How to choose a compressor and tyre gear

Letting tyres down for sand, gravel or rough tracks gives them a bigger footprint and a softer ride. A good compressor and gauge let you put the air back before you're back on the bitumen.

  1. Duty cycle

    The duty cycle is how long a compressor can run before it needs to rest. Across ARB's range it runs from 33% to 100%: higher suits bigger tyres and more than one vehicle.

  2. Portable or fitted

    A portable unit moves between vehicles. A fitted one is wired in and mounted, ready to use, and can also run air tools or lockers where it's built for it.

  3. A gauge you trust

    Set pressures with a good gauge, and check them cold. Adjust for how loaded the vehicle is.

  4. Air back up

    Reinflate to road pressures before you're back on sealed roads. Low pressures on bitumen wear and heat tyres.

Choosing Tyre and Repair Gear

Tyre pressure management is a simple, effective traction upgrade. Dropping pressures for sand, rock or corrugations improves grip and ride, and a quality deflator makes the job quick and repeatable. The other half is getting air back in, which is where a reliable compressor earns its keep.

Build a kit around your trips. A gauge and deflator cover day to day adjustments, a compressor handles reinflation after the tracks, and gear like the Bushranger X-Jack, a shovel and a wheel step round out longer remote trips. TJM, Bushranger, Mean Mother, RoadSafe and Prorack all feature in this range, so you can put together a setup that matches how far off the bitumen you go.

Common questions

Why let tyres down off-road?

Lower pressure lengthens the tyre's footprint, giving more grip and a smoother ride on soft or rough ground (BFGoodrich).

What pressure should I run?

It depends on your tyres, load and the surface. Start from your tyre and vehicle makers' guidance, set pressures cold, and adjust for load.

What is a compressor's duty cycle?

The share of time it can run before it needs to cool. A 100% duty cycle compressor can run continuously.

Can I drive on Victorian beaches?

Private vehicles are banned from Victorian beaches except under specific exemptions (Parks Victoria).
