Max Trac (Chinese) Compressor Storage

[Yukon65006]

Since I go to the dunes a few times a year and some light trails I decided to save a few pennies and buy the MaxTrac compressor from Napa. I installed the pressure switch that others have posted and have been happy with the unit except for the cheap bag it came with. Went to the shed for the something and saw a HF Pelican case knockoff I had bought for some other project that never happened. The compressor fit in it with no modifications needed.

Thought about bolting the compressor in but decided to just build a divider to wedge it into the corner. Some scrap plywood and 15min later success! Plenty of room for plug kit, 15ft hose, inflator, gloves, etc.. Now everything is in one spot and easy to store when not in use. And the case doesn't have any holes in it.

Still need to pickup a decent 15ft air hose. I cut down the one that came with it and installed some bard fittings for now. The hose is just thick-walled rubber tubing, most likely fine for what this compressor puts out but I will upgrade it.

Weighs 33lbs so 13lbs more than the compressor alone.

Nice! Just need to spray-paint that divider Max-Trak orange!

Good job.

@Tricky Dick - Isn't this a similar compressor you'll be offering? Could be good to bookmark this for reference for future customers.

Clones. I like this solution, and I'd rather put a hot just used compressor into this case than the storage bag.
