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

- 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.
You're welcome. I'm excited that you watched the video for that long!!
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!
Holy cow why so much psi I also have a pw and I run 40/45
@@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?
Great, informative video! Nice drone shots too.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Great vid thank you
You're welcome - glad it was helpful
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.
Great video. I initially purchased just the air hose kit from Amazon to work with an air compressor that was portable, but it just wasn't pushing out enough air fast enough, so I really couldn't use the 4 hose system the way I intended to. Now I have the on-board ARB air compressor in my engine bay while using the 4 hose system by EZ Flate and it's working very well. I agree with you, you need that on-board air compressor when you're on the trail and you're in need of a quick air up or air down. I would probably recommend the portable one if you travel a lot, and want to have an emergency kit. It's never bad to have different protocols.
Question: for you: would you recommend the recoil system or the hyperflex system? I got the recoil version but kind of kicking myself. Thoughts?
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.
www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_MTWM10215C - Seems like a bargain. It doesn't have the pressure regulator built in, but otherwise it seems like a good choice.
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.
If anyone has an M18 FUEL compressor they can lend me, I'd be happy to do the comparison!
Nope not possible
Where was this filmed if you don’t mind me asking ?
In the Sierra foothills
What are the dimensions, and how many amps does it draw?
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.
😂😂😂 With a comment like that, I really don’t think you’re qualified to be making videos on this kinda stuff!🙄
@@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?
🤣🤣🤣 If u need to ask that question, then maybe you shouldn’t be making videos like this!🙄
@@user-cs5hd2vf6x OK - I appreciate you responding in a mature, informed manner. Your contribution was amazing and you're an asset to the off-road community. Keep up the good work!
