The QP MAX 10 HP vertical compressor delivers 35 CFM at 175 PSI from a 120-gallon receiver, giving busy shops substantial stored-air capacity while keeping the floor footprint to just 30" × 40". The two-stage pump is built for efficient compression to 175 PSI, while the vertical configuration preserves valuable shop floor space. This version runs on 230V 3-phase power and is rated for continuous-duty operation. Note: the unit stands approximately 75" tall, so verify overhead clearance before ordering.
The two-stage compression system uses a high-efficiency fin-and-tube intercooler between stages to cool the air before final compression. The result is cooler, denser air entering the second cylinder, helping the pump reach its rated pressure while reducing thermal stress. A mounted air-cooled aftercooler then lowers discharge temperature before air enters the receiver, encouraging moisture to condense at the compressor instead of farther down the shop air line. A spin-on oil filter, oil sight glass, low-oil shutoff, and magnetic starter with thermal overload protection provide additional protection during demanding operation.
This compressor is a strong fit for general automotive repair shops, tire and suspension facilities, and multi-bay workshops where several pneumatic tools may operate at the same time. The 175 PSI maximum gives the 120-gallon receiver more pressure headroom to absorb demand spikes before the pump needs to recover, while the compact vertical footprint works well in shops where floor space is limited. At approximately 850 lbs, it requires a level, properly supported and anchored slab, with adequate access for maintenance. A dryer, air piping, filtration, regulators, disconnect, and electrical feed are not included.
Why 175 PSI Matters
Most shop tools operate below the compressor's maximum pressure. The value of 175 PSI is the additional storage and operating headroom it provides.
A receiver charged to 175 PSI can supply longer periods of demand before pressure drops to the cut-in point. That matters when several tools are running or a high-demand tool operates continuously. More pressure headroom can help maintain regulated pressure at the point of use.
Two-Stage Compression & Cooling
The two-stage pump divides compression between a larger first-stage cylinder and a smaller second-stage cylinder. Between them, a high-efficiency fin-and-tube intercooler removes heat before the second stage.
Cooling the air between stages helps the second stage compress cooler, denser air while reducing thermal stress. Cast-iron cylinders, aluminum heads and a mounted air-cooled aftercooler complete the cooling system, with the aftercooler reducing discharge temperature before air enters the receiver and helping moisture condense at the compressor.
Built-In Protection
The pump includes a spin-on oil filter, oil sight glass and low-oil shutoff. The filter removes contaminants from the lubrication system, the sight glass makes oil level checks straightforward, and the low-oil protection shuts the machine down when lubrication becomes insufficient.
A magnetic starter with thermal overload protection protects the motor from overload conditions.
Will It Fit?
-
Floor: 30" W × 40" D. The vertical receiver provides 120-gallon capacity on a compact footprint.

Certification, Honestly
This unit’s recorded certifications include ASME pressure-vessel code for the receiver and a CSA mark. ASME certification applies specifically to the pressure vessel, not automatically to the complete machine. If your insurer, inspector, or local authority requires a specific equipment listing, verify it against the unit’s data plate before ordering.
Before You Order — Please Confirm
-
Lubrication: Published information conflicts between pressure lubrication and splash lubrication. If this matters to your purchase, confirm with us in writing before ordering.
-
Tank drain: Published specifications differ on whether an automatic electronic tank drain is fitted. Confirm before ordering if you require one.
-
Pump speed: No pump RPM is published for this specific build. We will not substitute a figure from another model.
Shipping & Delivery
Ships by freight within the lower 48 states, with the rate calculated at checkout. The unit weighs 850 lbs and ships palletized, so plan for a forklift or loading dock. Terminal pickup is also available. Residential delivery adds a residential fee.
Inspect the unit before signing for delivery. Check the tank, feet, belt guard, gauges, and cooler, and record any damage on the bill of lading with the driver present.
Warranty
Includes a 1-year factory warranty, extendable to 3 years under Quincy’s “No Bull” warranty, subject to the requirements in the warranty handbook.
Do not disassemble the pump before contacting us about a warranty claim. Unauthorized disassembly can affect warranty coverage.
