BelAire 318VE Air Compressor – 8HP Vertical

BelAire 318VE Air Compressor: 13-HP Honda-Powered Vertical Elite Series

The BelAire 318VE Air Compressor is a high-performance, gas-driven air solution engineered specifically for mobile service technicians and contractors who require maximum power in a minimal footprint. By mounting the legendary 13-HP Honda GX390 engine on a 30-gallon vertical ASME receiver, this Elite-series powerhouse provides a high-pressure independent air source without the bulky space requirements of horizontal units. Integrating this vertical system into your service truck through our platform ensures a fail-safe pneumatic infrastructure capable of operating in the most remote job sites where electrical power is unavailable.

At its engineering core, the 318VE features a heavy-duty two-stage solid cast iron pump delivering a formidable 25.3 CFM at 100 PSI. As a flagship in our professional mobile air compressor collection, it utilizes the “Elite” configuration, which includes a factory-installed electric start and integrated alternator. This ensures peak volumetric efficiency and convenience, allowing the operator to focus on the task at hand while the centrifugal unloader handles loadless starts to protect the engine’s drivetrain.
