Trax LifeGuard & Mounting – RED – Crush Protection Device
Choose Trax LifeGuard, an award-winning quad bike crush protection device designed to help reduce the risk of serious injury during a rollover.
Its flexible arc-shaped design helps absorb and deflect the weight of an overturned quad bike, creating additional space around the rider.
The LifeGuard uses a flexible, segmented roll bar that helps spread the weight of the ATV during a rollover.
The arc shape also helps the quad deflect away from the rider rather than pressing directly downwards.
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.
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.
The LifeGuard molds 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.
Trax LifeGuard is designed and manufactured in New Zealand, using a design developed specifically for quad bike rollover protection.
Quad bike rollovers present a serious safety risk, particularly in agricultural and rural environments.
Figures supplied with the LifeGuard product information state that quad bikes account for approximately 28% of all work-related farm deaths. The same information reports that around 850 people are seriously injured each year and 120 people lose their lives.
The information also states that Australia has an estimated 220,000 quad bikes, with approximately 80% 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.”
According to the supplied 2012 quad bike safety information, Health and Safety authorities across Australia, 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.
