ARB BASE Rack Guard Rail Systems

REMOVABLE GUARD RAILS

The BASE Rack system is available in full, quarter, three-quarter and trade configurations. The rails attach quickly and easily to the dovetail extrusion around the rack’s perimeter with some additional fixing points at the rack corners.

BASE Rack owners can have a full guard rail system on or off in just a few minutes!

Hotspot 1

Flange cap assembly—Fully machined nodular iron flange cap incorporates the stationary side of ARB's tough, proven and patented timed locking mechanism.

Hotspot 2

Air supply—At the flick of a dash-mounted switch, compressed air is delivered to the seal housing assembly via a nylon air line.

Hotspot 3

Clutch gear—ARB's patented locking system actually supports the side gear teeth, giving you more torque handling capability, exactly when you need it.

Hotspot 4

Cross shaft retaining pin—Custom made, one-piece hardened retaining pins lock into the assembly using a tapered thread junction.

Hotspot 5

Bonded seal—Steel reinforced, elastomer-bonded annular seal has been proven to handle 20,000+ cycles under the most extreme climatic temperatures on earth.

Hotspot 6

Two piece design—Machining a case from two pieces instead of three results in a much higher dimensional accuracy of the finished assembly and has allowed ARB engineers to improve the design of other elements, resulting in a reduction of moving parts, increased strength and a more responsive activation.

Hotspot 7

Pinion gear—Combining the strength of forged nickel alloy steel with redefined gear-tooth geometry, ARB has revolutionised locking differential gear design to yield structural advantages of up to 30% over commercially available high strength gears.

Hotspot 8

Spider block—A billet machined, alloy steel spider block supports the cross shafts, using the torque applied at each shaft to support the next shaft along.

Hotspot 9

Forged gears—With phenomenal forces being applied to the side and pinion gears within the differential, ARB has invested heavily in the application of forged gears, typically found in heavy duty commercial, race and agricultural transmissions.

Hotspot 10

Splined side gear—High grade surface treatments, forged nickel alloy steel and ARB's patented timed locking system make this the most ‘lockable’ gear in the industry.

Hotspot 11

Return spring—Instead of a complex external actuator system to engage/disengage the lock, ARB Air Lockers use up to 12 return springs to support the entire profile of the locking gear for a fast, positive and independent disengagement.

Hotspot 12

Diff case—Fully machined, one-piece nodular iron diff carrier case offers the rigidy of a one-piece factory differential with twice the standard number of pinion gears to cope with the torque.

Hotspot 13

Long cross shaft—Alloy steels and performance surface technology make for a high pressure running fit that can handle an enormous amount of punishment.

FULL RAILS

Designed for the tourer. The rails running around the perimeter of the rack act as a load block, helping to prevent larger items such as swags and tents from shifting when loading and unloading, as well as during transit.

3/4 RAILS

A cross between full and trade rails, 3/4 rails, along with an optional roller kit, assist with easy rear loading of large and awkward items whilst still providing load security at the front of the rack. Also designed for rear folding rooftop tents, subject to tent width.

1/4 RAILS

Perfect for campers, this style of rail is great for rooftop tents whilst still providing ample storage and load security at the front of the rack.

TRADE RAILS

Great for loading long items such as timber and ladders with an optional roller kit to help glide long or awkward items onto the rack. The side rails prevent items from slipping or rolling off the rack during loading and allow you to fill the rack right up to the edge.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The BASE Rack is available in a number of widths and lengths to complement the vast range of 4WDs on the market. Sold standard as a low-profile platform rack, it can easily transform into a touring or trade rack by simply installing the rail system that best suits your needs!

3 Years Warranty
