FS-Curtis CA7.5-VUP — 7.5 HP Air Compressor
A shop with a narrow bay or tight wall space that's outgrown a 5 HP compressor's output needs the extra 7.5 HP headroom without giving up the vertical tank's smaller floor footprint — and without adding a separate dryer purchase later.
The FS-Curtis CA7.5-VUP is a two-stage reciprocating, ultra pack compressor rated for 7.5 HP with an 80 gallon vertical ASME tank, built for multi-bay shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day. The included Ultra Pack — factory-installed automatic tank drain and refrigerated air dryer — cuts down on the maintenance routine so your team spends less time babysitting the compressor and more time on paying work.
Who the CA7.5-VUP Is Built For
- âś… A shop with a tight footprint that's outgrown the CA5/CA5+ line's 5 HP output but still needs the vertical tank's narrower floor space
- âś… A paint or finishing operation that wants the refrigerated dryer factory-installed instead of retrofitting it after a moisture-related job failure
- âś… A one- or two-tech shop where nobody consistently drains the tank at close, wanting the auto-drain handled automatically
- âś… An owner comparing this against the base CA7.5-V and deciding the accessory bundle is worth the price gap up front rather than adding it piecemeal later
- âś… A shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's Ultra Pack tier for consistent maintenance routines across multiple locations
What the CA7.5-VUP Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Home garages or single-bay shops doing occasional work — a smaller portable unit costs far less
- ❌ Budget-conscious buyers who don't need the extra accessories yet — the base CA7.5-V saves real money
- ❌ Shops needing more than roughly 23-24 CFM continuous or wanting redundancy — look at a duplex configuration instead
What Makes the CA7.5-VUP Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA7.5-VUP uses an E57, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage, 2-Cylinder pump built for daily, all-day duty cycles — not a hobby-grade single-stage unit that struggles under continuous shop use.
CFM & Pressure Output
Delivers 23.2 CFM @ 175 PSI and holds pressure up to 175 PSI, enough headroom to run impact wrenches, tire equipment, and paint tools without the tank running dry.
Ultra Pack Upgrades
Includes factory-installed automatic tank drain and refrigerated air dryer — upgrades that reduce maintenance and extend the life of the tank and pump versus a base-model compressor.
Power Requirements
Single or Three-Phase, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- Factory air-quality accessories
- Compact vertical footprint
- 7.5 HP daily-duty output
- Home garages / occasional use
- Shops needing full duplex redundancy
CA7.5-VUP vs. Atlas AF9-120H (7.5 HP, 120 Gal Horizontal) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CA7.5-VUP | Atlas AF9-120H (7.5 HP, 120 Gal Horizontal) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 7.5 HP / 80 Gal Vertical | 7.5 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 23.2 CFM | 22 CFM |
| Tank orientation / size | Vertical, smaller footprint, 80 Gal | Horizontal, larger reserve, 120 Gal |
| Included accessories | Ultra Pack bundle (auto-drain/dryer) | Standard commercial configuration |
Choose the CA7.5-VUP when floor space is tight and you want factory-installed air-quality accessories. Choose the Atlas AF9-120H when a larger 120-gallon reserve matters more than a compact footprint. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
