If you are after a heavy duty portable compressor then, as the name suggests, the Ridge Ryder Ultimate Air compressor is the right compressor for you. The Ultimate pumps out compressed air at an astonishing 160LPM, which makes it the largest in our range of 12v air compressors. Where lesser compressors in the range may not cope, this compressor is also entirely suitable for inflating large 4x4 tyres.

How easy is it to use?

Once power is connected, the Ridge Ryder Ultimate Air Compressor can then run a 45 min duty cycle at 40 PSI. This means far less intervals to allow the compressor to refill. This pressure can also be monitored through a supplied 0-150PSI gauge. A variety of connections can be used depending on what purpose is intended, however a 5m rubber hose with a quick connector is included. A very important design inclusion on the Ultimate is the sand trap base which will stop the compressor from digging in to sand or soft dirt while in use. Once the use of the Ultimate is completed, it can be neatly stored away in the supplied heavy duty storage bag.

Where can you use it?

The Ridge Ryder Ultimate Air Compressor is the ideal compressor to tackle those slightly larger jobs such as four wheel drive tyres, or even for inflating smaller items at a much quicker rate. The beauty of this compress is despite its ample power, it is still powered by a 12V connection which increases its versatility drastically when a 240v connection is not an option. Perfect for the work ute, truck, caravan or campsite.

This Ridge Ryder Recovery kit is a great collection of must have tools for any off-road enthusiast with a recovery winch. First off, the snatch strap included is designed to use elastic properties to give greater assistance when recovering vehicles. When attached to appropriate recovery points between two vehicles, the vehicle performing the recovery will pull away this nylon webbed strap causing it to stretch much like a rubber band. The kinetic energy created from this stretch will then provide greater pulling power on the vehicle being recovered, while also reducing the likelihood of any vehicle damage being caused. The Ridge Ryder 11,000kg Snatch Strap is designed with larger four wheel drives in mind with an approximate 5,500kg safe working load.

An Equalizer strap is designed to equalize the weight from 2 recovery points to ensure even safe movement of the 4WD during the recovery. This can be used in a snatch strap or winching situation. The Ridge Ryder 8,000kg Equalizer Strap has an approximate 4,000kg safe working load. The Ridge Ryder Tree Trunk Protector has a safe working load of 3,250kg which makes it suitable for most 4wds and off-road vehicles. Unlike a snatch strap or recovery strap, a tree trunk protector is designed with polyester webbed strap to even the weight load to prevent damage to trees when winching.

This kit also includes an 4,500kg extension strap for winch cable extending, an 8,000kg Snatch block for doubling the winch capacity, 2 x 4,700kg bow shackles, a handy storage bag and must have leather gloves. Be sure to check out our 4WD recovery videos for safety tips and more information.
