What happens when engineers get creative and bring hydraulic technology into the recovery space? Theres little doubt that the traditional farm jack is a handy piece of equipment to have when youre driving off road. You can use it to move your vehicle out of awkward situations, lifting vehicles to fill in voids beneath the tires or even as a bead breaker when you have to make a tire repair. But, as we all know, farm jacks can be dangerous. Theyre inherently unstable and there are countless YouTube videos of users getting injured from a rogue handle or getting their hands caught between the handle and the body of the jack. With this problem in mind, ARBs team of engineers was determined to come up with a better solution to the unsafe farm jack problem. The focus was to design a safer and easier mechanical jack while being lighter and more compact. Adding a new dimension to traditional techniques, the long-travel ARB JACK is backed by the unique power of hydraulic technology. Kicking into action when even the lightest force is applied to the handle, the hydraulics will smoothly jack the vehicle up at .5in increments with each downward maneuver. While in action, a black rubber body bumper shields the vehicle from risk of damage during the recovery. The easy-to-access red lowering lever ensures lowering the vehicle is achieved swiftly and safely thanks to the two-stage descent feature and safety stop. With the press of a lever, the user is able to adjust the lower speed between a slow or rapid descent. Carefully designed on the basis of matching ergonomic form with safe and reliable functionality, the handles high position and top pivot function provides users with ultimate control while preventing the need to uncomfortably kneel down to operate. Standing true to its adaptable character, JACK features an adjustable foot that can be rotated 360? via the shaft to match the angle of the terrain and reach a firm, stable connection between the base and ground.

Today, we supply and manufacture a complete selection of the most highly regarded 4WD accessories in the world. Unlike many 4x4 equipment suppliers that simply stock a collection of parts with a low cost, ‘one size fits all' mentality, ARB thoroughly researches and tests each product before releasing it to the 4x4 public. We consider many factors during this analysis, including specific vehicle characteristics, the conditions the product will work in, and the overall quality of the product itself. Take suspension systems for example. Many aftermarket 4x4 suspension kits ignore the obvious differences between varying vehicle suspension set-ups and driver requirements, offering instead an increased ride height and little else. ARB's Old Man Emu suspension division employs a very different approach. Typically our OME engineers will purchase the vehicle in question, test it in a variety of conditions to determine if and where improvements can be made, then develop a line of finely tuned, totally integrated suspension systems, each offering varying degrees of comfort, load carrying capability and control characteristics. When combined with our state-of-the-art manufacturing plants and a highly skilled workforce, this attention to detail is what sets ARB 4x4 equipment apart. So whether you're new to 4WDing and putting your first truck to the test, or a 4x4 veteran getting set for your next off road adventure, you can rely on ARB 4x4 Accessories… we won't let you down.
In 1975, Tony Brown, an experienced off-roader, set out for Cape York in his Land Rover Series I. However, he quickly discovered that the majority of his time was spent assisting other off-roaders who were experiencing difficulties along the way. When he wasn't fixing fragile roof racks that had been destroyed by the large loads that are characteristic of travel in the Outback, he was restoring bumpers and different handcrafted things that had gone apart in the harsh terrain. As Tony became more aware with the shortcomings of these items, the concept for his company to manufacture high-quality, long-lasting equipment that was designed exclusively for the harsh circumstances of the outback emerged. Tony immediately went to work at the family garage once he arrived back in Melbourne. His goods were supposed to be based on a mix of trustworthy raw materials and strong design ideas; they were supposed to be a simple solution to a common issue.
Tony's first attempt at creating custom-fabricated goods was a bumper for his personal Series I Land Rover. His wares were enthusiastically received as soon as they were introduced to the nascent 4x4 market. When bumpers were rudimentary home-made constructions at the time, Tony's goods demonstrated a level of durability and dependability that was unmatched on the road. Later that year, due to the overwhelming demand from his fellow off-roaders, he was able to relocate to a manufacturing facility that was one thousand square feet in size. It was at this time that ARB, an acronym for Anthony Ronald Brown, was established.
Today, ARB is the most successful business in Australia dedicated to the production and distribution of 4x4 components. What started out as the fabrication of bespoke roof racks and bumpers has now expanded to include side rails, rear bumpers, Old Man Emu Suspension, recovery gear, canopies, Air Locker® locking differentials, and a whole host of other minor things, ranging from air compressors to tire attachments.
The firm is well prepared to meet the requirements of all 4WD enthusiasts as it maintains offices in the majority of Australia's major towns and maintains over one hundred retailers throughout the country. A sizeable international presence has also been established as a direct result of the company's achievements. This presence includes offices in the United States of America, Thailand, and the Czech Republic, in addition to an export network that spans more than one hundred countries, including South Africa, Germany, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia.
ARB has never forgotten its modest roots. ARB continues to place a premium on quality, dependability, and practicality despite the fact that its products are used in some of the most extreme environments on the planet, including the Australian Outback. It doesn't matter whether you're going to play in Moab, traverse the Rubicon Trail, or simply go out to a favorite local area; you can count on ARB 4x4 Accessories to be your partner in adventure ever since the company was founded in 1975.
