Vital for rural and remote area travel, ARB bull bars will provide substantially improved protection for vulnerable mechanical components against animal strikes 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.
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.
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.

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.

76.1mm steel centre frame tube and 47.6mm outer frame tube for added strength.
Some ARB commercial bars incorporate CB aerial brackets welded behind the top cross tube.
Secure mounting points ideal for IPF or ARB Intensity driving lights.
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.
Some commercial bars feature Hi-Lift jacking points, allowing a Hi-Lift jack to be attached directly to the bar (not shown).
Some commercial bars are available with electric winch provision, and have been specifically designed to accommodate the stresses of winching.
ARB’s engineers give careful consideration to maintaining sufficient airflow to the vehicle’s radiator. Utilising a split pan system, ARB’s bull bar design ensures the radiator receives a massive amount of airflow and actually further increases the strength of the bar.
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.

Weight savings provide improved fuel economy and reduced tyre, suspension and brake wear when compared to other alternatives.
Weight savings provide improved fuel economy and reduced tyre, suspension and brake wear when compared to other alternatives.
Superior frontal protection, due to the impact absorbing design.
Compatible with OE features such as airbag, safety and ADAS features.
Compatible with ARB Under Vehicle Armor (UVA) and ARB Under Vehicle Protection (UVP), as well as ARB Recovery Points.
Removable high lift jack points available as an option with winch bars only.
Accommodates a large range of driving lights, as well as an antenna mount.
Styled to maintain the vehicle’s aesthetic appearance, with side wing under body protection.
Material increases durability, and also provides minimal repair costs after impact and reduced general maintenance.
Manufactured from environmentally friendly, recyclable polyethylene polymer.
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.
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.
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 across all sections.
Once folded, each section is welded utilising a robot welder. Robot welders are used for straightforward, repetitive welding jobs that require deep penetration, speed and accuracy.
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.
To complete the manufacturing process all ARB 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, power coating provides an excellent base for painting if colour coding is required.
