Roll Cages

[Allan]

Has anyone looked at this compony for roll over protection for Defenders?
That seem to cover most models. I am currently awaiting a price on roll cage number LO11 to suit the 110.

Allan,

They have a long heritage with Land Rover. They built the ROPS for the Camel Trophy vehicles and are pretty much rated the authoroty on Defender roll cages.

[Allan]

I may be getting paranoid in my old age, but after seeing a Puma at the wreckers here in Perth following a roll over, I am very close to spending the $$$'s to fit one.

Hey Allan,

They look the goods, but I wonder how much ?

It is simply design, it doesn't look to hard to have one made up.

One thing for sure it is very good idea to have some sort of roll over protection.

Cheers

I've emailed them for a price and will go from there.

Also check protection and performance - thats who my cage is made by.

Protection & Performance Ltd - Rollcages (http://www.ppcages.com/)

They probably do more Rover specific stuff nowdays than safety devices

I would go for this lot over Safety Devices they make a lot better cage and charge the earth for it.

Also safety devices is not the same company that built the camel Landy cages they went bust about 8 years ago and was bought by the polish.

If you check the link to PP cages, and click on the Bespoke 110 cage section you will see a friend of mines 110 camper/ series ambulance body. It has a turbo intercooled 4BD1, a Aus Milspec LT95 and is currently in the UK awaiting a trip to Mongolia and Russia this year.

I too am very interested in that cage, if you could post the price up when they reply to your email it would be much appreciated. I have a contact here that may be able to get them in too. I will investigate from my end.

If you do not want to install an internal cage, consider a proper cargo barrier (eg. Midford). I've seen how well they held up the roof in a rollover.

[flagg]

If anyone has an SD or PP cage on a defender that is registered in NSW or the ACT I would love to hear from them.. This is the sticking point for me.

I just got a repy regarding the price of the roll cage. Just under $1700 landed in Fremantle. The delivery time is 8-12 weeks:(. I think it will now have to wait until after my August fishing trip to Cape Leveque:D

Thanks,

I spoke to my guy today, he is making some enquiries and mentioned a possible group buy. I will report back when I know more.

Allan,

I spoke to good mate this arvo, he is owner of "Street Neat Welding” they specialise in chassis and roll Cages" hear of the NSW Central Coast.

Without measuring up, he estimates about $1200.00 for a single hoop, rear support legs and extensions tubes to go under the floor to the chassis, (basically the same as you were looking at). The cage will be made out of the same Cr-Mo steel that is required under ANDRA rules and the wait will be no where near 8-12 weeks once ordered.

Next week I am going to have mine measure up and provide an accurate quote. He can make one or one hundred if the demand is there.

Thanks for that, excellent news! Please let me know when you have a quote and I can go from there.

What's the exact address. I would be very interested in one for my 90.

Hello Allen,

I am also getting paranoid, I have the same fear when driving mine with the kids in the back seat.When you see the strength of the aluminum body of the Defender, it is understandable to seek to adding some kind of protection.

Our fear is echoed by the fact that the NAS Defenders had a roll-cage fitted for the protection it offers.

I am convinced that an external roll-cage could preserve the body and the occupants.

In addition to Safety device, Terrafirma also has a 6 points external cage for the Defender.

I strongly believe, like you that it fitting one is a good investment.

Thanks Drover. If this can be engineered I would also be interested.

You won't be able to engineer it in NSW as an external ROLLCAGE,but afterall,it is just a very solid ROOFRACK,which won't require engineering,as long as it isn't welded to the chassis

Hey falgg,

Not sure about engineering, but I will have that checked out.

Phil Armitage, the owner of SNW, uses an engineer on a regular basis, so it will easy to find out one or the other.

Just clarify this is an internal 1/2 cage.

Cheers

If this will fit a 110 Defender with a Milford Cargo Barrier
I may be interested, a more accurate description of its mountings etc would help

[Allan]

This is the cage I have been looking at. If Drovers contact can come up with a bolt in cage similer to this I would be very interested at the price.

I cant see any cross bracing or diagonal stays....how effective would this design be :confused:

Most internal ROPS for wagons don't have cross braces / diagonals as they take up too much room.

No good for high speed, not suitable for racing. However for most landrover speed rollovers I would feel save in it.

Is bolting to the chassis OK?

Bolting to the chassis is perfectly ok
