Quality
Our FUPS designed bull bars comply with ADR 84/00 (Front Underrun Impact Protection) 2009. Our fabrication techniques set our work apart from the ordinary ensuring a very long lifespan and the best collision protection for you and your heavy vehicle.
Our bull bars are STRONG because they are engineered that way. Our uprights are drilled and the bars are inserted and welded as shown [not tack welded like cheaper bars]. Our uprights are also made from 6mm high-tensile aluminium. This high standard fabrication will give you and your vehicle the best protection should the worst happen.
FUPD (Front Underrun Protective Devices) Compliance is a standard we test for Component Registration Number DOTARS bull bars. The test checks strength in the product in a simulated impact situation. The photo to the right shows the test machine applying 8 tonne of pressure to the corner of the bar. The standard 8 tonne test in the middle allows for 400mm of plate movement but in this test it is normal for our product to flex only 20-30mm. Another test applies 16 tonne to the side in line with the chassis rail. We test internally on our own approved equipment and are audited by an external engineering consultant to comply with DOTARS to receive a CRN.
