If you air down for off-road traction or need reliable compressed air for basic use, but your current compressor shuts down from heat, the ARB brushless unit is your answer. It runs cooler, so it won't cut out before all your tires are aired up.
Before you hit the trail, you air down your tires to get better traction over rock, sand, snow, or loose dirt. But when it's time to head home, you have to air them back up, and that's where a brushed compressor can let you down. If it overheats, it'll shut off, leaving you stuck with tires that aren't ready for the highway. A brushed motor uses friction to deliver power, which creates heat and wear. The brushless motor in this unit avoids that by using electronic control with no internal contact, so it's far less likely to stop working before you're done.
Even if they don't shut down, some compressors just crawl. You fill one tire, and then you're just standing there waiting before you can start the next one. That's fine if you have time to kill, but not when the sunlight's fading or your group's ready to head out. This unit moves fast enough that you can air everything back up and get behind the wheel without making everyone wait.
Installing a compressor usually means bolting the whole thing down and running wiring through tight spaces. With this compressor, you'll still need to bolt the bracket - that part hasn't changed. But once that's in, the compressor just clicks into place using the cam-lock clamp. That kind of access makes a big difference if you ever want to move the compressor to a second vehicle with its own bracket already installed or remove it if your vehicle needs to be serviced.
Compressors mounted under the hood or behind the bumper get exposed to rain, mud, salt, and road grime. Buildup like that can short a connection or cause internal damage if it makes its way into the housing. This unit's fully sealed to keep out water and debris, so you're not dealing with corrosion or electrical issues every time you go off-roading in bad weather.
The control module tracks temperature and electrical load while the compressor's running. If something starts to go wrong, it sends a signal to the status light built into the included rocker switch. That switch mounts inside your cab and uses a color-changing LED to show fault codes before the compressor shuts down. You get clear diagnostics instead of standing there wondering if it overheated or blew a fuse.

Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at our ARB single motor air onboard compressor kit. It's a brushless compressor motor, and it works at 29 PSI max air pressure, while giving you a max airflow of 4.59 CFMs. Now, it's 100% duty cycle, and it runs on 12 volts, and it draws a max amp draw of 45 amps. Now, this little, light duty compressor here is, again, brushless. It gives you 50% increase in output.
Compared to the current market lead, an ARB brush compressor means it's gonna inflate in less time and give you more time adventuring, and the act of cooling inside of this and the way it's been designed includes a fan in each motor assembly to achieve higher performance and longevity by keeping everything cooler longer. This will also maintain optimal performance and operations across all pressure and ambient temperature conditions that you have to go through, and it's gonna give you a live reporting status diagnostics via audio and visual alerts. Now, it does have a bracket here on the bottom that you would mount inside the vehicle, and then you could slide this on or off of the bracket if you need to remove it for whatever reason. You have a nice toggle switch for inside the cab, and then, of course, all your wiring, connections, adapters, everything you need along with the pressure switches and the adapters here for inflation and everything. So you have everything you need.
It's gonna give you everything you need as far as like the air that you need when you need it and the voltage and overload protection that's built in here, it's gonna protect the compressor itself and the power supply from damage. So if you have like a voltage spike, drop, fluctuations, over current, your motor stalls, maybe those kind of things, it's gonna be safe, and, again, that quick release mount that I was showing you on the bottom can be removed using that quick release camlock, making installing and removing it very, very simple. Now, the relay eliminated the inclusion of the brushless motor. So that means there's not any need for mounting any relays or reducing or further reducing the install time rather, because you don't have to worry about relays and stuff. So this, again, is an upgrade from their other motors that they have, by ARB, a great addition.
It's approximately about eight and five 16th inches long and about five and a half inches tall, about three and a half inches wide or thick. Well, folks, I think that's gonna wrap up, just a quick look at this ARB single motor. It's an air onboard compressor kit, brushless. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
