More Than Just A Horn Kit
All of the capabilities and uses for your horn kit or onboard air system, from tire inflation to air tools and suspension support.
With a name like HornBlasters, there is one thing people know we are good at: providing the loudest train horns you can buy. You already know a HornBlasters kit is loud. What you might not realize is that the onboard air system powering your horns can do much more than blow horns.
Quick takeaway: A horn kit with onboard air can become a mobile problem-solving system for tires, toys, air suspension, air tools, and roadside help.
Once you realize what your onboard air system can do, it is hard to imagine how you got by without it. From making sure your kid's raft is ready to go in time to powering your impact wrench, having 150 PSI of onboard air at your disposal turns your vehicle into a mobile utility station.
Airheads
As much as we love loud horns here at HornBlasters, you cannot have a powerful horn without a dependable onboard air system. That is why our horn kits include components built for real performance, not just noise.
Useful Air, Anywhere
Many popular HornBlasters kits can handle pneumatic tasks that people do not usually expect from a horn kit, especially when paired with the right fittings, hose, and accessories.
Explore UsesSome of us are into bagged vehicles and suspension, some of us have kids, some of us go offroading, and some of us use onboard air regularly for work. Here are some of the most useful ways to put your kit to work.
Tired Of Flat Tires?
One of the first uses that comes to mind with onboard air is filling tires. Not everyone worries about suspension or air tools, but almost everyone has dealt with a low tire or flat tire at some point.
Onboard air may not save you from a total blowout, but it can be a lifesaver when a tire is low or when you can patch a small puncture. This is especially useful for customers who upgrade wheel size and no longer have much use for the factory spare tire location.
Your car or truck tires are not the only things you can inflate. If you go offroading and your quad or dirt bike gets low out on the trail, there may not be a gas station nearby. With onboard air, you can be the one who saves the day.
Everyday Uses
Kid-Approved
Rafts, toys, slip n' slides, and little pools become much easier when your truck can do the inflating instead of your lungs.
Baggers & Boggers
Onboard air can support air suspension, load-leveling airbags, and other pneumatic setups depending on your vehicle's needs.
Making An Impact
With the proper tools, fittings, and air capacity, your onboard air system can help power small air tools on the road.
Tires are not the only things you can inflate. Rafts, toys of every shape and size, slip n' slides, little pools, and outdoor gear are all much easier with onboard air. Instead of making everyone wait while you run out of breath, bring it to the truck and let the kit do the work.
Suspension & Air Tools
While it may not be the first thing that comes to mind for every driver, onboard air is one of the most common foundations for air suspension. Whether you want to lift it up or drop it down, air suspension needs air.
If you do not want an air horn or train horn, HornAir onboard air systems can still provide the performance needed for suspension. Every suspension setup is different, so air tank size, compressor capacity, and pressure requirements depend on the vehicle and use case.
Mechanically inclined? With the right tools and onboard air system, you can carry more than a toolbox. Most air tools require around 90 PSI, though they can demand higher airflow than other onboard air applications. Smaller tanks work for shorter tasks, while heavy-duty work calls for larger tanks and stronger compressor setups.
A Day Without Air
Imagine you are trying to go out and ride your quad with friends. Before you leave, your family needs pool toys inflated. Then a rough road shakes the truck, one tire starts running low, and there is nowhere nearby to air up. Suddenly, a simple day turns into a roadside problem.
With onboard air: Pool toys are inflated in minutes, air suspension can smooth the ride, low tires can be handled roadside, and small air tools can help get equipment ready at the trail.
That may be an extreme example, but it shows how much onboard air can affect day-to-day life. HornBlasters kits are built to be loud, but with the right accessories and know-how, they can also get you out of a pinch and save the day.
