In case anyone is interested, I tested this on my car and was pleased with the results. I used this to pump up 4 x 275/70r17 from 15psi to 38psi in 3:25 (not including setup). We also used it to reseat a bead on 33” tyre using an ARB single hose. To top it off, I used it to clean the inside of my car with the single hose after the trip. Fantastic unit, and the best portable compressor I have used.
Sure was an impressive unit! Couldn't believe how fast it got those slightly smaller tyres inflated! Will definitely help our inflation time on the side of the track for this years trip! Can't wait!
As per usual you smashed it out of the ballpark, so informative, so much effort incorporated just to keep us informed on alternative options available, offering up definitive pros & cons. It's not a sales pitch feeding endless pros to get the sale. You even included the link in description for the quadhose review, as yes, I went back for clarification on inflating rears tyres to higher PSI. The combination of Morrflate compressor & quadhoses is now really appealing. It should be on anyones list for their setup. Internally mount compressor with access to control panel (con) & then carry quadhose in dirty items bag on rear of vehicle (pro). I believe I'll still be utilising my ICheck tyre deflators though as I'm truly impressed by the speed deflation occurs with them, set & forget also. Thanks, Wealie.
Thanks mate, appreciated as always 🙏 This is certainly a good option for those wanting a new portable setup or for those starting out as it includes everything you need to both inflate and deflate in one package. The remote panel is a great idea and hopefully something that Morrflate would look to add in a generation 3 down the track? I also use the iCheck deflators from time to time as these are set to my sand pressures, for everything else its the quad tyre kit 👍
I’ve had the arb twin, the max trax and the Kings Thumper. I might just invest in this one and give my Kings one away as I did the max trax, the arb worked well but it was mounted in the vehicle when I sold it. I like portability. Great review.
Thanks mate. Sounds like you've had a bit of experience with compressors! The portability has a host of advantages (and considerations) which suit some setup perfectly, particularly if you are towing, don't have to add even more hoses!
@@XploringOz yeah I’ve had some exposure…I’d probably have more if I aired down more frequently. Especially when beach driving…I’m a sucker for getting bogged just because I love the challenge of getting out. 😂😂
Another professional presentation, Nathan. Before the last Kimberley trip I purchased an Arb twin .If I had seen this compressor, I would have changed my mind. I noticed one of your tyres seemed to have side wall damage.
Thanks mate 🙏 It's definitely pushing other large brands to innovate something a little more advanced! Yes, these MT's have seen some rough terrain in the last 30000km. I've got a longer term review on the cards for the future 👍
Great review mate! I haven't tried the compressor but the moreflate hose set up is the bomb. My knees love it over the single wheel set up i used to run.
Very nice video, ty. According to Sean at MORRflate, "Hard mounting our compressors does void the warranty if you end up modifying the electronics, even cutting the alligator clamps will void the warranty."
The other benefit for the arb you didn’t mention is lockers. Can that psi pro work with arb lockers? I have the arb twin with my lockers and the tyre inflation kit.
For sure, this is very true and something that I didn't think about (being someone who hasn't used airlocks in many years). Definitely a consideration though 👍
@@ed1pk it's actually just the digital screen on the front that allows you to set it and forget it while it inflates. got my answer from morrflate. kind of embarrassed that I didn't pick up on that one myself.
Another great video! While you know it's punched out of the same factory that makes the Thumper Max at a higher specifications level, more portable air compressors should be equipped with auto pressure cutouts, it's 2024! Does it allow auto deflation as well if the tyre pressure is over the set pressure? Though curious that you experienced a ≈ 9% decrease in performace with the tank inflated before starting the test. I'm trying to get into the habit of multiple (at least 3) samples of each data point so you can look at averages and standard deviation for more reliability in the data. Anyway keep up the great work mate.
Seems it is time to get the Morrflate PSI Pro, Tuff Terrain V4, Thumper Max and ARB on the test bench in the LockyourHubs Lair. Interest too regarding how/if the unit manages over-pressure.
@@Mouldyturnip75 I would think there wouldn't be an additional over pressure sensor with the auto pressure sensor relied on to do double duty. Only would be an issue if you were hard mounting and wanting to run a tank as well, you would need to plumb in before the auto mechanism to fill the tank.
Thanks mate, appreciate that comment coming from someone who is the king of testing! The auto cut off is certainly a feature that more manufacturers should include as standard, I agree. Very surprised about the ARB speed in that 2nd test. My thoughts are heat. It was a very hot day, about 39 degrees in the sun (really put these units to the test). Given that it was running for 15m solid, I reckon there may have been some down time between those cylinders... 🤔 I'll look to get 3 samples in future tests, I can certainly see the benefit there 👍
I'm reminded of a general life rule of thumb. YAGNE. You ain't gonna need it. Air up and down from a single, reliable installed compressor with a single hose is just fine. Look at all the fittings on the MORRFlate system. Lots of potential failure points. And electronics in a compressor for serious field work? Yuck. No thank you. On and off switch is all you really need. There are so many toys in this industry, and I'm fine with it. But an installed ARB twin (or any other simple compressor) is always there when you need it, and a simple air down / up kit is so light, simple, and bombproof... this all strikes me as fixing something that ain't broke. Having said all that, if you enjoy your toys, go play. It's your build, do what you want. I'm just not convinced that 2-3 minutes a few times per trip is worth the complexity and weight.
Nice review. I’m sold on this for my Jeep JLU. I pull a small two wheeled teardrop camper. Therefore, I’ll only be airing up two tires at a time often. Would you still recommend this setup?
Absolutely you could. The compressor wouldn't have much (if any) back pressure when connected to a minimum of 2 tyres. Further, the quad tyre inflation kit connections are normally closed, which means you could have only 2 connected and the other two would be closed 👍 It would certainly inflate them very quickly!
Try buying parts to rebuild your PSI Pro in Most Towns in Australia Like you can with the ARB, No matter what the PSI Pro is a 5 to $800.00 Throw Away Compressor, Where the ARBs will last a lot longer and you can buy parts to fix them if needed with some ARB's I know of having lasted over 20 years without a rebuild, The PSI Pro is Good but how long it lasts is down to a lot of luck.
Great work Nathan as always. Always good to know what the latest and greatest stuff is particularly if you're just starting your toy collection or you're up for a replacement. From your testing the machine is very good so the only question now is longevity which may be excellent as well, only time and use will tell. Cheers PeterJ 😎👍
Thanks mate. I'm lucky to find these opportunities to play around with some of the new products on the market and I do genuinely find it fascinating to see just how far things have come, especially when you compare it to the very basic single compressors I started with just plugged into a cig socket. You're right though, longevity and reliability is now the new test, no doubt my father in law will help me out there! 👍
I think the couple of minute difference between the two isn’t all that insane because are people racing with these? No. I ordered the morrflate because I can set and forget while I do other shit instead of standing there waiting while deflating or inflating. Just a convenience thing in all honesty. Still both brands are amazing. I think morrflate is much more specialized with this side of the off-road industry and constantly improving their products
I think people are starting to realise this in this day and age, but they still capitalise on market domination, particularly for those just entering the 4WD/touring world.
Absolutely, Same CFM as the Thumper max 10.6 CFM = 300 L/min and same max 90A draw. The Thumper Max is $99 as I type so we can actually buy 5 for the same price. OK so the Morriflate has a digital panel...is that worth the additional $400 bucks?@@michaelhermans4753
I got what I needed halfway through the video, but stayed because of how detailed and good of a speaker you are.

