Oricom AIR20 Portable Air Compressor with Backlit Digital Display

Compact single-cylinder performance with integrated digital control for efficient portable inflation

The Oricom AIR20 Portable Air Compressor delivers 70 litres per minute airflow through a 40mm bore single-cylinder design, providing reliable inflation capability for 4WD tyres, touring applications, and general vehicle maintenance. This portable 12V compressor handles beach recovery, sand track transitions, and recreational offroad pressure adjustments with a compact 5.8kg package that stores in the included carry bag.

Maximum pressure reaches 200 PSI with 150 PSI working pressure, suitable for standard passenger vehicles and light 4WD applications. The integrated backlit digital pressure gauge displays real-time pressure readings and provides automatic shut-off when the target pressure is reached, eliminating manual monitoring during inflation. An automatic pressure switch activates between 120-150 PSI, while thermal protection shuts down at 115°C to prevent motor damage during extended use. The 7.5-metre hose with NPT quarter-inch quick-connect provides extended reach across vehicle widths, and the 3-metre power cable with battery clamps connects directly to your battery for reliable 32-amp current delivery.

The 30-minute duty cycle with 30-minute rest period suits typical four-tyre inflation sequences during offroad pressure adjustments. The system includes three inflation nozzles for versatile applications and a washable air filter for ongoing maintenance. Meeting Australian safety standards with a three-year warranty, this compressor balances portability with practical inflation capability.

Features & Benefits

Integrated Backlit Digital Display — Built-in digital gauge with backlight allows accurate pressure monitoring in low-light conditions, automatically stopping inflation when target pressure is reached without manual intervention.

70 L/min Maximum Airflow — Single-cylinder design delivers sufficient volume for standard 4WD and passenger vehicle tyres, inflating typical 33-inch tyres from 18 PSI to 32 PSI in approximately 5-7 minutes per tyre.

Extended 7.5-Metre Hose — Longest hose in the Oricom compressor range reaches all four tyres on most vehicles without repositioning, plus provides extended reach for dual-axle trailer applications.

30-Minute Duty Cycle — Balanced 30-minute operation and 30-minute rest cycle handles complete four-tyre inflation from beach or sand pressures back to highway specifications with minimal waiting.

200 PSI Maximum Pressure — Higher pressure capability compared to entry-level compressors handles standard tyre inflation plus higher-pressure applications like sports equipment or specialty inflation tasks.

Compact 5.8kg Package — Lightest in the Oricom compressor lineup while maintaining capability for typical touring and recreational offroad inflation, maximizing storage convenience and portability.

Washable Air Filter — Reusable filter element reduces ongoing maintenance costs and prevents airborne dust ingress in harsh Australian conditions, maintaining compressor efficiency over extended service life.

Thermal Protection at 115°C — Automatic overheat shutdown protects motor during high ambient temperatures or extended duty cycles, preventing permanent damage and ensuring longevity in outback conditions.

Direct Battery Connection — 3-metre cable with battery clamps provides reliable power delivery for 32-amp current draw, bypassing cigarette lighter socket limitations inadequate for compressor loads.

Versatile Inflation Nozzles — Three included nozzles expand functionality beyond tyre inflation to sports balls, inflatable camping gear, and recreational equipment for multi-purpose touring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the automatic shut-off work on the digital display?

Set your target pressure using the integrated digital gauge before starting inflation. The gauge monitors pressure continuously and automatically stops the compressor when the target is reached, preventing over-inflation without manual monitoring.

Can I use this compressor at night or in low-light conditions?

Yes, the digital display features backlighting for visibility in low-light conditions, making it suitable for roadside inflation after dark or early morning departures when ambient light is limited.

Will the 30-minute duty cycle handle all four tyres?

The 30-minute duty cycle typically handles sequential inflation of four standard tyres from typical beach pressures (18-20 PSI) to highway pressures (32-36 PSI), though larger tyres or lower starting pressures may approach the duty limit.

What are the three inflation nozzles used for?

The included nozzles adapt the compressor for inflating sports balls, camping mattresses, inflatable boats, and other recreational equipment beyond vehicle tyre applications, expanding versatility for touring use.

Can I connect this to my cigarette lighter socket?

No, the AIR20 draws 32 amps under load, exceeding typical 10-15 amp cigarette lighter circuit ratings. The included 3m cable with battery clamps is designed for direct battery connection only.
