The revolutionary ARB Brushless Twin Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor features a brushless electric motor, a built-in fan for active cooling, cutting-edge smart technology, and a whopping 50% increase in air output compared to the excellent and proven ARB Twin Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor (CKMTA12), which was the Gold Standard of onboard air compressors and was so good that it obsoleted the engine-driven air compressors and CO2 tanks that were very popular amoung fourhweelers more than a decade ago.  ARB Brushless Air Compressors are compatible with ARB’s existing range of onboard air accessories and hose kits, and ARB Air Lockers, making upgrading your current air system super easy.  All wiring, switches, and mounting hardware necessary for proper operation are included.

Features include:

  • 50% Increase in output – ARB Brushless boasts an additional 50% in output when compared to the excellent ARB Twin Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor (CKMTA12)
  • Active Cooling – An active cooling system has been included with a fan in each motor/compressor assembly to achieve higher performance and longevity
  • Electronic Speed Control - Maintains optimum performance and operations across all pressure and ambient temperature conditions
  • Status Reporting – Live diagnostics via audio and visual alerts
  • Voltage and Overload Protection – Protects the compressor and power supply from damage due to voltage spikes, drops, fluctuations, overcurrent, and motor stalls
  • Continuity in Function – The ARB Brushless is constantly monitoring itself and can make adjustments to account for factors such as temperature and variations in vehicle charging systems
  • Quick-release Mounts – Onboard units can be removed using cam-lock quick-release mounts, making installation and removing a simple process
  • Relays Eliminated – The inclusion of the brushless motor also means there is not any need for the mounting of relays, further reducing the install time

The Brushless Twin Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor is part of ARB 4x4's line of proven air compressors that includes:

The ARB air compressors with brushed motors are far from obsolete.  They are excellent units that have been proven after many years of hard use all around the world.  While the brushless air compressors offer 50% more air output, keep in mind that the brushless units cost about 50% more.

The twin-motor units are the way to go and the single-motor units come into play only if you absolutely cannot fit a twin-motor unit into your vehicle's dead space.

Probably the simplest and easiest onboard air system for your vehicle is to pair your ARB air compressor with the ARB Air Compressor Pump Up Kit.  The output end of the air compressor has standard 1/4" NPT threads that will accept the Pump Up Kit's quick-connect air coupler, which accepts the air hose, which accepts the inflation fitting, which connects to your tire valves.  Everything is plug and play and very simple and intuitive.

If you want to use your CKBLA12 as an air source for both ARB Air Lockers and for inflating tires, take a look at the ARB Air Locker Manifold Kit.  The Air Locker Manifold Kit is a small air tank with multiple output ports that enables easy installation of two ARB Air Locker solenoids and the ARB Air Compressor Pump Up Kit to your vehicle's onboard air system.

If you desire even greater performance, you can pair your ARB Air Compressor with the ARB 4-Liter Aluminum Air Tank to have about a gallon of compressed air always at the ready for tasks such as seating tire beads or heavy air flushing with a blowgun.

Approximately 90% of your trail fixes will involve tires.  And nearly all fourwheeling involves deflating and inflating tires.  So having an onboard air system on your 4x4 is mandatory.  Acquire the tools and skills to perform tire repairs and you will be well on the way to becoming a compleat offroader.
