Get Your Bull Bar for that Added Protection for Your Vehicle at Our Fitment Centre
You should contact your nearest Electronic Fitment Centre to find out more about fitting a bull bar to your vehicle as a much needed safety measure. The bull bar is fitted onto the front of the vehicle where it can help to protect the bumper, headlights, engine and, most importantly, the occupants in the case of a road accident. Installing something as strong and sturdy like that, always improves the likelihood of saving precious lives in the event of a mishap.
Bull bars were originally developed to protect the front of vehicles, like 4x4s, in rough terrain. It served to protect your head lights, radiator and several other important parts of the vehicle, which, when damaged off-road, could happen in a place where help is far to find. Bull bars come in various sizes and can be chosen according to the vehicle’s make and size.
Bull Bars are Generally Attached to Off-Road Vehicles
The steel fitment takes most of the impact of a collision with another vehicle and it comes in handy when you are driving out in some of the rougher parts of the country. It is generally made of sturdy steel tubes that are either welded together or folded into shape by machines. Steel bull bars are preferred by four-wheel drive vehicle owners, as they also come in a variety of designs, like the brush bar that was designed to protect the headlights and extra attachments in the front of the vehicle from small trees and bushes.
Smaller vehicles, like LDVs and light sedans, can also install nudge bars that are made of aluminium alloy tubes, which are lighter but still strong. Nudge bars are strong enough to take most of the force of the impact if the vehicle hits something, thus having less of an impact on the occupants. On the other hand, the bumper may still take some of the impact, as it is designed to crumple.

As long as you remember that the front section used to construct the bar should be made from a single piece of steel or aluminium alloy, and it must be sturdy. The second important aspect is the thickness; the thicker the bar, the stronger it is going to be, but keep in mind that it might also be much heavier. Most of these items are on display at your nearest Electronic Fitment Centre where you will be able to get a real feel for the strength of a quality bull bar for your vehicle!
