How do you mount/secure your vertical air compressor?

[Bigkrank]

I have both my 7.5hp on those thick rubber 3 X 4 horse? mats TSC has.

I have my compressor on a wood frame, it absorbs the vibration and I have it secured to the wall with nylon strapping, I live in an earthquake zone.
I did not and will not bolt it to the floor, I may want to move it.

Just so I could see your little blue face.

Ours is wall mounted, bolted through the wall with metal plate on the outside,
The feet are mounted on squares of thick rubber.

Mine sits on small squares of stall mat material about 3/4" thick. I'll bet it hasn't moved 1/4" in the 5 years it has stood there.

Mine is still on the pallet. When I bought it directly from the manufacturer here that is a pretty decent sized operation I asked them about it. The guy said, just leave it on the pallet if you want to - most folks do. That was the technical service guy that handled me buying it and answered my questions. They were even nice enough to make a "lay down skid" for it. The guy said to bring 2 8' 2x4's and they would make a basic skid so it could sit on it's back for much better stability in the PU bed. Now that's service (no charge)! He said to just let it sit vertical for a couple hours before starting it up so the oil drained back down. Easy enough as I had to wire it in anyways. Great guys to work with

I bolted my 60 gal IR to a 3x3 piece of 3/4" plywood.

I have mine bolted to 4x4's that are tap-con'd to the floor through rubber..Hasn't moved in 6 years

i couldn't justify removing something that was already supplied with the compressor (pallet) in order to expend effort to replace it with something that would do the same job.
