Overview
The Ingersoll Rand 2340L5-V carries the Type 30 designation, which is one of Ingersoll Rand's most established stationary compressor lines. At 5HP and two-stage reciprocating design, it is positioned for shops that need reliable continuous-duty air without stepping up to 7.5HP territory. The $2,184.99 price sits in the commercial mid-tier for this category.
With 34 reviews and a 4.0-star rating, this unit sits just above the threshold for broad recommendation but lacks the strong consensus of higher-rated models. Owner feedback reflects a mix of long-term reliability praise and some concerns that likely relate to installation requirements and product variation over the product's lifespan on the market.
The two-stage reciprocating pump design is a proven approach in stationary compressors, delivering better pressure efficiency and thermal performance than single-stage alternatives. For shops that run air tools steadily over a full workday, this characteristic matters more than peak horsepower alone.
Pros
- Type 30 two-stage reciprocating design is a time-tested platform in professional shops
- 5HP rating supports sustained multi-tool air demand across a full workday
- 34 reviews provide a meaningful feedback base for a commercial compressor at this price
- Ingersoll Rand brand backing with established service and parts network
Cons
- 4.0-star rating is the lowest in the Ingersoll Rand stationary lineup shown here, suggesting some buyer dissatisfaction
- Published specs are not detailed in the listing, requiring direct confirmation of tank size, CFM, and PSI from the seller
- No recent monthly purchase data, which limits demand-signal confidence for new buyers
Performance notes
As a 5HP two-stage reciprocating unit, the Ingersoll Rand 2340L5-V is built for professional continuous-duty use. Two-stage compression gives it an efficiency advantage over single-stage designs, particularly at higher working pressures. The Type 30 series has historically been used in industrial maintenance and fabrication environments where dependable output over many years is the primary requirement.
What buyers say
Owners who rate it positively cite long service life and dependable air output in professional settings. Critical reviews tend to focus on shipping damage or installation complexity rather than fundamental design flaws. The 4.0-star average reflects a mixed but generally functional ownership experience.

How does the Ingersoll Rand 2340L5-V compare to the 2475N7.5?
