Put simply, they love what they do. They boldly say they manufacture the ‘World’s Best Alloy Bullbars’ and that is something everyone at ECB believes and lives, they put it on the walls, wear it on their shirts, and put it into the products. It's fair to say that if you are carrying a load of bikes on the roof there will be wind noise, but a good set of roof bars will minimise it.

AMA side steps are the perfect accessory to make getting in and out of your vehicle a breeze. Their steps are attractive, functional, and are made from high tensile aluminium. Designed to bolt directly to the chassis of the vehicle for ultimate rigidity and strength. When you think of ECB Automotive Protection Equipment and Accessories you think of products that are “Built to perform and guaranteed to last!”. AutoWeb - Smart Bar a Contender in Automotive Safety Award". Archived from the original on 23 June 2005 . Retrieved 26 November 2006. Autoweb article about design awards research from the 4WD Industry Council surveyed 42,600 motorists. Of these individuals, the instance of animal strikes was estimated to be in the region of 25,000 and 30,000 a year. The peak time for these strikes was found to be during poor light conditions. Interestingly, the study found that people travelling in vehicles without roo bars or bull bars were 30 times likelier to suffer an injury than those in a bar-equipped vehicle. Almost ¾ of the drivers surveyed that has been in an animal strike collision felt that if they didn’t have a bull bar of some sort fitted, they would have had the need to swerve and potentially crash into other cars, trees or structures. A push bumper or nudge bar is fitted to the chassis of the car and located to augment the front bumper, to allow the car to be used as a battering ram for simple structures or fences, or to push disabled vehicles off the road.Bullbars are sometimes used as a platform for mounting spotlights, fishrod holders and vehicle recovery winches. Radio antennas for equipment such as CB radios are often mounted onto bullbars, even though mounting on the roof provides better performance. Mounting on the roof is inconvenient in cities as it typically makes vehicles too tall to fit in underground carparks. He likened the Grenadier’s aftermarket program as an automotive app store, with companies welcome to use the Grenadier as a platform, if they can prove to INEOS that their equipment meets its engineering and warranty criteria. This requirement is not specifically aimed at bullbars but does effectively prescribe requirements for their construction. ADR 42/00, the first version of this rule, applied to vehicles built from July 1988. Australian Standard AS4876.1-2002 Motor vehicle frontal protection systems Part 1: Road user protection was released in 2002, and applies construction rules to all bullbars manufactured since that date, [15] regardless of the age of the vehicle that they are fitted to. Similar requirements for older vehicles fitted with bullbars manufactured before that Australian Standard was implemented exist only in state legislation. For body builders, a commission to be involved and approved from INEOS means signing on with us on warranties,” he confirmed. They have access to our CAD data. We maintain the five-year warranty on the bits they don’t touch with the expectation that they match the warranty on the bits they do touch,” he said.

Studies have shown that using bull bars increases the risk of death and serious injury to pedestrians. [1] This is because the bull bar is rigid, and so transmits all the force to the pedestrian, unlike a bumper which resists some force and crumples. Due to the number of deaths and injuries caused by the rigid fronts of cars, often with metal bullbars (2,000 deaths and 18,000 serious accidents per year in Europe, according to official studies in the UK [2]), the sale of new metal bullbars which did not comply with a European Union Directive was banned in the European Union. [3] However, in the United Kingdom the sale and refitting of second-hand bars manufactured before 2007 or the use of pre-2007 bars already fitted is permitted as per the current MOT guidelines: "It is not illegal for vehicles to be fitted with bull bars, although the Department would not recommend their fitment unless it has been shown, through compliance with specified safety standards, that they do not pose an additional risk of injury to pedestrians or other vulnerable road users. There are no plans for legislation to require bull bars that are already fitted to be removed."

Instead, this way, the company broadens anyway and everybody wins.” However, INEOS has insisted the bodywork companies match its own five-year/unlimited-km vehicle and paint warranty for the Grenadier, which also comes with a 12-year anti-perforation warranty. ARB will offer aftermarket equipment for the Grenadier from the moment they arrive, and the first French-built off-roaders are already on ships to Australia.

Bullbars incorporating a winch are often known as "winch bumpers"(USA) or "winch bars"(AU), especially in the UK where the sale of bullbars that do not meet European standards, as mentioned above, was banned since 2007. However, the legislation was not retrospective, and steel frontal protection systems can still be legal, for instance when incorporating a winch fitting.It’s fair to say there has been a varied reaction to it from the aftermarket. Some are fine and some less fine, but we are trying to make it easier for the customers.” Bullbar manufacturers in Australia must conform to Australian standard AS47861.1/2002. In some states it may be illegal to drive a vehicle fitted with a bullbar that does not comply with the Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The main ADR requirement that applies to bullbars is a clause within ADR 42/xx (where xx designates a version number), which states (in part) that: Anderson, Scott; Daigle, Thomas; McNair, Madeline (3 May 2020).
