Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor \u003c\/span\u003efills the need for an air compressor of compact size, yet with high-volume output and 100% duty cycle.  Because of its unique mix of high performance, reliability, and full tech support and parts support from ARB USA, this Twin Motor Air Compressor became the Gold Standard in vehicle-mounted onboard air and even obsoleted the engine-driven air compressors and CO2 air tanks that were popular among fourwheelers more than a decade ago.  This air compressor is so good that it changed the 4x4 landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output is suitable for inflating tires, powering ARB Air Lockers, and for running air tools.  A ducted cooling fan dissipates heat and gives the Twin Air Compressor a 100% duty cycle.  Even if one compressor overheats and shuts down from activation of the thermal relay, the other compressor will continue to run.  The pressure switch turns on the compressor at 135 psi and shuts off the compressor at 150 psi.  The sintered bronze air filters are splash-resistant and washable.  All wiring, switches, and mounting hardware necessary for proper operation are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe CKMTA12 Twin Motor Air Compressor is part of ARB 4x4's line of proven air compressors that
