25.01.2022 Tom Schneider is one of our talented Industrial Designers. He told us what it's like to work at SmartBar and where you'll find him when he's not working... 1. Fav part of job? It would have to be the diversity of projects. Ive enjoyed working on a range of different products for both automotive and marine industries. Its been a good challenge designing products that have such a variety of purpose. 2. Best memory? This is a tough one, there have been plenty of good working t...imes here. Work trips have always been enjoyable but I think designing our new pontoon system to meet all the Australia standards has been a good achievement for me. 3. Greatest strengths? Well I can tell you for free that self-analysis is not one of them. Id like to think my intuition and problem solving skills are up there. 4. In 5 years? Ideally Ill still be in a design role here, at the rate were are going with developing new products, that seems very likely. 5. Next off off your bucket list? Id like to pursue some more hobbies that revolve around photography, I enjoy taking photos of sports and wildlife. 6. Weekends? I like to get ocean side. Whether it be bodyboarding or out on the kayak, any sort of water activity is ok for me. 7. Dream car? Skoda Octaviaor maybe a Ferrari F40

23.01.2022 SMARTBAR'S NEW UNDER VEHICLE ARMOUR (UVA) for Ford Ranger PXII, PXIII and Ford Everest When travelling off-road, the underbody of your 4WD is one of the areas most susceptible to damage. Whilst most factory protection is sufficient for protecting your vehicle from light stone damage, a more robust solution should be considered for increased protection from rocks, stumps and ruts encountered in more challenging terrain. SmartBars Under Vehicle Armour (UVA) offers vehicle spec...ific under vehicle protection, set to minimize the risk of damage to most vital components of your vehicle drivetrain in such environments. UVA FEATURES: - PROTECTS VITAL ELEMENTS - LIGHTWEIGHT - HEAVY DUTY CROSSLINK - 1 HOUR INSTALL - HEAT RESISTANT - COMPATIBILITY - NON-CORROSIVE #ProtectYourVitals FIND OUT MORE - https://smartbar.com.au/uva
23.01.2022 With the recent surge in caravan sales its a timely reminder to get educated on GVM and GCM and stay safe on our roads. SmartBars are constructed with lightweight polymer making it the lightest bull bar on the market - helping keep you GVM as low as possible - while also providing the toughest protection to your vehicle and passengers.

21.01.2022 Craig loves to travel with wife Maureen in their Toyota Landcruiser 200 (2017) with a 186 Paramount Pop Top caravan. He got a SmartBar fitted about 2 years ago: The weight saving was a big factor to me. A big plus is no vibration compared to the steel bar on previous BT50. Clearance is good. The look grows on you and have recommended to a few people, a couple have bought one. Pretty easy to clean as well.

17.01.2022 Best of luck to all the participants in today’s SmartBar Walk for a Veteran with PTS. Veteran & Emergency Services Personnel mental health is a serious issue in Australia, and around the world. In a recent study, it was found that almost three in four transitioned Australian Defence Force (ADF) members were estimated to have met criteria for a mental disorder at some stage in their lifetime either, prior to, during or after their military career; Anxiety (46.1 per cent) and a...lcohol disorders (47.5 per cent) were the most common classes of lifetime disorder; One-quarter of transitioned ADF members were estimated to have met criteria for PTSD in their lifetime (24.9 per cent); Approximately half of transitioned ADF and 2015 regular ADF sought help for their mental health within three months of becoming concerned about it. The Department of Veterans Affairs have initiated an Annual Health Check for the first 5 years after discharge. However they have documented that 25% of veterans will experience PTSD in their lifetime. Right now many transitioned ADF in our community are left untreated and unsupported. #walkforaveteran

14.01.2022 Bull bar protrusions are a hot topic following a SAPOL Facebook post which showed fishing rod attachments on a Pajero bull bar. If stopped by SA Police, this driver would be fined almost $500 (see image below). 'Protrusions' are anything sharp or ragged that stick out of your bull bar and they are illegal because they increase damage when involved in collisions with cars and pedestrians. SmartBar bull bars are the safest bull bar option available, protecting drivers, passengers, pedestrians AND your vehicle. They are designed to meet all Australian Standards and still allow for all the usual 4WD extra features such as spotlights and winches.

13.01.2022 And the winner is.... SmartBar! The 2020 German Design Council Awards have been announced and we are thrilled to share that our Mercedes Sprinter VS30 Vehicle Protection System has won in the category for Excellent Product Design - Automotive Parts and Accessories! A huge congrats to Kieran Jenkins and Daniel Cutting (pictured) who were the designers behind this innovative system that provides both front and rear protection to the Sprinter. The highly esteemed international ...jury stated "The special bumper structure reduces the risk of damage and thus the need for expensive repairs to the vehicle all without impairing its performance. The system also blends harmoniously into the body design." The German Design Awards identify projects that represent pioneering contributions to the German and international design landscape. We can't wait to accept the award in Frankfurt next year! There's also a Public Choice Vote, so we'd love you to show your support here: https://www.german-design-award.com//27254-smartbar-vehicl See more
