Bushranger launches on board compressor kits

Australia's leading, Bushranger, has launched a new range of practical and adaptable heavy-duty vehicle mounted onboard compressor kits capable of providing up to 150psi of air pressure.

Bushranger, an off road and 4x4 equipment supplier, has launched two basic on board air kits, the 4WD on board kit, aimed particularly at off roaders and a commercial one, catering for tradesmen, plant operators, councils and heavy vehicle operators.

The 4WD on board kit comes with a 4.5 litre air tank, a 275c compressor, brass MPT fittings, high pressure hose, and an on-board air hook up kit and can supply up to 150psi.

It is ideal for fast tyre and air bag suspension inflation, as well as for use as an air blower to clean dust and other debris from radiators and other vital components.

The commercial on board air kit comes with a full scale, heavy-duty, 20 litre, 5-port air tank, and a 12V, 400c ViAir compressor, capable of supplying 72 litres a minute.

The kits come with a full kit of fittings, including an illuminated dash-mounted pressure gauge, 6.1m of airline, a 150psi pressure switch, a safety valve, wiring, gauges and mounting hardware.

The two basic kits can be optioned with various compressor sizes, pressure switches and matching components.

According to Bushranger national sales manager Evan Black, “They can really turn a work truck into a mobile workshop or give a 4WD added versatility in harsh conditions such as in the deserts of Central Australia where tyre deflation and inflation is often vital for negotiating difficult terrain.”

As a kit all components have been designed and tested to work in unison and meet all required Australian standards

They can operate in ambient temperatures up to 60 and as low as -55 and are equipped with thermal cut off switches for added safety and to protect the compressor from damage due to excessive heat.

The 400c ViAir compressor has a maximum duty cycle of 40 mins at 40 psi at an ambient temperature of 24 while the dry sump design of the compressor allows it to be mounted at any angle in the vehicle. It has been designed and built to comply to ISO9002 standards.

They are available from leading 4WD and automotive accessory outlets.
