FS-Curtis ML10-SH — 10 HP Air Compressor

A commercial shop that's just added a second and third bay has watched its compressor's tank empty faster than it recovers once two techs pull air at the same time — that's the moment an owner realizes a smaller CA-series unit has run out of headroom and it's time to step up to the ML Series' industrial pump platform.

The FS-Curtis ML10-SH is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 10 HP with a 120 gallon horizontal ASME tank, built for shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day without paying for accessories they don’t need.

Who the ML10-SH Is Built For

  • ✅ A multi-bay commercial shop that's outgrown the CA-series output and needs the ML Series' heavier-duty pump platform, but doesn't need the Ultra Pack accessories yet
  • ✅ An owner replacing a worn compressor who wants the lower entry price of a base configuration and plans to add accessories later if needed
  • ✅ A shop with an existing air dryer or filtration system already installed that doesn't need factory-bundled accessories duplicating what's already in place
  • ✅ A commercial operation running several bays simultaneously that needs sustained 40 CFM output without the added cost of Ultra Pack extras
  • ✅ A shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's ML Series for parts and service commonality, starting with the base tier

What the ML10-SH Is NOT Built For

  • ❌ Single-bay or smaller shops — the CA5/CA7.5/CA10 line covers lighter demand at a lower price
  • ❌ Shops wanting factory auto-drain/dryer accessories standard — the Ultra Pack (ML10-HUP) adds those, this base unit doesn't
  • ❌ Shops needing 120V/240V single-phase power — this series is three-phase only

What Makes the ML10-SH Different

Commercial 2-Stage Pump

The ML10-SH uses a D97, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage 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 39.8 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.

Power Requirements

Three-Phase only, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.

✅ Best For
  • Higher CFM at lower entry price
  • ML Series industrial pump platform
  • Multi-bay commercial shops
❌ Not Ideal For
  • Single-bay / smaller shops
  • Single-phase-only electrical

ML10-SH vs. FS-Curtis CA10-VUP (10 HP, 120 Gal Vertical, Ultra Pack) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?

Decision Point ML10-SH FS-Curtis CA10-VUP (10 HP, 120 Gal Vertical, Ultra Pack)
Horsepower / Tank 10 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal 10 HP / 120 Gal Vertical
CFM @ 175 PSI 39.8 CFM 34.2 CFM
Included accessories Standard configuration, no bundled accessories Ultra Pack bundle (auto-drain/dryer)
Best fit Shops wanting more CFM at a lower entry price Shops wanting factory air-quality accessories included

Choose the ML10-SH for more CFM output at a lower entry price if you don't need bundled accessories. Choose the FS-Curtis CA10-VUP if factory-installed air-quality accessories matter more than raw CFM. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (817) 865-3707.

Frequently Asked Questions — FS-Curtis ML10-SH

What electrical does the ML10-SH need?

Both use the same 10 HP D97 pump and 120-gallon horizontal tank. The ML10-HUP adds FS-Curtis's Ultra Pack accessory bundle (auto-drain and refrigerated dryer) at the factory; this base ML10-SH doesn't include those extras.

Why Buy the ML10-SH from Alamo Equipment & Service?
