ARB Brushless Twin Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor
ARBCKBLTA12
The ARB Brushless Twin Motor Onboard Air Compressor delivers produces 50% more airflow than ARB's previous twin compressor, making it one of the highest-output onboard air systems available for off-road vehicles. When you're miles from pavement, onboard air isn't a luxury—it's one of the most valuable tools you can add to your vehicle.
Whether you're rock crawling, trail riding, overlanding, racing, or exploring remote backcountry roads, onboard air gives you the freedom to adjust tire pressure wherever conditions demand. Lower tire pressures improve ride quality, increase tire footprint, enhance traction on rocks and loose terrain, and reduce suspension harshness. Once you're back on the road, the ARB Brushless Twin quickly returns your tires to highway pressure so you can drive safely and efficiently.

Tech Insight
Why should I air down my tires off-road?
Lower tire pressure increases the tire footprint, improving traction, ride quality, and control on rocks, dirt, sand, and uneven terrain.
How fast will this compressor air up 37" tires?
Inflation time varies based on tire size and starting pressure, but the ARB Brushless Twin is one of the fastest onboard compressors available and significantly outperforms most portable compressors.
Can this run ARB Air Lockers?
Yes. The compressor is Air Locker ready, but the ARB Manifold Kit is required.
Is onboard air worth it?
For most off-road enthusiasts, onboard air quickly becomes one of their most-used upgrades because it improves convenience, trail efficiency, and vehicle capability.
Can I use this for tire repairs?
Yes. Onboard air is extremely useful for reseating beads, inflating repaired tires, and performing emergency trail repairs.
Is this compressor waterproof?
The compressor carries an IP67 water resistance rating and is designed for harsh off-road environments.
Can I run air tools with this compressor?
It can support many low-demand air accessories, but usage depends on tool air requirements and available air storage.
With over 9 CFM, this compressor is engineered for:
- Rapid inflation of large tires (37"–43")
- Air Locker operation
- Frequent inflation/deflation cycles
- Demanding off-road and racing environments
