ARB is one of Australia’s largest manufacturer of off road equipment. The name is known worldwide. They are known for quality of design, material, and craftsmanship. Bull Bar components are laser cut, and carefully assembled in assembly jigs which are pre-checked on a master table prior to production. MIG welded for maximum strength. All tubing is mandrel bent for smooth distortion free bends. All products are steel shot peened and then washed in hot phosphate to prevent rust. Bars are then electrostatically powder coated and cured in a 215 degrees Celsius oven. Engineering a bull bar means taking all things into consideration: vehicle design, crumple rate, air bags, approach angles, accessory fitment, strength, weight, and of course appearance. ARB has maintained this philosophy over the years, resulting in the pioneering of new bar design innovations. ARB bars are designed to minimize vehicle damage and keep you moving. Bars are designed to accommodate low profile winch models. Provisions for these winches are integrally incorporated into each bar design, eliminating the need for compromising winch cradles. ARB’s designs also include provisions for the roller fairlead, which provides additional reinforcement and strength during winching, especially at acute angles. ARB designs it’s mounting systems to fit each specific vehicle model.
Mounting Systems
Without a properly engineered mounting system that caters for individual vehicle designs, a bull bar is virtually useless. ARB mounting systems are vehicle specific and designed to spread impact over both chassis rails, thereby minimizing damage caused by a collision.
Air Bag Compatibility
ARB air bag compatible bull bars and mounting systems are built to replicate the vehicle's crush rate, thereby ensuring complete air bag compatibility without compromising protection levels.
Winch Applications
We manufacture a wide range of bull bars that accommodate fitment of an electric recovery winch. All ARB winch bars are built to handle the massive strain generated during winching operation.
Aesthetics and Finish
ARB bull bars are designed to complement the unique contours of individual vehicle models, and are finished in a durable powder coat that can be color coded to further enhance the bar's appeal.
