It’s an exciting time for ACM Bullbars.
The Melbourne-based bullbar and bumper bar specialists have invested in growth, almost doubling the size of their facilities – and over the next 12 months, the company will match its increase in size with output.
It’s great news for new and existing customers, with improved workflow and shorter lead times giving ACM Bullbars a competitive edge in the market.
General manager, Murray Stephen, told Big Rigs: “We’ve significantly expanded our facility to increase capacity and enhance manufacturing workflow that will allow us to improve our on-time, in-full performance.
“We’ve got a great relationship with our customers, and this will help us to become more customer focused.”
ACM Bullbars believes that the design of both their base components and bars are the reason they have one of the strongest bars on the market.
“We have developed special design parameters that make our bars up to 25 per cent stronger than many of the other bullbars out there,” Murray said.
ACM’s bullbar tubing has also been shown to bend 80 per cent less than competitors, even after being exposed to triple the force of other products.
“All of our bars are rigorously tested using our own test rig and independent engineers. We make sure our Bars are FUPS (front underrun protection systems) compliant and can really take an impact – up to about eight tonnes.”
The strength of the bars means they can handle a truck hitting objects at high speed, protecting the driver, the load and the vehicle itself.
The strength of the bars also ensures minimal downtime for the truck, getting it back on the road faster – saving your operation time and money.
Although ACM Bullbars is already ahead of the curve when it comes to bullbar technology, its Research and Development team remains hard at work, on new and improved designs to suit most applications.
With almost 30 years of experience in the bullbar industry, the company knows what the market wants, but also takes feedback from its customers on board on a regular basis.
“We provide products suitable for all the major makes of trucks in the heavy vehicle sector,” Murray explained.
“As part of our design process, we work with key industry stakeholders to design and adapt our bullbars to suit their requirements.
“For example, the newer trucks all have radar, so we’ve made adjustments to our designs to ensure the bullbar is capable of performing with radar on the chassis of the vehicle.”
If a customer wants further customisation, ACM Bullbars can also accommodate this, where practical.
As the company’s output continues to grow, the business is also expanding geographically, supplying to customers in all Australian states and territories.
