The DeWalt DXCMV5048055.01 5 HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Oil-Lube Industrial Air Compressor is built for the heavy-duty professional who needs reliable air volume and pressure. With a maximum 175 PSI and an 80-gallon tank, it can handle impact wrenches, nailers, grinders, and spray guns without constantly cycling the pump.
DeWalt DXCMV5048055.01 Two-Stage Air Compressor: Power That Lasts
The two-stage pump compresses air more efficiently and runs cooler than single-stage units. Combined with a 5 HP motor and TOPS thermal overload protection, this compressor is designed to keep up with a busy shop.
Why 80-Gallon and 175 PSI Matter
An 80-gallon tank gives you a large reserve of compressed air, so tools with high momentary demand—like sanders or impact guns—don't bog down. At 175 PSI, you can dial in the pressure your tools need and still maintain longer run times.
Setup and Installation
This unit does not require a magnetic starter, which reduces installation cost and complexity. The patented cast-iron flywheel with large extended fins keeps the pump cool at low RPM, extending component life.

Product Details
Built for Continuous Professional Demand
Whether you’re running a spray booth, a framing crew, or an auto shop, an air compressor that short-cycles wastes time and energy. The DXCMV5048055.01’s oversized pump and tank work together to cut runtime while keeping your tools at full power.
Cooler Pump, Longer Life
The patented pump design reduces operating temperature, which helps oil last longer and seals stay tight. Large cast-iron flywheel fins pull air across the pump at low RPM—less stress on every component.
Ready for Hard Wired Installation
No magnetic starter means a simpler electrical hookup. Have a qualified electrician run the 230V circuit, set the pressure switch, and this compressor is ready for a decade of service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size air tools can this compressor run?
With 175 PSI and an 80-gallon tank, it can supply many air tools at once—impact wrenches, nailers, grinders, and paint sprayers—with less cycling.
Do I need a special electrical circuit?
The 5 HP motor requires a dedicated circuit with a 230V connection and proper amp rating. A magnetic starter is not required, which simplifies installation.
How do I maintain the oil-lubricated pump?
Regularly check the oil level and replace it according to the user manual. The cast-iron pump is designed for cooler operation and long service life.
Is it portable?
It's a stationary compressor with a vertical tank design. It can be moved by lifting from the fork pockets or using a pump truck, but it’s meant for a fixed shop location.

Beast of a compressor
This thing runs my sandblaster and two impact wrenches without breaking a sweat. The 80-gallon tank means I rarely hear it kick on. The two-stage pump is quiet for its size.

Built to last
I've been a mechanic for 30 years and this is the best compressor I've owned. It's powerful, reliable, and the tank is massive. It handles multiple tools at once. The oil lube is a must for constant use. I'm glad I bought it.
