@markT A rug, large door mat, rubber horse stall mats, or carpet scraps placed beneath the compressor feet and wheels may help. Or simply try chocking the wheels.

Didn't think of a mat.. I may try that first. If doesn't work I'll try plywood and maybe use some pipe hanger straps over the tubular base or maybe over the synthetic wheels..

My Alkin W31 is “walking” (moving around on floor) when I run it. Was thinking about putting a 24”x 22” 3/4” plywood under it and fasten some ~3/4” x 3/4” wood strips perpendicular and against the wheels.
Anyone else experienced a W31 moving while running and have a solution?

probably need to level the rubber pads on the bottom of the frame, making sure that they are all touching the floor evenly. Had the same issue until I did this.

Do the “pads” thread in and out? Sorry to be lazy had some surgery that prevents me from investigating. Thanks
