The Compressor Range Explained

ARB's own walk through of how the single and twin, portable and on-board compressors differ, and which job each one is actually for. Useful if you are still choosing between them rather than committed to this one.

Why A Premium ARB Compressor

ARB walks through what separates its compressor line from bargain units: sealed motors, real duty cycle ratings, serviceable filters and the electrical kit that comes standard. If you are comparing this against a parts store special, it is the honest comparison from the people who build it.

Air Lockers And Onboard Air

The original job of an ARB compressor: feeding ARB Air Lockers. ARB explains how the compressor and the locker system work together and why on-board air changes how you drive difficult terrain. Worth three minutes if lockers are anywhere in your build plan, because this compressor is already the right air source for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on specs, fit and support

What is different from the CKMA12?

System voltage and current draw. The air output, the pressure, the duty cycle, the sealing and the physical size are identical. This one runs on 24 V and pulls roughly half the current for the same air.

Will it fit my truck?

It is not a vehicle specific part. It bolts to any flat surface through four holes you drill with the supplied backing plate as a template, on a 24 V vehicle, and needs roughly an 8" x 4" footprint away from exhaust heat and direct water spray.

How fast will it air up my tires?

ARB rates it at 3.08 CFM free flow and 2.34 CFM at 29 psi. On a 33" tire that is around two and a half minutes from 15 to 30 psi, and about 10 to 12 minutes for a full four tire air up, comfortably inside the 30 minute duty rating.

Can it run air tools?

It holds 100 psi and will run small air tools intermittently, but it has no tank of its own. For sustained tool use, pair it with an air tank or step up to the twin motor CKMTA24. Its core jobs are tires and Air Lockers.

Is the wiring included?

Yes, completely: loom, relay, illuminated ARB rocker switch, pressure switch and terminals. You supply the mounting location and the drill.

Why is there no installation video?

Because ARB has not made one. We checked every product page and both official ARB channels, and no compressor installation film exists. Rather than showing you a fitting video for a different product, the tab is empty and the installation guide is in Resources.

We really liked the ARB

We really liked the ARB twin motor air compressor, it looks well built and instructions are quite thorough. I would have preferred to have the switch wire loom offered with on/off switch separate from the air locker solenoid(s) switch part of loom to simplify wiring work. We have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with electronic locking differentials and won’t be using air activated lockers , and plan to unbundle the air locker switch/ solenoid part of loom. Altogether great product!

I purchased this compressor to install in my 1953 M38 Willys Jeep. I go to the beach a lot, so I need it to air up, and I also need it to run a water pump I use to water remote gardens. It works great. Installation was a challenge, but when I had a problem and was stumped, their support line got me back on track. I highly recommend ARB and their Air Compressors. Now, maybe you could make some cool stuff for all of the old Willys Jeeps out there. Thanks

Yeah great product, I’ll probably end up upgrading to the dual compressor but for now this is great. If y’all were to offer your own installation videos that would perfect the install process, had to spend a decent bit of time pulling apart the harness and referencing the wiring diagram to know what’s what. After understanding the wiring the trimming of unused wires and installation as well as hooking up to my switch panel was very straight forward. Great product great performance does all I need for now, only thing is that wiring is not the clearest on hookup/trimming.

The twin air compress is a great addition to my 2023 jeep gladiator. I paired it to the Kraken trie inflation system and the pressure control upgrade kit. I’ve used it a couple of times to deflate and inflate all four of my tires at once. The compressor inflates all four 35” tires from 20 psi to 36 psi in under 10 minutes.

a work in progress. Installing

a work in progress. Installing the Bronco specific mount was quite a job. The instructions were crap. Found a good Youtube video to help. I didn't plan on getting a manifold. I just wanted to plug right into the compressor. The first time I had to fill my tires, the air hose (NOT ARB hose) melted and the connection blew apart on the second tire. I didn't realize how hot it got. So now I am planning to install the manifold to keep the hose cooler, but now I don't have the mounting bracket, so this should be an exercise in frustration. I think they could offer better descriptions of the product and more quick connect remote placement options. Still I'm sure it will be awesome once I get the bugs worked out. Also a small half gallon tank hidden under the truck would be great.

