Choosing the Right On-Board Air Compressor System

Add an on-board air compressor sytem to inflate and deflate your air 

springs with the touch of a button — from inside or outside of the 
vehicle .

•  For convenient, on-the-go control of your air springs, add an Air Lift on-board air 

compressor system . 

•  Air Lift on-board air compressor systems eliminate the search for gas stations that have 

a working compressor, saving you time, energy and money . 

•  All systems include a compressor, controller and all parts needed for easy installation .

1.  Choose  single  or  dual  path  inflation  (see  

illustrations at right)

2 .  Choose wireless or analog control

•   Wireless: Control your air springs from 

inside or outside the vehicle . Easiest 
installation - no wires to the cab .

•   Analog: In-cab control of your air springs . 

Economically priced . 

3 .   Choose heavy or standard duty compressor

 • Standard duty: A standard duty compressor 

will work well for most customers who use 
their system on an intermittent basis . 

 • Heavy duty: For daily use, consider 

the  heavy  duty  compressor  -  it  inflates 

faster and more quietly than the standard 
compressor .

Visit www .airliftcompany .com for more detailed 
info on compressor systems .

 

Single path systems Two springs will 

inflate at the same time. Good for loads 

that  are  evenly  distributed  from  left-to-

right or front-to-back.

Dual path systems Air springs are 
controlled separately to allow for different 
air pressure from side-to-side. Perfect for 
uneven or top-heavy loads.
