ARB AIR COMPRESSORS
ARB AIR COMPRESSORS
ARB designs and manufactures air compressors in-house, using state-of-the- art machinery with a large group of highly skilled and specialised engineers.
Tried and tested extensively to ensure you can rely on an ARB air compressor when out on the tracks.
Few 4WDers head off road without an air compressor.
It provides peace of mind and certainty.
ARB air compressors are available in both vehicle-mounted and portable kits and they’re built for extreme environments.
Whether you’re activating Air Lockers, inflating tyres and camping accessories or even reseating a tyre onto a wheel, there’s a model available to suit your needs.
All ARB vehicle-mounted compressors are resistant to water, dust, heat and shock to help withstand the rigours of off road travel.
The portable compressors come complete with a six-metre air hose, battery clamps, inflation kit, hard-mounted activation switch, professional circuit protection and a durable carry case.
ARB SINGLE COMPRESSOR
​
ARB’s most popular compressor, the single compressor is constructed entirely of lightweight, durable materials and features a class-leading flow rate. Available in portable and onboard.
Features:
-
Sealed for moisture and dust resistance
-
Teflon-impregnated carbon fibre piston seal for trouble-free life
-
Anodised mounting bracket dissipates motor heat and allows compressor to be repositioned 180 degrees on vehicle-mounted models
-
Equipped with over-pressure safety valve
-
Motor is internally thermal protected against extreme temperature damage
-
Heavy-duty in-line maxi fuse provides professional circuit protection
-
Available in either a 12-volt or 24-volt configuration
ARB TWIN AIR COMPRESSOR
​
Twice the flow, twice the speed. The twin compressor is perfect for serious 4WDers, vehicles with larger than average tyre size or for competition purposes. Available in portable and onboard.
The twin compressor comprises two single compressors, which means it has all the features of the single compressor plus the following.
Features:
• Suitable for many air tools when used in
conjunction with a four-litre air tank (optional with
onboard models)
• 100 per cent duty cycle with fan for continuous
and heavy-duty operation
AIR ACCESSORIES
TAKE THE PRESSURE DOWN
When out 4WDing, tyre pressure can have a huge impact on your driving experience and performance, as well as longevity of your tyres and your environmental footprint. Below is a pressure guide to help you on your next getaway:
​
​
​
Bitumen
32-38psi
For standard size tyres, use the pressures specified on your vehicle’s placard. Higher pressures will be required when carrying heavier loads.
Fast/Smooth Gravel
32-36psi
Ensure your tyre pressure isn’t too low as this can result in loss of steering response and stability, especially if you’re driving fast.
Slow/Rough Gravel
26-32psi
Keep in mind, the higher the speed, the more heat generated in the tyre according to your load.
Mud
22-28psi
If the mud is thick and has a loose, deep base, lower tyre pressures, avoid wheel spinning and maintain momentum.
If the mud is watery and has a solid base, you can maintain high pressures, maintain momentum but never drive fast as you can lose control. If the mud is medium consistency, you need to drive with enough momentum that still maintains traction.
Sand
16-26psi
This depends on the depth and coarseness of the sand.
Lower tyre pressure improves your longitudinal footprint and flotation. Sudden or heavy movements of the steering can be dangerous and speed needs to be appropriately reduced depending on depth of sand.
Rocky Gravel/Rocks
22-28psi
Always drive slowly and in low range.
Lowering tyre pressure over this terrain improves traction and flexibility.
Very low pressure (around 20psi or less) can create the risk of pushing the tyre bead off the rim.
Please note that these are recommendations and dependent on location, weather and vehicle weight, may vary.
