Steel grating, known as a bull bar, which is installed in front of the vehicle is intended to protect vehicle and passengers from damage due to collision by vehicles or animals. Therefore it is also known as a front steel barrier.
Bull bars add extra front-end protection, maximum ground clearance and the perfect finishing touch to a vehicle.
Bull bars are usually made of materials that are strong, highly durable and carefully engineered to provide better safety to a vehicle. At times they are also made of welding two metals together. Materials commonly used for making bull bars are like aluminium, steel and polycarbonate materials. Those three are more common use today but new inventor may discover new technology in the future.
For many years, bull bars have been accepted as an accessory for most types of vehicle, including passenger cars, four-wheel drives, forward control vehicles, etc. However, the continued development of vehicle technology and ongoing improvements in vehicle safety systems have led to a situation whereby a bull bar may interfere with the sophisticated safety systems designed into modern vehicles.
