Air Compressor Comparison - ARB CKMTA12 vs EZ Flate M.O.A.B. Auto Air

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

With the ARB CKMTA12 Twin Air Compressor being over $600 now, I test out the EZ Flate MOAB Auto Air to see how well it stacks up against the ARB Twin Compressor as a way to air up your tires on the trail. The EZ Flate is a portable air compressor, whereas the ARB has to be mounted in the vehicle. Each have their own benefits and hopefully this video will help you decide which one you want to chose to inflate your tires on your off-road or overland rig on the trail.

    I see a lot of air compressor comparisons where people stop at “how fast does it fill tires.” Thanks for including an explanation of at least some of the other differences.

    having a power wagon on 40s that run at 65 psi each i went with the ARB twin 2.5 years ago, i use it on mine then help others finish their tires, i use it for my air jack among many other things and have never had an issue so I am happy BUT if there was a less expensive option that had that reliability i am all game. ty for the video Sir!

    @@joeparga1070 the tires are warrantied but they have to be used at the recommended pressure, I had done the chalk test last set and the tire company bitched so with the new ones I’ve followed their rules and they have already replaced 3 tires for free 😂, I will run near 20-26 in the snow and stuff but on road they stay at the recommended 65 for their load rating

    Yep - those ARB compressors are work horses. I love mine! 65psi seems high to me too - your truck must ride like a rock. What brand tires are they?

    Well done sir. The MOAB (and others just like it) are an excellent solution. Half the price as the ARB too

    I’d be interested to compare some of the other portable compressors to see how they match up against the ez flate.

    You can virtually the same pump as the moab at napa online for 149. There was just a 20% off coupon and I got it for 119.

    I'd like to see your comparison to the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Tire Inflator and the M18 FUEL Air Compressor. According to the literature, the tire inflator can fill up a 33" tire in less than a minute.

    The EZ Flate draws 90 amps and has a dedicated, fused power cord. In the bag, with the single hose, it's 14" x9" 9". The hose bag is 14" x14" x3"

    The arb also uses half the power. Which is a massive consideration!

    I think this would only be important if you were running the compressor from a battery. With a vehicle alternator powering the compressor it’s unlikely to make a difference to most people.

    @@user-cs5hd2vf6x Andrew - I'm really curious to understand your position here. How does the power consumption come into consideration when you are airing up your tires? Unless you have a pass-trough valve in your hubs like the Mercedes G-Wagon 4x4 then it is highly unlikely that you would be airing up your tires while driving. And even if you were, you'd still be running the engine at that time. All compressors have quite a high amperage draw, so it's always advisable to be running your engine while using the compressor for an extended period of time so as not to put too much draw on your battery. According to the ARB website the CKMTA12 draws 68 amps at 12v, or 816 watts of power According to the EZ-Flate website the MOAB draws 90 amps at 12v, or 1080 watts of power. This means that the ARB uses about 28% less power than the EZ Flate. However, maybe I'm missing something? So, for the sake of myself and the other people here, can you please explain what you mean by "uses half the power" and why this would be important to a person who is airing up their tires while stationary and with their engine running?
