A 4WD air compressor is a must-take bit of kit
Travelling off-road lends itself to amazing experiences and adventures, but it also means you’ll need some essential items to keep you safe while you’re off the beaten path. One of those is a 4x4 air compressor.
At Midland 4WD Centre, we see many travellers hit the road without an air compressor, but if you’re off-roading on gravel or corrugation, or you intend to do four wheeling in an area when you may get bogged, a 4WD air compressor off-road is must-take item.
Why travel with an air compressor?
When travelling offroad, whether it’s for work or the lap of a lifetime, an air compressor is a necessity in your vehicle as help is often not easily accessible.
Not only are they essential for inflating tyres after airing down, but they can also pump up a flat tyre after you’ve repaired it. You can also use your 4WD air compressor for differential lockers, air tools and inflating floatation devices.
There are two ways to travel with an air compressor:
- Portable air compressor
This is a great solution if you want a portable option that you can take out of the vehicle and use in other circumstances. Airing up may take a little longer with a portable compressor.
- Vehicle mounted air compressor
The major benefit of a vehicle mounted 4×4 air compressor is that it’s easy and quick to use. If you want to access air anywhere, any time, a vehicle mounted solution may be the best fit for you. They can be stored in an area of your vehicle that isn’t used and with a tank and airlines, it’s just a flick of a switch to air up.
