The Cast Air R1018VP75 is a 10 HP single-phase rotary screw air compressor built around an 80-gallon vertical tank, rated at 40 CFM at 100 PSI. It is the entry point in the Cast Air 10 HP rotary screw lineup — the most affordable of the four 10 HP configurations — and the right starting point for shops that need continuous-duty rotary screw performance, run on single-phase 230V power, and want to minimize floor space consumed by the compressor. The vertical tank keeps the footprint tight while the rotary screw design delivers consistent, steady air across a full production day.
Key Features
- Rotary Screw Technology: Oil-flooded rotary screw design provides continuous-duty air supply with steady pressure and minimal pulsation — a significant step up from piston compressors that heat air during each compression stroke and require duty cycle management.
- Single-Phase Power — No 3-Phase Required: Operates on standard 230V single-phase service. This is the critical feature for shops that do not have three-phase electrical infrastructure and cannot justify the cost of a transformer or panel upgrade.
- 40 CFM at 100 PSI: Rated free air delivery handles the simultaneous demand of standard shop tools, lifts, and spray equipment at normal working pressures.
- 80-Gallon Vertical Tank: Compact footprint uses minimal floor space while providing sufficient receiver volume for most light-to-moderate shop applications. The vertical orientation is practical in tight compressor rooms and utility closets with available ceiling height.
- Smallest Footprint in the Cast Air 10 HP Lineup: Among the four 10 HP configurations, the 80-gallon vertical tank occupies the least floor space — the right call when space is the primary constraint.
- Continuous Duty Rated: Designed for sustained operation through a full shift, unlike piston compressors that require cooling intervals.

What This Compressor Handles
40 CFM at 100 PSI covers standard general-service shop demand:
- Vehicle lifts — cycling two-post and four-post lifts in service bays with consistent pressure
- Air-powered hand tools — impact wrenches, ratchets, air hammers, and grinders with sustained pressure under load
- Spray painting and HVLP finishing — steady supply pressure for quality finish work without spikes or drops
- Tire service — bead seating, inflation, and deflation in fleet or tire shop environments
- Moderate simultaneous demand — the 80-gallon receiver handles multiple tools running at once in lighter-demand environments; heavy simultaneous use may cycle the compressor more often than a 120-gallon configuration would
- General shop pneumatics — blow guns, shop tools, and facility pneumatic equipment
Where This Unit Fits in the Cast Air 10 HP Lineup
Cast Air offers four 10 HP single-phase rotary screw configurations. Here is where the R1018VP75 sits:
- R1018VP75 — $10,647.82 (this unit): 80-gal vertical, 40 CFM @ 100 PSI. Smallest footprint, lowest price in the 10 HP lineup. Best for space-constrained shops with moderate demand.
- R1018HP75 — $11,103.63: 80-gal horizontal, 40 CFM @ 100 PSI. Same capacity and pressure as this unit, horizontal orientation for low-ceiling or high-traffic stability requirements. Costs $455.81 more.
- R10112HP75 — $11,448.47: 120-gal horizontal, 40 CFM @ 135 PSI. Higher pressure rating and larger receiver buffer. The right step up for shops with higher peak demand or tools that benefit from pressure above 100 PSI.
- R10112VP75 — $12,120.72: 120-gal vertical, 40 CFM @ 100 PSI. Largest receiver in a compact vertical footprint. Highest price in the lineup. For shops needing maximum buffer volume in minimum floor space.
If you are running a single technician or light general service work, this unit covers it. If you run multiple bays simultaneously or need sustained high-demand output, step up to a 120-gallon configuration and call us to confirm the fit.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Tank — Picking the Right Orientation
- Vertical (this unit) — smaller floor footprint, taller height. Right for shops with ceiling clearance and limited floor space. Slightly higher center of gravity, so it should be placed on a stable, level surface in a low-traffic area.
- Horizontal (R1018HP75) — larger floor area, lower profile. Better under low ceilings, more stable in busy areas, easier to move through doorways. Costs $455.81 more than this unit.
