I have a workshop of 80 sqm and want to utilize all the floor space I have. The idea is to move my compressor (150kg) by welding square profiles to brackets and attaching them to the wall. The walls are made of Leca blocks, so the question is, what will hold?
I want some sort of dampening material between the brackets and the wall, like rubber. But what can I screw into the wall? Should I actually use bolts straight through?
Grateful for thoughts and ideas!
The question is whether the walls can withstand the vibrations? How thick is the wall and how is it constructed? I would think you need a stand that goes all the way down to the floor and up to the ceiling. I'm not a constructor, so unfortunately, you will have to keep looking.
From experience, I think one should be very cautious when mounting compressors on walls or placing them on roof structures. Besides pure strength considerations, vibrations tend to spread in very undesirable ways. Compressors operate at frequencies that cause sound waves to easily interact with various building components.
It might be possible to hang it under the ceiling, in the rafters?
Perhaps build a small platform that hangs in round steel.
As high up as possible, so you can utilize the floor space below.

Thank you for all the answers! I agree with you. We'll build a playhouse outside for that little rascal so it can entertain itself as it pleases. Insulate it and add a vent so a bit of heat gets to it.

In our storage, we have an antifreeze with a simple car heater that maintains five degrees above zero. A vent is not something I would have dared to rely on.

One must consider that compressors partly intake some air and that they need cooling with air. A small doghouse with a frost guard for a compressor outdoors is not entirely trivial to solve.

Not at all what I meant. I meant that the valve in the wall seemed a bit small to keep the space frost-free.

As someone wrote, install a frost guard.
Make sure it's easy to drain the condensation water.
Looks nice with a compressor house outside
Let the outer part of the shelf hang in the drop ceiling. Rubber pads on the compressor's feet instead of the entire shelf rubber-suspended.[image]
That wasn't a bad idea. But I'm getting more and more convinced to keep the bulk on the ground. Don't want any surprises from above.

Yours looks like a 50-liter tank, weighing about 70kg.
Considering that TS writes that the compressor weighs 150kg, it must be a compressor with about a 200-liter tank, for example

So, you'll need sturdier equipment than yours.
True! It's 180 liters.
