PORTABLE ARB AIR
ARB Portable High Output Single Air Compressor V2
Portable 12V tire inflation in a rugged weather-resistant carry case.
The ARB CKMP12V2 Portable High Output Air Compressor is built for drivers who want dependable compressed air without permanently installing an onboard system.
Connect it to your vehicle, roll out the supplied 23 ft air hose and air your tires back up after the trail, beach or backroad. When the job is done, everything packs back into the impact-resistant carry case for clean, compact storage.
It is a practical fit for 4x4s, trucks, SUVs, camping vehicles and anyone who wants proven ARB air performance that can move from one vehicle to another.
WHY PORTABLE?
Serious Air Without a Permanent Installation
Not every vehicle needs a permanently mounted compressor.
The CKMP12V2 gives you ARB compressed-air capability in a self-contained kit that can be stored in the truck and moved between vehicles when needed.
That makes it especially useful for weekend 4x4s, multi-vehicle households, rental or fleet vehicles, and drivers who simply prefer keeping their compressor portable.
Built for Life Outside the Garage
Impact-Resistant Carry Case
The compressor is housed inside a rugged polypropylene case designed to protect the system during transport and outdoor use.
Stainless Steel Heat Shield
A stainless heat shield covers hot-touch areas around the compressor to help reduce accidental contact during and after operation.
23 ft High-Temperature Hose
The long air hose gives you useful reach around the vehicle without constantly moving the compressor.
Quick-Connect Tire Chuck
The supplied ARB quick-connect inflation chuck makes tire inflation fast and straightforward.
Thermal Protection
Internal thermal protection helps protect the compressor motor against damage from extreme operating temperatures.
Organized Storage
A neoprene storage pocket keeps the hose and inflation accessories together inside the case.
READY FOR THE TRAIL
Air Down. Explore. Air Back Up.
Reducing tire pressure can improve traction and ride quality on rough terrain, sand and backroads. Eventually, those tires still need to return to highway pressure.
The CKMP12V2 delivers 3.08 CFM at 0 PSI and 2.34 CFM at 29 PSI, giving you useful portable air capacity without permanently modifying your vehicle.
For regular recreational 4x4 use and tire inflation, it provides a practical balance between output, portability and storage size.
