    12v compressor Hi-Volume

    Have the need for a hi-volume compressor for the work vehicle. Needs to be portable, only needs to pressurize to 140kPa/20psi

    ARB CKMTP12 = 174lpm no load & 138lpm loaded

    Piranha ACPRO = 160lpm

    What's other compressor are on the market to compare against??

    Like I said, never let me down. I've pumped up countless 35" tyres from as low as 15psi to 40psi. I'd say a couple of hundred!

    Saw a video on the website showing pumping monster truck tyres for 2hrs straight!

    12V AIR Compressor With Tank Heavy Duty Ideal FOR ON Board AIR Free 20pc ACC KIT | eBay


    I modified it for onboard air, the pump under the back seat and tank under the tray.

    pumps my 37x12.5R17 tyres up as fast as a garage compressor, tho the solenoid did **** itself last week.

    if you want the best look up 'oasis' , great milspec portable compressor but $1500

    The ARB one looks good apart from the welds on the mounts.

    I would have to concur, I have one of the Thumpers as well, but fitted to an on board air tank - the best $120 (delivered!) that I have ever spent. Previously I had an ARB one at 3x the price and it was slower and less reliable (pressure switch kept breaking). last week I did a strip down on the Thumper as I was fitting it to the on board system, and the durability of the internals are amazing! The only criticism is that the inlet air filter is rather inadequate if you are using it as intended, i.e. sitting on the ground next to the vehicle. I would fit a small inline fuel filter to it (as i did with my ARB one) to ensure a clean intake.

    Hi got one of these in my 6x6, it will run at 200 psi all day according to the specs. Dan Divine is the sole importer supplying the mining industry, they are either 12v or 24v Oasis air compressor. Not cheap at around $2000.00
