When to choose an Onboard Air System over a Portable Compressor?

For Multiple Applications: Utilize one easy system with VERBAIR’s onboard air kit to operate numerous devices instantly. Rapidly air up large off-road tires to the proper PSI after a long day out on the trail. Easily signal warnings to other riders with the use of air horns, or power air lockers or air tools for the casual home mechanic.

Higher CFM Required for Air Tools: Onboard air systems are ideal for applications that demand higher "Cubic Feet per Minute" (CFM), a measurement of airflow that determines the rate at which a certain volume of air is needed to operate specific applications. Insufficient CFM can lead to interrupted or ineffective tool operation. Our dual VERBAIR compressors meet the requirements to run most air tools that require higher airflow (CFM) for your next project.

To Inflate Tires: Both an onboard air system or portable compressor can be used to maintain your tire pressure, or air up/down after off-roading.

Adequate PSI：Maintaining appropriate tire pressure is essential for drivers. Increased air pressure helps with traction while on the road, but lower tire pressure helps with traction off road.

Contact Area：Maximizing the surface area in contact with the ground is crucial for enhancing vehicle stability during off-road excursions.

Proper Inflation：A large safety concern is making sure that you always properly inflate your tires before getting back on the road. Underinflated tires can generate excessive heat due to friction and accelerate tire wear, ultimately increasing the risk of premature tire failure.

Quickly inflate large tires with a VERBAIR onboard system if you are looking for tire inflation and to power additional applications. Use a VERBAIR portable tire inflator if you are looking for tire inflation only.
