The ARB ones are a significant step up in cost from the T-MAX

If it’s served you that well would you not buy the same again?

I would say they were good for the price vs age!
I would get one but it's the power supply issue that would be a pain a pain to sort out. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ And if You Love the Country, then we’re on the same side ~ I got’ love for Britain, I got’ British pride’. 🇬🇧 |

Rumor has it the current crop of T-max are not made like they used too...
Honestly I would like a hard mounted vehicle compressor as 99% of my requirements are within air hose reach of the vehicle and future proofing towards other ARB air reliant products. Whilst the current setup has worked I not one to change it up and was happy to put up with the whole dive under the seat to connect it. Now I have a chance to upgrade the setup and the performance and in light of future planned Overland trips It's time to make that happen Not to mention as a by product it'll make YT vid to boot.

I have never regretted splashing out on a twin portable ARB, it is almost as quick as a workshop airline to inflate a tyre.

I keep debating single vs twin ARB. Because I plan to use it between defender and work van, and for various trailers, I need the portable version, and can't quite stomach the cost of the twin portable!

I have the ARB twin and it is a fantastic piece of kit, expensive but will last a lifetime. I use it between my def and my works van so is always handy and if not needed is left secure at home.

Engine mounted for me. Ridiculous output - keeps cutting out (filled the tank) when running my 50A plasma and that's when the engine was just idling. Ed

I got sick and tired of replacing dead ARB compressors and went T-Max on the grounds that, if it lasts as long as any of the ARBs I'll be quids in. The T-Max has now lasted for 5 years, 2 years longer than the best ARB I had, and is still going strong. Would I buy ARB again ? Nope, overpriced, unreliable and cost more to repair than the T-Max cost new.
My T-Max is permanently plumbed in with a pressure switch (mounted on a dead ARB as it happens !), a reservoir cylinder and with an airline connector at each door. That said, the ARB compressor in our 90, in a MUCH dryer and cleaner environment, has now lasted 5 years but then it only gets used once every 6 months whereas the T-Max on my 100 inch is used for winch freespool, air locking diffs and airing up tyres at least once a month so does have a harder life as well as being a much damper and dirtier environment. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ |
