Overview
The ARB 24-Volt High Output On-board Air Compressor, part number CKMA24, is a 24-volt air compressor from ARB 4×4 Accessories for 4×4 truck owners. ARB describes its 4×4 air compressors as useful for 4 wheeling, camping, fishing and hunting, and its line includes vehicle-mounted models as well as portable units.
This on-board model carries a universal fit label, so it is not built for one specific vehicle. Its high output rating and 24-volt design are the main points to check against your vehicle’s electrical system before you choose it.
Key features
- On-board design for mounting in the vehicle
- 24-volt electrical system
- High output rating, as named in the product title
- Part of the ARB line of 4×4 air compressors, which includes portable models
- Confirm Air Locker compatibility for your setup before relying on that function.
Running an on-board compressor
An on-board compressor works best when its run time is managed. Continuous operation generates heat in the motor and the housing, and that heat shortens the life of seals, brushes and bearings. Running the unit in short bursts and letting it cool between fills is the simplest way to protect it, especially on hot days or when inflating several tires in a row.
Power and airflow are the other concerns. The compressor draws current from the vehicle’s electrical system, so the circuit needs proper fusing and a clean, short wiring run. Hoses, fittings and the tank or manifold should be checked for leaks, because a small leak makes the compressor run longer and work harder than it needs to.
- Run the compressor in short intervals
- Let the unit cool between fills
- Inspect hoses and fittings for leaks

Vehicle fitment
This compressor carries a universal fit label and is not vehicle-specific, so no year, make, model or trim is assigned to it. Confirm that your vehicle’s electrical system is 24 volts and that it has room for an on-board mount before choosing it.
Installation notes
An on-board compressor draws power from the vehicle’s electrical system, so it should run from a fused circuit sized for the compressor, with its wiring routed away from moving parts. Have a qualified installer check any 24-volt wiring before the compressor is used.
What’s included
Check the mounting hardware and accessories you received against the installation steps before starting.
