General Tyre inflator / compressor & generator recommendations please

[MAW73]

Any recommendations for a decent tyre inflator / compressor and also a generator.

I would like something reasonably compact for the van for running a single kart.

I am not after something necessarily cheap as I want something reliable, that's going to last and be man enough for the job.

Also please kindly advise any accessories needed in terms of attachments for the above.

we use
Hyundai HY3200 Genny but that's for the camper as well. If it's just for day karting then a smaller unit would be fine. We started with a 2kw when we had a van so we could cook etc.

We used to use a small Stanley Portable compressor like this it was ok on my cadet kart but for a big kart it was forever pumping so we got something similar to this doesnt take much floorspace as it's upright.

Any inflator will work, we use a digital unit so it's somewhere near where we want it

Thanks Lucas for the suggestions. That's a great help.

We use one of these, mainly because all our work gear is Makita and we have the batteries/chargers already. It'll put 60psi in the van tyres no issues, perfect for Karting.

But if you want a genny and a bigger compressor then what Lucas mentioned seems spot on!

Surprisingly handy for such a small unit huh?! I do like my Makita stuff, always good quality gear.
