Long ago I bought a Devilbiss 2-cylinder compressor with a big, horizontal tank, from a company that sold all kinds of compressors. They told me to not bolt it to the floor, rather to place it on rubber pads that they provided.

If you need to [because of your vertical tank], you could make some kind of mounts that presented vertical pins that could engage with the holes in the legs, maybe even with a travel stop so it could not tip over, but don't bolt it down hard.

If you bolt it down you will get noise and vibration that you won't get if you do not bolt it down. Also, bolting it down stresses the legs. They were very emphatic about this.
