Pastycrimper Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm sure there's probably loads of topics on this but normally a new thread to a simple question yields answers quickly. My Dad has sold his tractor which had a very good engine driven compresssor for inflating the tractor tyres. Now this has gone, he recently bought a cheap 12V one which is absolute c**p - really slow but worst off seems to give up the ghost at 24psi. He asked me to ask on here as we figured all the serious off-roaders/expeditioners must use them in earnest. Any recommendations (UK based)?

ejparrott Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 T-Max gets very good reviews, short of fitting an onboard air system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Viair are another variant http://www.viaircorp.com/products.html in UK from http://www.mattsavage.co.uk/acatalog/compressors.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 T-Max single cylinder HD one, very very very good: http://www.devon4x4.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_new.tpl&product_id=314&category_id=1013267&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=14 Am planning on fitting it into my truck as part of onboard air system. 160l/min is incredible, and it also draws 40A when running!

BogMonster Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have the Britpart twin cylinder one, very good, only weakness on these is the on/off switches, but not hard to replace. Most of them are made in China with different badges on, not sure there is much to choose between them. Different world to the £10 Halfords cheapys.

Turbocharger Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 See my thread in Tools & Fab- TMax compressor is delivering plenty of air, though its been a ballache to get a recognised fitting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastycrimper Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks all! That's given plenty to occupy the ol man. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another vote for T Max here. I fitted a Viair on one or two previous vehicles and they were good but I think the T Max has an edge on them.
