Rollover Protection For ATV’s

Rollover Protection For ATV’s ATV S The Quadbar rollbar for ATV’s drew a lot of attention at the recent Husker Harvest show near Grand Island Neb Built in Australia the Quadbar is being distributed in North America by Quadbar Industries Kelowna B C It consists of a hairpin-shaped steel hoop mounted behind the rider “The Quadbar has been used in Australia for more than 20 years and has shown great promise in reducing overturn-related injuries ” says distributor David Sullivan “Research there has shown that life-changing injuries and death can be reduced by up to 70 percent if the Quadbar is used with a helmet and extra riders are kept off the vehicle “It was originally designed for the agriculture industry but is now being used by police search and rescue teams subcontractors in the oil and gas industry and by forestry and mining industries ” The top part of the Quadbar is made with lightweight aluminum while the underside has heavier steel for strength “The Quadbar can be adjusted to sit below the rider’s head which reduces the chance of it getting caught on low obstacles It’s located as far away from the rider as possible which reduces the chance of the rider coming into contact with it ” He says the Quadbar’s position and narrow shape allows the rider to easily “exit” the ATV in an emergency “The rounded shape and padding on top of the hoop reduces potential injury and also allows the point of contact to slide along the ground instead of digging into it ” The Quadbar sells for $550 plus S&H “In Australia the government provides a 50 or 100 percent rebate on each Quadbar sold depending on which state you live in We hope similar rebates will become available some day in the U S and Canada ” notes Sullivan Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Quadbar Industries ph 778 870-7016; info@quadbarsafety com; www Quadbarsafety com
