THE REQUIREMENT Many people believe that four-wheel drive and traction go hand in hand — you can ’ t have one without the other . However , your vehicle ’ s standard ( or open ) differential is designed to allow each wheel to turn independently , thus eliminating binding during turns . Off-road , this becomes a major burden as engine power will take the path of least resistance , which occurs at the wheels with little or no traction . Newer vehicles with limited-slip differentials may offer some improvement , but more often than not you ’ ll find the slipping is not ‘ limited ’ enough to maintain forward progress . Automatic locking differentials also have their disadvantages . Aside from being noisy when disengaging , they can also upset the on road driving characteristics of your vehicle .
THE SOLUTION Created to provide 100 % traction on demand , without sacrificing any of your vehicle ’ s highway driving performance , ARB Air Lockers ® employ a 12V or 24V air compressor designed to activate ( and deactivate ) a solid and durable locking mechanism inside the differential . This gives you the traction you need , when you need it , happening all at the flick of a switch , and all within the safety and comfort of the driver ’ s seat . The advantage of ARB Air Lockers ® lies in the pneumatically operated locking system , that when activated , prevents the differential gears from rotating and therefore prevents the axle shafts from turning independently of each other . With both wheels tied directly to the rotation of the ring gear , the vehicle maintains maximum possible traction at all times . When unlocked , it provides all the safety and predictability of a conventional ‘ open ’ differential .
In addition to providing outright improvements to a 4x4 ’ s off-road capabilities , an Air Locker ®
offers significant environmental benefits . An Air Locker ® equipped vehicle can be driven in a slower , safer , and more controlled manner , greatly reducing the likelihood of vehicle damage and environmental impact .
RANGE & INSTALLATION Air Lockers ® are currently available in over 100 configurations to suit a wide range of 4x4 vehicles from around the world , and can be installed in both the front and rear axles . Installation should be performed by a qualified differential technician to ensure optimal performance . ARB also offers three compressor models suitable for Air Locker ® operation , two of which can also be used to inflate tires and other equipment .
For total peace of mind , all ARB Air Lockers ® are backed by a comprehensive , five-year , unlimited mile warranty .
