Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C1130G Air Compressor – 11HP Iron

Description

Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C1130G Air Compressor – 11 HP Iron Series Two-Stage Gas Driven Compressor

The Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C1130G Air Compressor is a rugged 11 HP gasoline-powered two-stage reciprocating compressor from Chicago Pneumatic’s Iron Series, designed for professional contractors, service trucks, construction crews, and remote job sites where electrical power is not available. Built with a full cast iron pump system, this unit delivers strong, reliable airflow in a compact mobile package.

It features an 11 HP Honda gasoline engine, a two-stage cast iron compressor pump, and a 30-gallon ASME-certified horizontal air receiver tank, making it ideal for field operations that require portability and consistent compressed air performance.

This model produces approximately 18 CFM at 100 PSI (up to ~175 PSI maximum system pressure), making it suitable for powering pneumatic tools, nailers, impact tools, and light blasting equipment in off-grid environments.

Key Features

• 11 HP Honda gasoline engine
• Heavy-duty two-stage cast iron compressor pump
• Air delivery: ~18 CFM @ 100 PSI
• Maximum operating pressure: 175 PSI
• 30-gallon ASME-certified horizontal air receiver tank
• Electric start (on select configurations) + recoil start
• Fully enclosed belt guard for safety
• Engine slowdown (pilot valve) for fuel efficiency
• Cast iron cylinders and crankcase for durability
• Designed for mobile and service truck applications

Performance Overview

Key performance advantages include:

• Reliable startup in remote environments
• Strong airflow for portable pneumatic tools
• Engine-driven independence from electrical supply
• Durable construction for rough jobsite conditions

Typical applications include:

• Construction and infrastructure work
• Mobile maintenance trucks
• Roadside service operations
• Light sandblasting and surface prep
• Remote industrial repair jobs

Before ordering the Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C1130G Air Compressor – 11HP Iron from Chicago Pneumatic, review the points below against your actual site conditions and workload. Published specifications describe the equipment under test conditions, and real-world performance depends on how closely your application matches those conditions. Buyers in the United States, Canada, and Asia should also confirm local voltage and frequency requirements, applicable safety or emissions standards, and freight or import logistics for the destination before finalizing an order.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Total the real CFM demand of every tool that could run at the same time, then add reserve capacity for leaks and future tools – not just the single largest tool's rating.
• Confirm voltage and phase availability (120V/240V, single/three-phase) matches the compressor's electrical requirement.
• Check tank size relative to duty cycle – a larger tank reduces motor cycling on intermittent loads but does not substitute for adequate CFM on continuous-demand tools.
• Review noise rating if the compressor will run in an occupied or noise-sensitive space.

Does tank size matter more than CFM for a shop air compressor?

CFM output matters more for continuous-demand tools (sanders, grinders); tank size matters more for intermittent high-draw tools (impact wrenches, nail guns) where the tank supplies a burst faster than the motor could alone. Undersized CFM cannot be fixed by a bigger tank if the tool's continuous demand exceeds the compressor's output.

For sizing help across the full Compressor category, compare specifications side by side before committing to a specific model, and confirm current pricing, availability, and freight details for your location. Keep the supplier data sheet and any acceptance criteria on record for future maintenance and replacement decisions.