Not well written

Great compressor but has no instructions for using as on board for anything other than lockers. I have electric lockers and just wanted it for air (tools, tires and such) the wiring is not designed for it, the instructions are not, and nothing in the kit or the hose kit worked. Had to go to a hardware store to find and make fittings

I ordered the compressor kit for the 6G BRONCO which includes the compressor, reservoir, mounting brackets, wiring harnesses, and pump-up kit. They arrived in a variety of boxes, were very well packed and arrived in mint condition. The compressor and mounting bracket components appear to be of superb quality, finish, and seem very robust.

ARB Compressor

I tried a small portable air pump like most of you. After spending an hour to air up when I was in Georgia I knew I had to get something better. While there are faster pumps this still gets the job done in about 10 minutes. Also if you have a two door space is limited. Last week when I was in North Carolina and Tennessee I aired down several times and didn’t dread knowing I had to air back up.

ARB Single air compressor

Bought and installed this about a year ago. ( I still need to mount the air hose externally so I don’t have to open the hood each time I need to access) installation of the unit was pretty straightforward and easy to follow, The old Jack mount in my engine compartment was a great spot for me to just install on a flat surface. The unit itself can be altered and adjusted to fit pretty much anywhere. For me, this unit is working out great, I only need it on occasions where I don’t have access tour outside compressor. Fills my 33 inch tires up in about 1 to 3 minutes each depending on how low I dropped my air pressure. The unit does get very HOT when I have to use it for long periods of time. (if I needed this unit every time I went wheeling I would definitely get the twin) great unit, and I’m definitely not disappointed I bought it.

Great addition

Installed prior to Jamboree in Oct. Worked great to air up after the day on the trails. Wish I had purchased and installed sooner. Mounted under master cylinder on firewall of 2018 JL. Will air up all 4 tires in 5-10 minutes depending on how far deflated. Great piece of mind knowing you don't have to find a gas station or drag around another piece of equipment. Always with you and ready to go.

Makes the Day Better

I have used my ARB compressor several times after I installing this on my 2015 JK, . It works a lot better than the portable unit I used before. I am running 31" BFG KO2's and deflate my tires to 20 psi when I am off road. It only takes about two minutes to re-inflate each tire to 38 psi before I get back on pavement. Sure makes the off road ride a lot more enjoyable! Caution! The compressor end of the air hose gets very hot! Hot enough to burn.

Works great!

The compressor works as advertised. If you mount it under the hood just know that the heat from the engine will keep the compressor from working until the engine cools down. Under passenger seat is probably best.

Terrible in so many ways

I have several issues with this product. First, the location where you attach your air fitting is really small. There's no way to get a wrench in there to tighten the fitting down. I tried several fittings. I also bought the associated hose kit, and the fitting is way too large to tighten down with a wrench. Second, this compressor gets really hot. That in and of itself isn't an issue, except that the ARB hose can pop off its fitting when the pump gets too hot. I called ARB and they said not to use that hose attachment. They said they sell something else since the pump gets too hot and someone was burned by it. The guy I talked to at ARB recommended I NOT use their hose kit with this compressor. So, now I just wait long periods of time in between tire fills to allow the pump to cool. I really don't understand how other people are using this pump successfully.

It took me a while to do the wiring, but once it was all hooked up it ran perfectly. I am rolling on 35's and it aired one up from 15PSI to 40PSI in just under 2 minutes. It will definitely get some use. I may also add a air tank in the back to run small air tools.

So far so good…

I just installed on a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Eco-Diesel behind the front tire on driver side. So if you are using a bracket from Wayalife, it will not fit because the windshield washer storage is on the driver so you cannot use one of the bolts attachment. So the way I did it is drill another hole and did some little bending to make it work. I am still in the process of testing my air compressor but so far it runs perfectly and no leaks. I wish the wire is a little longer where you attach the wiring connector for power.

Plug and Play

My previous ARB compressor lasted almost 15 years so I felt fairly comfortable replacing it with the newer design and better quality aluminum housing. Change a few connections, install, and ready to lock in and tackle the hills. Check back in a couple years and I'll confirm my opinion on this compressor.
