First-a genius move. When we moved, 67SS had the great idea to ziptie 2 autodollies together, put plywood on top, and we put my compressor on top of that. Moved onto the truck fairly easily considering it's a top heavy 3 legged thing going up a relatively steep ramp. It was ratcheted to the truck and didn't move. Came down nice and easy too. Wasn't terribly to take off on my own either.
Now the bonehead move: I get it over to where I want it-right in front of a 220 outlet and plug it in. Nothing. I check the, wires, connections, etc. Nothing. I check the outlet: 121 volts on either side. Plug it back in, remember the breaker-NOTHING! Then something clicked: I forgot that I had fully charged the tank in case I needed it during or right after the move. I haven't verified it, but I bet when the air pressure drops down, that compressor will fire right up.
Duh.

I expected much worse from the beginning of your story...
