Flexible Crush Protection

The LifeGuard’s flexible construction allows the roll bar to move with the forces created during a rollover.

The spring action helps the quad bike bounce or deflect away from the rider rather than simply crushing downwards.

Arc-Shaped Design

The unique arc shape helps spread the quad bike’s weight across the roll bar.

It also assists with rolling the ATV back onto its wheels after an upturn.

The design can make it easier to push the quad away or wriggle free if the rider becomes trapped underneath.

Designed Around the Rider

The LifeGuard moulds around the rider during a rollover to help create additional survival space.

The segmented construction provides crush protection while helping reduce the chance of the roll bar causing additional injury.

Why Trax LifeGuard?

Quad bike rollovers present a serious safety risk, particularly in agricultural and rural environments.

The information also states that Australia has an estimated220,000 quad bikes, with approximately80% used in rural industries.

“Quad bikes are the leading cause of death in Australian agriculture and a significant contributor to injuries, with half of these related to the bike rolling over.”

Quad Bike Safety – 2012

According to the supplied 2012 quad bike safety information, Health and Safety authorities acrossAustralia, New Zealand and the USA concluded that opposition from manufacturers towards crush protection devices and roll bars had been shown to be unfounded.

The information recommended fitting roll bars to quad bikes because of the serious risk of injury or death associated with rollovers.

Please ensure the LifeGuard is correctly fitted to your quad bike and follow all supplied installation and safety instructions before use.
