Jenny GT5B-30P

The Jenny GT5B-30P is a 5-horsepower two-stage electric wheeled-portable air compressor on a 30-gallon ASME-certified horizontal tank. It delivers 15.2 CFM at 175 PSI (17.9 CFM displacement) from a cast-iron GT-series pump made in Somerset, Pennsylvania. The unit is belt-driven with a finned intercooler, large flywheel for extra cooling, totally enclosed belt guard, splash lubrication using Jenny Ultimate Blue oil, and a constant-run pilot valve set at 145-175 PSI. The portable platform includes pneumatic tires, lifting handles, anti-vibration feet, a directional air shroud for pump cooling, an oil sight glass, large canister intake filter with replaceable elements, and a stainless-steel braided discharge hose. Available voltages cover single-phase 230V and three-phase 208V, 230V, and 460V, with thermal overload motor protection across the line. The two-stage layout matches the airflow of much larger stationary units in a frame that fits in the back of a service truck. Common uses include mobile sandblasting, framing crews, mobile mechanical service, and shop applications where a stationary tank-mount unit is wrong-sized for the workspace.
