[Shop-talk] Mounting a compressor

[eric at megageek.com]

I was just wonder how most people mount their vertical air compressors.

I've always left mine on the pallet it was shipped on and that seem to 
work well. 

Today they delivered the new monster compressor and it's huge.  The pallet 
it's on is much larger then what would be needed.

is it better to mount them on wood for free standing or is it better to 
bolt it down?  FWIW, I'm putting it on an asphalt floor (inside.)  But I 
can pour concrete if a pad is better.

It just seems to me that having the wood helps absorbed vibrations.

What's the 'correct' answer, and what is best practices?

TIA!!!
