“The origins of ARB go back to 1975, when
company founder, Tony Brown, was inspired by
a 4WDing trip through the top end of Australia.
Back then, 4WDers relied on home made or ill
fitting equipment that was not designed for
extensive Outback expeditions. Endless
corrugated roads, extreme temperatures, and the
heavy loads carried by Australian travelers were
extremely punishing on vehicles that regularly
tackled these kinds of conditions.
ARB Kakadu Rooftop Tent
We also have seen numerous customers as well
as first hand stories of people who have had
vehicle accidents- in which their ARB Bumpers
have saved them from severe physical harm. Not
only do they look and function great, they are
tested in numerous ways to offer the highest
levels of safety.
Damaged bull bars and broken roof racks
ensured Tony’s expertise was regularly called
on, and through this experience an idea was born
– high quality, durable equipment that would
meet the vigorous demands of 4WD owners.
Upon his return to Melbourne, Tony put theory
into practice, and began working in the family
garage to address some of the product
deficiencies he’d encountered on his trip. It was
exactly what Australian 4WDers had been
waiting for, and ARB, the initials of Anthony
Ronald Brown, was founded.
Today, ARB is Australia’s largest manufacturer
and distributor of 4x4 accessories. They also
have an international presence, with an office in
the USA and an export network that extends
through more than 100 countries around the
globe. Their philosophy, however, has never
wavered from its original course – quality,
reliability and practicality above all else." ARB.com.au

ARB also has their own line of suspension
components under the Old Man Emu brand. Unlike most suspension manufacturers, each
suspension kit is tailored to the weight and
carrying capacity of each vehicle. ARB and Old
Man Emu spends countless hours testing their
Low Range Off-Road is proud to be a
warehouse distributor for ARB. Not only does
Low Range stock a large amount of ARB
Product, we offer customer support for their
whole line of Air Lockers, Roof Racks,
Bumpers, Freezer Fridges, Recovery Items and
Accessories. Low Range Offers free shipping
on all ARB and Old Man Emu Products in the
continental USA as well, making us the most
affordable location for all your ARB needs.
Many Low Range Off-Road employees have
spent endless nights in their ARB Rooftop Tents.
One employee spent more days in his tent one
year than his own bed at home. We feel that this
is a testament to the quality and comfort of their
tents. They not only are easy to set up, they are
comfortable.

ARB is also a front runner on freezer fridge
technology. They have full time engineers
that work only on Freezer Fridge technology. Since ARB Freezer fridges work on both 12V
and 120V AC power, we have had our fridge
in our showroom on for years at a constant
thermostatically controlled temperature. We
also take it along with us on road trips, fill it
up with drinks and take it in our hotels for
those that do not have a complementary fridge
- all ice free and no mess.

The compressors that ARB puts out are a
work of art as well. Take for instance the
ARB CKMTA Twin Compressor. It has the
highest air flow rate of any 12V compressor
of its size on the market at 174LPM
[6.16CFM]. It also has 100% duty cycle under
room temperature conditions and the motors
are internally thermal protected against
extreme temperature damage. Each unit is
over-pressure safety valve equipped. With all
of this being said, there is no other
compressor like it. To put the cherry on top,
they are all individually dyno tested in
Australia. You can't say that about any other
12V or 24V compressor.

Every ARB Product we have had makes us
wake up with a smile. They are top notch, the
cat's meow, the icing on the cake. You won't
be disappointed with anything from ARB. Thanks ARB for giving us the best!
