 ARB Air LockerFour wheel driving can be frustrating. You know you have the vehicle to take on the most extreme terrains, yet you find that it baulks at the slightest of obstacles, quite often losing traction at the most inappropriate times, leaving you stranded & embarrassed.

Air Locker breaks new ground by providing an instant and full locking differential supplying 100% traction in the very worst terrain. Many types of traction devices have been available for years, but until the ARB Air Locking Differential, all were a compromise, performing well either off the road or on the road, but not on both. The Air Locking Differential provides normal differential action on the highway, maintaining safe, predictable handling. Once off the road, by simply pushing the buttons, the Air Locking Differentials lock the axles together providing 100% traction to all wheels allowing you to safely traverse even the most difficult terrain.

Without diff locks, when one wheel loses traction, all the driving torque transfers to that wheel leaving it spinning helplessly. With the ARB Air Locking differential activated you will simply drive out of these situations.

HOW THE AIR LOCKER WORKS

The ARB Air Locker is an air operated, driver controlled differential lock activated by pushing a dash mounted button.
When the dash mounted button is pushed, compressed air, delivered by the ARB 12 volt, on board air compressor is passed via a 12 volt solenoid down an air line into the differential housing. The air travels into the differential centre via a specially designed seal housing which seals against an extended bearing spigot.

Via air galleries, the compressed air enters the piston chamber and actuates the piston and clutch gear, moving the gear into the locked position. The clutch gear now locks the side gear to the differential housing instantly stopping any differential action. The diff is now 100% locked, and both axles will deliver 100% traction.

To disengage the differential the dash mounted switch is again pushed, which releases the compressed air via the solenoid and the piston springs return the piston to its original position. The differential is then fully open allowing full, standard differential action.

The ARB Air Locker only takes a split second to engage, making it the only, truly, driver controlled, differential locking system.


Designed and manufactured in Australia, the ARB Air Locking Differential patented design has proved ultra reliable, even under the most arduous conditions. The Air Locking Differential is certainly very strong, with all transmission components being cleverly designed and manufactured from the highest quality materials. The Air Locking Differential is machined and built at our Melbourne plant using the latest CNC equipment, and assembled under the guidelines of our stringent quality control system.

ARB manufactures over 80 different air activated locking differential models which suit over 250 different vehicles.

The ARB air locking differential system is supplied as a complete kit. The fast recovery air compressor features industrial grade control switches, air lines and fittings. The compressor also acts as an ideal accessory in its own right, perfect for inflating tyres, air beds and a host of other applications where compressed air is required.

Control switches mount neatly into the dash or console for easy, push button operation.

The ARB Air Locking Differential is a complete system. All components are designed & manufactured to ensure reliability, durability and ease of fitment

ARB Lighting

Wet & foul weather, night driving and the impending hazard of stray animals all demand the need for a clear view of the road. The powerful output of IPF lights guarantees clear visibility.

IPF lights have been extensively trialed in Australia where their extreme brightness, durability and excellent resistance to vibration and corrosion was highlighted.

From the inbuilt features to reduce driver fatigue to the engineering of mounts and the flawless design of lenses and reflectors, the quality IPF range is renowned for its brilliant optics and clear, bright light.

Other IPF features include weatherproof connectors, titanium ceramic coatings, cobalt impregnated bulbs, stainless steel hardware and the use of J beam technology.

So whether you’re after fog, driving or spot lights, round or rectangular models or just a replacement bulb you’re guaranteed quality and reliability with the IPF range of automotive lighting systems.

ARB / Old Man Emu Shocks

Vehicle suspension, especially that fitted to 4WDs, is complex to say the least. So many factors go towards determining the right solution, and no one "fix" is the answer to all vehicle models.

Old Man Emu is unique. The philosophies, technology & methods behind the development of each of our products combine to ensure you get the best components the world has to offer.

From humble beginnings in the tough world of off road racing in Australia, to now being respected world wide, OME takes a unique approach to the design, development, testing and support of our product range.

Many of our customers love toughing it off road, and this can vary from endless hours, even days, of flat, yet corrugated dirt roads to hardcore, deeply rutted, rock strewn off road tracks. At the other end of the spectrum there are the four wheel drive owners who have no intention of tackling anything remotely off road. Instead, they’re looking for dramatically increased ride comfort on the bitumen or to give them access to their weekend property or their favourite, out of the way fishing spot.

Benefits enjoyed by customers of Old Man Emu all around the world.

  • Superb, on road, ride comfort
  • Safer, more controlled handling
  • Increased levels of ride height to suit individual requirements
  • Substantially improved ground clearance for excellent off road traction
  • Elimination of rear end sag - for those owners who tow or carry a lot of weight
