RSSARB Portable Air Compressor
ARB’s recent release of class leading air compressors continues with the unveiling of the new portable air compressor. Like its on-board counterparts, the portable air compressor is designed and manufactured in Australia and features an ultra compact design and class leading high pressure airflow.
Affordable and engineered to suit any off road adventure, the compressor is perfect for the inflation of tyres and other inflatable recreational gear. The compressor comes mounted in a heavy duty case for easy carrying and storage, and is equipped with a six metre, high quality abrasion and heat resistant air hose with corrosion resistant one-handed (push-lock) quick connect couplings.
The design incorporates a hard-anodised cylinder bore and Teflon impregnated carbon fibre piston seal for reduced friction and maximum trouble free life. The components, constructed entirely of lightweight, high strength engineering grade materials, are fully sealed against moisture and dust, and the design incorporates a washable sintered bronze air filter element to further prevent dust and other contaminants from permeating the unit.
Rigorous design and testing over two and a half years has also resulted in a number of unique design features, including integral stop-valves which, together with the pressure switch and relay equipped electrical system, prevent operation of the compressor until it is connected to a tyre or other inflatable item.
This has the tri-fold benefit of saving power and energy while maintaining a lower operating temperature because the compressor is not running continually. The portable compressor also features reduced electromagnetic sound emissions to protect sensitive radio and navigation equipment when the compressor is in use.
The design incorporates a raft of safety features, including an over-pressure safety valve which allows excess air to escape should the pressure rise above a safe level. This feature also offers back-up protection for either a pressure switch failure or accidental connection to an external high pressure source. An illuminated isolating switch allows the automotive grade alligator clips to be attached to the battery terminal before turning the compressor on, protecting the user from hazardous sparking, and the heavy duty Maxi-Fuse ensures professional in-line circuit protection. The motor is also equipped with an automatic thermal cut-out switch to protect against damage caused by extreme temperatures.
The compressor was recently the winner of 4×4 Australia’s portable air compressor test, against a field of 15 competitors. Not only was the ARB compressor the fastest, but it performed the tyre inflation test in less than half the time of many of the others, offering customers unmatched performance and value.
New ARB Winch Bull Bar for Holden Rodeo
Owners of late model Rodeos can now benefit from superior vehicle protection with the release of a new ARB winch bull bar.
Featuring a revolutionary splayed upright design to complement the Rodeo’s unique looks, the winch bar also incorporates ARB’s acclaimed five fold design for enormous strength, SRS air bag compatibility, twin Hi-Lift jacking points and recessed indicators. The original recovery points are also retained, further increasing the bar’s versatility in off road situations.
Months of engineering were spent designing a bull bar that incorporates splayed uprights and wings to suit the Rodeo’s unique sloped headlights and front panels. The optimum fit also ensures the approach angle is most favourable for those heading off road. Suitable for both winch and non winch applications, the bar is finished a satin black powder coat and comes with the additional options of colour coding and provision for IPF driving lights.
ARB has a vast array of other accessories designed for the Rodeo, including rear step tow bars, canopies, sport lids, ARB Air Lockers, and Old Man Emu suspension systems. For further information and a full product list, please visit your nearest stockist or contact us.
