Development - To ensure we meet your expectations, ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD, CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages, and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration, strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example, it is essential that the vehicle's crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan, Warn winches from the US' we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements. What's more, we're also constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve our business practices, from distribution to customer service. ARB is a Quality Endorsed Company, and wherever we can, we endeavor to 'raise the bar'.

Few 4x4 accessories offer as many advantages to off-roaders as readily available on-board air. Considered by 4x4 owners around the world to be a staple accessory for off road travel, an ARB 4x4 Air Compressor provides an immediate source of compressed air anywhere a 12 or 24 volt power source is available. Tires perform best when they are set at a pressure that is appropriate for the terrain. While highway use calls for a relatively high pressure rate, lowering your air pressure will dramatically improve your 4x4s traction in a range of off road environments. Compressed air allows you the freedom to adjust the tire inflation level of your truck to suit the conditions. An equally beneficial feature of on-board air is the ability to re-inflate tires that have been repaired - it is not unusual to get several punctures in one day when traveling in extreme off-road conditions. In this environment, the value of owning an air compressor is priceless. When coupled with good quality tire repair equipment, an ARB air compressor provides the off road traveler with independence and peace of mind. ARB 4x4 Air Compressors are individually leak tested, current draw tested and flow tested under load at the factory before packaging and come with a comprehensive 2 year warranty. And ARBs after-sales service is second to none with many of the compressor components readily available and easily sourced. Along with ARB Air Compressors, ARB also offers a range of tire accessories including tire deflators, tire inflators and tire repair kit. A perfect pairing with ARB Air Compressors.

History - The origins of ARB can be traced back to Australia's remote Top End, circa 1975. A region of vast distances and rugged terrain, it was fast becoming a Mecca for the nation's burgeoning 4WD community. However, the very environment that attracted 4 wheelers also wreaked havoc on their equipment when driving in extreme conditions, only the best 4x4 accessories will do. This was the conclusion drawn by Tony Brown during his travels at the time. While exploring the treasures of the Top End, the skills Tony gained from working on his Land Rover were regularly called on to mend damaged bull bars and broken roof racks. Bar work back then was crude, not at all suited to overland touring, and through this experience an idea was born high quality equipment that met the vigorous demands of 4WD owners. Upon returning to Melbourne, Tony put theory into practice via the family garage, where he sought to address the product deficiencies he'd encountered. His vision called for a combination of sound design principles and reliable raw materials' a simple solution to an endemic problem. The concept was embraced when it hit the fledgling 4x4 market, and ARB the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown was founded. Today, ARB is Australia's largest manufacturer and distributor of 4x4 accessories. We also have an international presence, with an office in the US and an export network that extends through more than 80 countries around the globe. Our philosophy, however, has never wavered from its original course quality, reliability and practicality above all else.
