ARB Air Lockers

A relentless commitment to research and design, the use of quality materials, and an uncompromising approach to manufacturing have all contributed to the Air Locker’s success in over 100 countries worldwide.

Designed and manufactured in Australia, ARB Air Lockers will enhance the traction of your 4×4 in just about any terrain, whether it’s rock, clay, gravel, sand, snow or mud.

Now with a state-of-the-art two piece design available right across the range, forged gears for the ultimate in strength and durability, and an industry-leading five year warranty, ARB Air Lockers are better built and better backed than ever before.

Forged Gears

Forged Pinion Gear - ARB Maroochydore

Strength, durability and resistance to fatigue in all Air Locker components is paramount. With phenomenal forces being applied to the side and pinion gears within the differential, ARB has invested heavily in the application of forged gears, typically found in heavy duty commercial, race and agricultural transmissions. When combined with ARB’s patented ‘timed gear’ design, the resulting strength of the whole assembly is amplified.

Two Piece Design

Housing this superior internal gear train in a two-piece case brings further benefits. Machining a case from two pieces instead of three results in a much higher dimensional accuracy of the finished assembly and has allowed ARB engineers to improve the design of other elements, resulting in a reduction of moving parts, increased strength and a more responsive activation.

Unrivalled Support

ARB 5 Year Warranty Badge

For total peace of mind, all ARB Air Lockers are backed by a comprehensive, five year, unlimited kilometre warranty. Coupled with ARB’s extensive domestic and international network of stores and distributors, you can be sure we’ll be there to support you in the unlikely event of an issue.

Diff Case

Fully machined, one-piece nodular iron diff carrier case offers the rigidy of a one-piece factory differential with twice the standard number of pinion gears to cope with the torque.

An ARB Air Locker Is Born

Ever wondered how a genuine ARB Air Locker is manufactured? Wonder no more as we put you inside the machines that make the world’s best 4×4 traction aid, right here at our global headquarters in Melbourne, Australia.

Competition Use

Of the many ARB products seen in off road competition, it’s the one you can’t see that makes the difference. ARB Air Lockers continue to dominate the world’s toughest off road events.

Used by some of the biggest names in off road competition, Air Lockers are just as at home plugging through mud or scaling near-vertical rock ledges as they are on your daily commute.

Competition drivers stake their reputations on quality and reliability. If they can trust Air Lockers to get them across the finish line then you can be sure they’ll survive anything you throw at them off road.

ARB Diff Breather Kit

When drivetrain assemblies such as your vehicle’s differentials, gearbox and transfer case heat up under normal operation, the air inside expands and increases pressure. To vent this additional pressure, most factory differentials have a one-way valve mounted to either the assembly itself, or on a short extension tube close by.

Unfortunately, when the drivetrain assembly cools down, the air inside contracts, creating a vacuum. When cooling occurs during a water crossing, these one-way valves can draw water into the system, potentially causing expensive damage.

The ARB Differential Breather Kit is designed to provide a high flow, zero back pressure, zero vacuum breather system to keep your drivetrain free of water. This is achieved with a central high flow air filter and manifold that will allow up to four drivetrain assemblies to be vented to one central location, positioned high enough to avoid water during crossings.
