My 60-gallon compressor has been mounted on Prowler rubber body mounts for over 20 years, hasn't moved an inch. Have a steel safety cable fastened to the wall on two sides of it just in case.

I used a large rubber mud flap from a big rig to put under the feet of my 80gal IR compressor. It has enough give to quiet any vibration and hasn't moved in 20 years of use.

Hockey pucks! I use then under my 80 gal compressor and practically all heavy equipment in my shop. On your 60 gal compressor which probably has only 3 legs all you need is 3 pucks, 3 1.5" lag bolts and 3 flat washers. I pre-drill a center hole in my pucks which makes it easy to screw the lag bolts in. Easy-peasy and your compressor will never move (on its own). FWIW Bill
I always wanted a few though..heh heh!

I went to my local Grainger & they sold me rubber vibration isolator pucks that bolted to the air compressor - they also can be mounted to the floor if you want to keep it from walking... I never mounted mine to the floor - that was 28 years ago - still hasn't moved