Once again, another great video once my setup has been sold and I do have another one I will definitely be buying one of these compresses thanks again
Thanks mate, good to hear it was of value. After spending some time with friends who have these compressors, they sure are quick!
Nice review. I’m sold on this for my Jeep JLU. I pull a small two wheeled teardrop camper. Therefore, I’ll only be airing up two tires at a time often. Would you still recommend this setup?
Awesome, yes this would very well for a pair of wheels at the same time. The compressor would be operating very efficiently 👍
Discount Code doesn't work anymore?
Hey mate could you use this system to inflate a single axle van?
Absolutely you could. The compressor wouldn't have much (if any) back pressure when connected to a minimum of 2 tyres. Further, the quad tyre inflation kit connections are normally closed, which means you could have only 2 connected and the other two would be closed 👍

This is the best compressor comparison video ever. Great job! I wonder about longevity and warranty.
Where would you buy one of these mate?
Essential 4X4 are the official distributer in Aus 👍

Won’t be long until Kings have a version of this
Looks like a Kings knock off
Its true. They already have their line of compressors, however these are rated much better in review and specs. 👍
really dont get why small stuff from ARB is so popular still
I think people are starting to realise this in this day and age, but they still capitalise on market domination, particularly for those just entering the 4WD/touring world.
Looking forward to getting mine back 😁 (The Father Inlaw)
I believe you! Awesome unit now that we've had some time to test it out on your setup!
Nice one cobber..
Cheers mate 👍
Same as the Kings Thumper only green and four times the price.
May have a similar housing, however the components and specifications don't match. I know which one I would choose!
It would be cheaper to paint your kings thumper green 😀
Absolutely, Same CFM as the Thumper max 10.6 CFM = 300 L/min and same max 90A draw. The Thumper Max is $99 as I type so we can actually buy 5 for the same price. OK so the Morriflate has a digital panel...is that worth the additional $400 bucks?@@michaelhermans4753
I'm not sure 2 minutes is worth changing.... thats what she said
haha, no maybe not for those with an existing system, however those getting into the market, or replacing broken product would certainly benefit 👍
Nope NOT the quickest
