ARB BULL BARS

ARB bull bars will provide substantially improved protection for vulnerable mechanical components against anything the New Zealand conditions have to throw at you whilst providing a solid base for mounting other accessories like driving lights, winches and CB antennas.

ARB bars are superbly engineered and manufactured to not only maintain maximum functionality, but also to ensure they complement the look of the vehicle.

Summit MKII Bar

The ARB Summit MKII Bar muscles up with the most innovative and advanced technology yet, all while fully integrating with Mitsubishi’s suite of advanced driver assist safety technology that are specific to the MY24 Triton MV.

The state-of-the-art Summit MKII Bar takes key components of its flagship namesake and kicks it up a notch with an ultra-modern design that’s constructed to turn heads.

COMMERCIAL BAR

ARB commercial bull bars and winch bars are a cost effective alternative to deluxe bull bars, offering a comparable level of vehicle protection.

Incorporating many of the strength related features of a deluxe bull bar, commercial bars provide considerable frontal protection but achieve cost savings through a simplified manufacturing process.

Commercial bars are frequently specified by government and fleet operators – organisations that demand strong and functional equipment but are willing to go without some of the aesthetic characteristics.

Steel Tube

76.1mm steel center frame tube and 47.6mm outer frame tube for added strength.

Driving Light Provision

Secure mounting points ideal for IPF or ARB Intensity Driving Lights.

Jacking Points

Some Commercial bull bars feature jacking points, allowing a jack to be attached directly to the bull bar (not shown).

Electric Winch Provision

Some Commercial bull bars are available with electric winch provision, and have been specifically designed to accommodate the stresses of winching.

Split-Pan Design

ARB’s Engineers give careful consideration to maintaining sufficient air flow to the vehicle’s radiator. Utilizing a split-pan system, ARB’s bull bar design ensures the radiator receives a massive amount of air flow and actually further increases the strength of the bull bar.

Secure Mounting

The mounting system is a vital part of any ARB bull bar design. ARB’s mounting systems are specifically engineered to spread impact and winching loads evenly over the vehicle’s chassis. This ensures the bull bar functions properly in extreme conditions.

CB Antenna Brackets

Some ARB Commercial bull bars incorporate CB antenna brackets welded behind the top cross tube.

Wing Design

The furthest most point from the chassis and often the point of impact in an animal strike, the wing area is by far the most vulnerable. ARB pioneered the five-fold upswept and tapered wing design, which provides an enormous amount of strength and maintains an optimum approach angle.

STEALTHBAR

The StealthBar bull bar provides unparalleled vehicle protection and a tough aesthetic, at approximately 30% less weight than a SpartanBar. Designed using the same cutting edge polyethylene material and manufacturing process, these bars are now the only bull bar approved for use in Europe.

With such strict safety testing and stringent regulations you can rest assured that your vehicle and passengers are well protected with a StealthBar fitted.

Manufactured from polyethylene plastic, and popular with fleet and emergency service operators including ambulance, police and fire services, the innovative SpartanBar frontal protection system provides an alternative for organisations and customers looking for a lighter alternative to traditional steel bull bars.

BULL BAR PRODUCTION STEPS

ARB_Factory_01-04_003_edit-1096×480

Laser Cutting

Every bull bar starts its life as a flat sheet of steel. Individual components are cut to shape using ARB's state of the art, computer aided laser cutters which can cut to a tolerance of just 0.2mm with no heat distortion, resulting in superior surface finishes and accuracy.

ARB_Factory_01-04_059_edit-1096×480

Folding

Individual components are then folded to make up the sections of the bull bar using a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine which ensures maximum accuracy and consistency. Most bull bars utilise ARB's five fold design, with each fold providing additional strength.

Tube Work

ARB bull bars are made with strong 2.6mm wall thickness tubing. The tube is cut to the desired length and bent with a CNC Eagle internal mandrel bender ensuring consistency, accuracy and an even wall thickness accross all sections.

Robot Welding

Once folded, each section is welded utilizing a robot welder. Robot welders are used for straightforward, repetitive welding jobs that require deep penetration, speed and accuracy.

Assembly

When individual components are complete, the bull bar is assembled. All sections including pan, wing, uprights, outer frame and chassis brackets are placed in a jig and tack welded. This is followed by finish welding and grinding for strength and aesthetics. Jigs are assessed regularly to ensure accuracy.

Post Assembly

To complete the manufacturing process all ARB bull bars are shot blasted, before entering a 5 stage chemical wash to prepare the surface for maximum powder adhesion. They're then powder coated and oven baked to ensure a rich and durable finish. As well as being an attractive and durable finish, powder coating provides an excellent base for painting if colour coding is required.
