I cannot rave enough about this thing! I bought it as a solution for my 4×4 since I don’t have a built in compressor. It is easily portable and the water and dust-tight case make it a great thing to have aboard my truck. The best part about this compressor is the powerful, easy, flawless operation. I was stunned to see how quickly this thing will air up four tires after they’ve been aired down. I had thought before using it that airing up would take a little while. Then when I actually used it, I was able to add 20 psi to all four of my tires in about three minutes or less, including the time it took to connect the battery leads and air hose. I did purchase it with the optional ARB gauge-nozzle, and I feel really good about that. Yes, this thing is expensive, but it really is worth every single penny. I am pretty convinced that it will never let me down when I need it. Since purchasing the ARB Twin Motor High Performance Compressor, I do not hesitate at all to air down my tires prior to adventuring in my 4×4!
This is a great product, well built, sturdy, and with plenty of capacity to service the tires on everything from our bikes, to our Jeep Wrangler’s 35″ off-road tires, to the Michelin truck tires on our 45′ motor home.
The dual compressor system, along with the pressurized tank and the cooling fan keep the unit running quietly, at a high flow rate, and without the intense heat build up that we experienced with our prior Viair system.
Went to an offroad park, and after a day of trails over rocks and mud, hooked the compressor up to my Bronco’s battery and aired-up for the drive home. It was great – only a few minutes to get a 35″ MT tire back up to highway pressure. I originally wanted a compressor that installed on-board, but I can see circumstances where it might be a bit of wait to be able to get my rig parked next to a friend’s. Though a bit heavy, I can just carry this compressor over to my friend’s rig without worrying about moving vehicles.
Pluses – inflation speed. Included air hose easily reaches all tires, including the spare (2-door ’23 Bronco)
Minuses – It is a bit heavy, but it’s worth it for the airflow. Small minus, the carry case isn’t big enough to hold the inline air-pressure gauge I bought separately.
So this thing might be a bit overpriced but I decided to get it instead of the more common $200-$300 dual compressor that is rebranded by a bunch of other companies such as MOAB, Thor’s lightning, Samout, All Top, Napa, etc. I will say that my friend has the cheaper compressor and it works just fine. It will actually inflate four 37″ tires faster than the ARB as it pushes more cfm. My reasons for purchasing the ARB are as follows:
– A bit lighter
– Smaller foot print
– 100% duty cycle (it will supposedly not burn out if you leave it running. The cheaper one says you should not use it for more than 30 minutes and let it cool off for about 30 minutes before using it again)
– Although I am not currently using it to it’s full potential, it allows for future expandability such as running air tools and making a good base for an on-board air system to run a CTIS, train horns, locker, air tools for trail side repairs (short use), etc (if I decide to go that route in the future).
As a side note, these compressors are mainly used to air up four tires at the same time after an off road session. I plan to expand my system and my friend does not, so he is good with the cheaper compressor without the air tank.
I wanted to test this new arb compressor,so i purposely dropped my 33″ tire to approximately 8.8 psi. In the video, it took me 2mins and 29 seconds to bring my tire up 45PSI!the compressor filled up the reservoir tank in 40 seconds,Man all i gotta say is this compressor is awesome!!! The only complaint i have is the power cables that connect to the battery are a little short, i might have to get a longer air hose in order to fill up my trailer connected to my truck. Glamis here i come!!!
A really nice high quality piece of equipment. Great for fast inflation of tires, rubber boats, small inflatable pools etc. I only wish 4 hoses were included to be able to inflate 4 tires at once. Inflation time depending on pressure is less than a minute and it connects to the vehicles battery with ease.
Received the portable “ARB (CKMTP12) 12V Twin Motor” compressor in two days and tried it out expecting a problem or two based on previous reviews. Well, I received a unit that does NOT have any of the issues in previous reviews. The quick connectors do NOT leak when lateral pressure is applied and I tried to make it leak – they all work just fine, nothing to replace. My existing hose plugs in just fine with no leaks, so, maybe ARB read the reviews and made some changes to what they use for connectors.
The fit and finish all looks professional / high quality to me but of course I have only used it once. Lines in case from compressor to tank are braided stainless steel which should last a long time.
The performance was great as it brought my 33 inch tire up from 15 lbs to 37 lbs in less than 2 minutes.
The downside is the price, its very pricy but I would buy again.
