The handle on it easily folds down for a mobile application. I would look into this one seriously if i were you.
I bought the same one for my mobile compressor for doing service work. I think it's a piece of crap. Everything ratles loose on it, doesn't run in the cold very well,extremly loud. I wouldn't buy another one.
Had a small twin tank Prime compressor for years and it was way better than this makita.Unfortunatly someone stole it from my truck....
