An ARB Air Locker ensures your 4WD just keeps going, no matter the incline, no matter the conditions. You won’t lose momentum – not even for a second. With just one push of a button, you’re back on track!

PROBLEM SOLVED

An ARB Air Locker solves the problem of drive being directed to a wheel that is off the ground or slipping. It replaces the factory differential centre and, when engaged, positively locks the diff to provide equal drive to opposing wheels. By directing the drive to where it’s needed, you get vastly improved traction, allowing challenging terrain to be approached with control and confidence.

Carefully Created

ARB designs and manufactures Air Lockers in-house, using state-of-the-art machinery with a large group of highly skilled and specialised engineers. Each individual piece is carefully constructed to exact precision and each product is extensively tested to ensure you can trust an ARB Air Locker in the harshest of off-road environments.

Benefits of an ARB Air Locker

  • Provides the confidence to drive more difficult off-road tracks
  • Facilitates a controlled descent
  • Air compressor can be used for tyre inflation
  • Manufactured in Australia to tough Australian conditions
  • Race proven technology
  • Fully supported for parts and service globally
  • Improved traction results in reduced track degradation
  • Less chance of panel and mechanical damage
  • Great for competition use

This is even better explained by ARB’s Chief Air Systems Engineer Daniel Bongard in the video.

If you’ve often wondered how Air Lockers compare to electric or auto lockers, what maintenance is required or whether you should install a front or rear locker first, press play!

NEW - Nissan Navara Air Locker

This exciting new Air Locker application replaces the front internals in the front differential for Nissan Navara NP300 2015+ fitted with 3.69 and up gear ratios.

In order to continually improve the product, our engineers are constantly trying to break Air Lockers. We even built a specialised test rig to allow us to place torques on the Air Locker far in excess of what’s possible in the field. In this static torque failure test, we used a high-performance Dana 44, 33 spline diff with the best axle shaft we could get our hands on to put the Air Locker to the ultimate test.

For total peace of mind, all ARB Air Lockers are backed by a comprehensive five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
