What is the AirBar?
The AirBar is a high-visibility, retractable safety device that deploys from the side of a vehicle. Designed with high-powered LED lighting, it provides a clear warning to other road users during breakdowns, roadside stops, or loading/unloading operations. It’s particularly valuable for vehicles that operate in hazardous environments or stop frequently at the roadside.
Key Features of the AirBar
Ultra-Bright LED Lighting
Fitted with extremely bright LEDs, the AirBar delivers maximum visibility, even in complete darkness, fog, or heavy rain. It outperforms standard hazard lights and ensures approaching drivers have ample warning.
Quick and Easy Deployment
The AirBar can be deployed in seconds, providing immediate protection in emergency or high-risk situations.
Compact and Retractable
When not in use, the AirBar retracts neatly into the vehicle body, maintaining a low profile and not affecting aerodynamics or vehicle aesthetics.
Built for Harsh Conditions
Designed to withstand extreme weather and rugged environments, the AirBar is perfect for year-round use in demanding sectors.
Custom Fit for All Vehicle Types
The AirBar is adaptable for a wide range of vehicles, including HGVs, recovery vehicles, and delivery vans, making it ideal for fleet-wide safety upgrades.
Why the AirBar is Perfect for Fleet Operators
1. Improved Roadside Safety
The AirBar creates a visible safety zone between your vehicle and live traffic. For recovery and delivery drivers working at the roadside, this barrier helps prevent accidents and keeps both personnel and passing motorists safe.
2. Maximum Night-Time Visibility
Thanks to its powerful LED lighting, the AirBar significantly increases vehicle visibility at night, a major advantage over traditional warning triangles, cones or beacons. It’s highly effective on poorly lit roads and during late-night operations.
3. Protects Drivers and Cargo
Accidents caused by drivers not seeing a stopped vehicle can be costly and dangerous. The AirBar helps reduce this risk by alerting approaching traffic well in advance, protecting both your staff and your vehicles.
4. Reduce Insurance Claims and Downtime
Improved safety often leads to fewer incidents, lower insurance costs, and less vehicle downtime, a clear financial benefit for fleet operators.
5. Demonstrate a Commitment to Safety
By fitting AirBars, your company is showing a proactive commitment to driver welfare and public safety, something that boosts your reputation with customers, insurers, and regulatory bodies. It makes you stand out in safety with a device that is not yet widely used.
Ideal for HGVs, Recovery, and Delivery Vehicles
These vehicle types often operate under risky conditions, stopped on busy roads, attending breakdowns, or making frequent deliveries in tight spaces. The AirBar helps make these operations safer by increasing visibility and giving drivers the confidence to work with reduced risk.
Make Safety a Priority
The AirBar is more than just a safety accessory, it's a smart, reliable, and cost-effective solution to one of the biggest risks facing fleet operators today: roadside collisions and reduced visibility. Whether you manage a national HGV fleet or a local delivery service, adding the AirBar to your vehicles is a powerful way to improve safety, reduce liability, and protect your people.
