Oricom AIR40 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor with Inflation Kit

Professional twin-cylinder performance for rapid tyre inflation and heavy-duty 4WD applications

The Oricom AIR40 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor delivers 130 litres per minute airflow through dual 40mm bore cylinders, providing the sustained high-volume output needed for large 4WD tyres, multiple simultaneous inflations, and extended duty cycles. This heavy-duty 12V compressor handles demanding offroad scenarios where rapid reinflation after beach driving, sand tracks, or rock crawling is critical to maintaining travel schedules.

The twin-cylinder configuration distributes heat and workload across two pistons, enabling a 45-minute continuous duty cycle before requiring a 20-minute rest period—significantly longer than single-cylinder alternatives. Maximum pressure reaches 300 PSI with 150 PSI working pressure, suitable for both standard passenger tyres and larger light truck applications. The system includes automatic pressure cut-out between 120-150 PSI, thermal protection shutting down at 115°C, and a washable air filter reducing maintenance requirements.

A 6-metre hose with NPT quarter-inch quick-connect fitting provides reach across dual-axle setups, while direct battery connection via included wiring loom delivers the 62-amp current draw required for peak performance. Compatible with Oricom's tyre inflator and deflator kits for comprehensive pressure management, this compressor meets Australian safety standards and carries a three-year warranty.

Features & Benefits

Twin-Cylinder Architecture — Dual 40mm cylinders distribute heat and mechanical stress, delivering sustained high airflow while extending operational lifespan compared to single-cylinder compressors under equivalent loads.

130 L/min Maximum Airflow — High-volume output inflates 35-inch 4WD tyres from 18 PSI to 36 PSI in under five minutes per tyre, critical when time-sensitive travel schedules follow beach or sand track deflation.

Extended 45-Minute Duty Cycle — Continuous operation for 45 minutes before mandatory rest enables complete reinflation of dual-axle trailer or caravan setups without mid-process cooling interruptions.

300 PSI Maximum Pressure Capability — Handles not only standard tyre inflation but also air locker activation, air suspension adjustments, and high-pressure accessories beyond typical compressor limits.

Automatic Pressure Cut-Out — Shuts off between 120-150 PSI, preventing over-inflation damage to tyres and allowing unattended operation when paired with inflation kits or manifold systems.

Thermal Protection at 115°C — Automatic overheat shutdown protects motor windings during extreme ambient temperatures or extended use, preventing permanent damage from thermal overload.

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

6-Metre Hose Reach — Extended hose length eliminates vehicle repositioning when inflating dual-axle caravans, trailers, or reaching across wide 4WD track widths during simultaneous multi-tyre inflation.

Direct Battery Connection — Heavy-duty wiring loom with 40A inline fuse connects directly to battery terminals, bypassing cigarette lighter sockets inadequate for 62-amp peak current draw.

NPT Quick-Connect Fitting — Standard quarter-inch NPT connection provides compatibility with Oricom inflator/deflator kits, tyre gauges, and aftermarket inflation accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run this compressor from my cigarette lighter socket?

No, the AIR40 draws 62 amps under load, far exceeding typical 10-15 amp cigarette lighter circuit ratings. Direct battery connection via the included wiring loom is required for safe operation.

What happens if I exceed the 45-minute duty cycle?

The thermal protection system automatically shuts down the compressor at 115°C to prevent motor damage. Allow 20 minutes cooling before resuming operation to avoid repeated thermal shutdowns.

Will this compressor work with my Oricom MTDI4 quad inflator kit?

Yes, the AIR40 is specifically noted as compatible with Oricom's tyre inflator and deflator systems via the NPT quarter-inch quick-connect fitting standard across their product range.

How often do I need to clean the air filter?

Filter cleaning frequency depends on operating environment. Dusty outback conditions may require monthly cleaning, while sealed-road use extends intervals to quarterly or longer. Visual inspection guides maintenance timing.

Can this compressor fill air suspension or activate air lockers?

Yes, the 300 PSI maximum pressure and 150 PSI working pressure accommodate both air suspension adjustments and air locker activation, though dedicated air tanks improve response times for lockers.
