The Chicago Pneumatic RCP-1330G is a 13 HP truck-mount compressor powered by a Honda gasoline engine, so it does not depend on a building's electrical service to produce compressed air. Its two-stage pump operates at up to 175 PSI and feeds a 30-gallon ASME/CRN-certified receiver equipped with safety valves. The product is also listed as Made in the USA, giving buyers a clear point of distinction in a category where many compressors are imported. For mobile service work, fleet maintenance, agricultural applications, and jobsites without convenient power, the engine-driven design eliminates the need for an electrical connection at the compressor.
Several features are designed specifically for intermittent use in the field. A pilot-valve engine slowdown reduces engine speed when the receiver reaches pressure and there is no air demand, helping limit unnecessary fuel consumption, noise, and engine hours between jobs. The cold-start valve unloads the pump during startup, reducing the load on the engine when starting from cold. The compressor also provides 12V electric and recoil starting, giving operators a backup if the battery is unavailable or discharged. An oil monitor adds another layer of protection against low-oil operation, while the fully enclosed belt guard protects the moving drive components during use.
This RCP-1330G is intended for mobile mechanics, service trucks, fleet maintenance crews, agricultural operations, and construction or field-service work where compressed air needs to travel with the operator. The 30-gallon receiver keeps the package practical for a vehicle-mounted application while the two-stage pump provides the pressure needed for demanding pneumatic equipment. With both electric and recoil starting, automatic engine slowdown, and a Honda engine, it is built around the realities of equipment that may spend one day in a fleet yard and the next working far from an electrical outlet.

Overall width and height are held in our data as bare numbers with no unit recorded against them, so they are not printed here. The model number row is deliberately absent too — see the note at the top of this page.
Certification, Stated Honestly
The manufacturer describes the tank and safety valves as certified pressure equipment.
No third-party electrical or complete-machine safety listing is recorded in our data for this model. If your insurer, local code or fleet policy requires a specific listing, tell us what you need and we will confirm the available documentation before ordering.
Shipping & Delivery
Ships by palletized freight to the lower 48 states. At 261 lbs, it is relatively manageable, but you will still need a forklift, loading dock, pallet jack or suitable unloading plan. Terminal pickup is an alternative. Residential delivery carries an additional fee.
Inspect the crate with the driver present. Photograph the shipment and record any damage on the bill of lading before signing.
Warranty
Our specification record states a 2-Year warranty, with detailed terms published by Chicago Pneumatic for its compressor range.
If a failure occurs, stop using the machine and contact us before disassembly. Keep the compressor assembled for inspection, photograph the condition as found, and provide the serial number from the tank when contacting us.
