Description

When you’re running heavy equipment in dusty construction sites or wood processing operations, your engine is fighting a constant battle against airborne debris that can destroy expensive internal components. A clogged or worn air filter lets dirt, sawdust, and fine particles straight into your engine where they act like sandpaper on pistons and cylinders. This Baldwin PA2456 air filter keeps the bad stuff out so your equipment can keep working hard when deadlines are tight.

What You’re Getting

Large 24-inch filter length with 12 11/16-inch diameter for maximum dirt-holding capacity in tough conditions
Two attached gaskets and one included gasket for proper sealing and easy installation
Multi-layer pleated media that captures fine particles while maintaining the airflow your engine needs
Heavy-duty construction that stands up to constant vibration and temperature swings on jobsites
Direct replacement design that fits without modifications or adapters

Built for Heavy-Duty Work

This filter is designed for the demanding world of construction and forestry equipment including CMI pavers, Grove cranes, Insley excavators, Michigan wheel loaders, and Morbark wood processing equipment. It also works on Ingersoll-Rand and Sullair air compressors that power pneumatic tools and equipment. These machines work in some of the dustiest, most demanding environments where engine protection isn’t optional—it’s survival.

Made to Last

Baldwin has been making quality filters for decades, and this one’s engineered to handle the punishment heavy equipment dishes out. The pleated media holds its shape even when loaded with dirt, and the seals stay flexible through temperature swings and vibration. The robust end caps and gaskets maintain their seal even under the constant pressure changes and harsh conditions your equipment faces daily.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement—no modifications needed. When swapping filters, take a minute to clean out the air box and check for any cracks in the housing or loose clamps. In extremely dusty conditions like demolition or wood chipping, you might need to change filters more frequently than normal service intervals to keep your engine breathing easy.
