Tyres, Air & Compressors

When the bitumen ends and the corrugations begin, the right air setup is what keeps your 4WD moving and your tyres in good shape. Our Tyres, Air and Compressors range brings together the gear Australian touring, work and offroad drivers rely on to manage tyre pressures on the track, at camp and back in the shed. From rapid deflators and onboard compressors to bead seaters, wireless pressure monitors and workshop tyre-fitting tools, this collection covers airing down for sand and rock, airing back up for the drive home, and the heavier maintenance jobs that come with running your own rig across Australia.

Portable Inflators and Air Compressors

Airing back up quickly is where a good inflator earns its keep. The range spans compact 12V units like the Car Air Compressor 12V 150PSI and cordless rechargeable pumps with a 4000mAh battery, an LCD pressure gauge and a built-in LED light, through to heavier options such as the X-BULL 160PSI inflator with its aluminium die-cast body and the INGCO 160PSI auto-stop inflator. For serious offroaders, an onboard 150PSI compressor rated around 3.5CFM will run air lockers, air horns and air tools as well as tyres, while shed-based jobs suit a direct-drive electric unit like the UNIMAC 24L 2.0HP compressor with twin couplers.

Tyre Deflators and Pressure Monitoring

Letting air out fast makes a real difference to traction and ride on soft ground. Choose from rapid screw-on deflators with a built-in gauge, brass automatic deflators covering 0 to 60 PSI, and adjustable auto-stop valve kits preset between roughly 10 and 30 PSI so all four tyres reach the same pressure hands-free. To keep an eye on things on the move, a wireless Bluetooth tyre pressure monitoring system with app display and a digital 250PSI pressure gauge help you catch a slow leak before it becomes a problem on the highway.

Bead Seating and Tyre Fitting Tools

For those who handle their own tyre work, this collection includes manual hand tyre changers with a bead breaker, plus bead seater tanks, sometimes called bead blasters, in 8L, 9L and 20L capacities that deliver a rapid burst of air to seat stubborn beads. Air-line accessories such as moisture filter water traps and regulators keep your compressed air clean and dry, which protects air tools and any paint or coating work you run through the line.

Spring Compressors and Workshop Equipment

Beyond tyres, the range carries the workshop tools that go hand in hand with vehicle maintenance. Macpherson strut coil spring compressors, including heavy-duty 4500kg and hydraulic 4.5 tonne options, make suspension work safer, while overhead valve spring compressor kits suit petrol and diesel engine jobs. Round out your setup with an 80L mobile waste oil drainer for oil changes and 12V portable dual-zone fridge freezers in 35L, 45L and 55L sizes to keep food and drinks cold on any trip.

Choosing and Caring for Your Air Setup

Match the tool to the task: pick an inflator by how fast it moves air and whether it runs off 12V, a battery or mains power, and choose a compressor by tank size, CFM and duty cycle for the tools you plan to run. Fit a water trap ahead of air tools, drain compressor tanks after use, and store deflators and gauges somewhere clean so the seals and readings stay accurate through years of touring and workshop use.

  • Airing down four tyres fast: adjustable auto-stop deflator kit or rapid deflator with gauge
  • Airing up on the trail: 12V or rechargeable portable inflator
  • Running lockers, air horns and tools: onboard or 24L shed compressor
  • Seating a stubborn bead: 8L, 9L or 20L bead seater tank
  • Keeping air clean: moisture filter water trap and regulator

Tyres, Air & Compressors — FAQ

How do I choose the right air compressor for my 4WD?

Match the compressor to your tyre size and how quickly you want to reinflate after a day off-road. Larger 4WD and light truck tyres benefit from a higher output unit such as a heavy duty 12V compressor rated to 150 to 160 PSI, while smaller vehicles and occasional top-ups are well served by a portable inflator. Look for a built-in gauge, a duty cycle that suits back-to-back tyres, and fittings that connect easily to your valve stems.

What is the difference between a rapid deflator and an automatic screw-on deflator?

A rapid deflator with a gauge lets you remove the valve core and drop pressure quickly, then monitor and set your exact PSI by hand. Automatic screw-on deflators are preset or adjustable to a target pressure and stop on their own, so you can work across all four tyres at once. Choose rapid units for speed and control, or automatic kits when you want a hands-off, repeatable airing-down process.

Do I need a moisture filter or water trap with my compressor?

A moisture filter and water separator help keep water and oil out of your air line, which is useful for air tools, tyre work, and cleaner inflation. They mount inline between the compressor and your outlet and are handy in humid Australian conditions. Fitting one is a simple way to protect downstream equipment and keep your air supply drier.

Are tyre pressure monitoring systems worth adding to a touring setup?

A TPMS gives you live pressure and temperature readings so you can spot a slow leak or overheating tyre before it becomes a problem on remote tracks. Wireless and app-connected systems display each corner in real time and are especially reassuring when towing or running lower pressures off-road. They pair well with a quality gauge and compressor to round out your tyre management kit.

How accurate should my tyre pressure gauge be and how do I look after it?

Reliable pressure setting starts with a good gauge, so a digital unit reading up to 250 PSI with a clear display makes airing up and down far easier. Store gauges and deflators clean and dry, keep grit out of the valve fittings, and give them a gentle check against a known reference now and then. Treating your gauge as a precision tool helps keep your readings consistent over time.
