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.
