<div><font face="sans-serif" size="2">So I ordered my new compressor yesterday. Later that night, a buddy told me he needed to get a air compressor out of a friend's house where it has been sitting for a few years. It was never used, but he bought it new.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">My question, can I transport a vertical tank compressor on it's side? I want to help move it, but is there any reason I can't lay it down in a truck (we can't lift it in the truck.)</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">Just asking.</font> <br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
Thanks.</font> <br>
