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.
