Will the CKMTA12 run my ARB Air Lockers and inflate my tires? Yes. The CKMTA12 is designed for both tire inflation and Air Locker activation when used with the appropriate ARB accessories, making it a true all-in-one on-board air source for your rig.
Can I run air tools with this compressor? Yes, when paired with an air tank. On its own the CKMTA12 is built for tire inflation and locker activation, but add the optional 4L air tank and it can power a wide range of air tools out on the trail or in camp.
What does a 100% duty cycle mean for me? It means the compressor is built to run continuously without needing to cool down between uses. Whether you're airing up all four tires back-to-back or running it for an extended stretch, it can keep working without overheating.
Is it weather and dust resistant? Yes. The CKMTA12 is sealed against moisture and dust and features an IP55-rated brushless fan that cools the electronics, motors, and cylinder heads, so it holds up in tough trail and backcountry conditions.
Does it come with everything needed to run, or do I need extra parts? The compressor includes an integrated pressure switch, relays, and an over-pressure safety valve, so the core unit is ready to install. An air tank is optional and only needed if you plan to run air tools.
Is this the same as the new Brushless Twin (CKBLTA12)? No. The CKMTA12 is ARB's proven twin-motor compressor, while the Brushless CKBLTA12 is the newer model with roughly 50% more air output and active cooling. The CKMTA12 remains an excellent, more affordable choice for fast tire inflation and locker activation.
What kind of warranty does it come with? Every ARB CKMTA12 is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, plus the Recon Recovery 1-Year Price Lock Guarantee
3-Year Warranty
