Exo roll cages in NSW

[Aussiecrawler]

I'm just wondering what the legalities are of a exo roll cage in nsw are. Even if it's removable but having mounts on the chassis?

[raven ute]

no go ....... just tried through my engineer

[rockcrawler31]

I have indeed seen them engineered in NSW. However, probably easier to just insist that it's a "ladder rack" which is completely legal

I have seen them on the road, some certified, some not.
I was told by an engineer about a year ago....
As long as the tubework doesnt impact on the drivers vision, then A/B/C pillar tubes are ok, even the tube below the windscreen is fine if its not in the drivers normal line of sight.

But like Milo said, they arent exo cages, they are front nudge bars, side rails/steps, and ladder racks.

It states up here there is no approval needed. And I have confirmed with transport

[raven ute]

under the new and current regs my engineer flat out said no , not as a heavy duty roof rack, not as a chassis mounted roof rack, not a an external cage. Previous laws yes but now no chance legally

So, can I get my truck engineered in QLD if I live in NSW??

What about as a rops

[bimbo]

If it is an over engineered rook rack though does it even need to be certified?

[raven ute]

yes as its a pedestrian hazard, i have tried and tried and tried to ne avail

Was it built correctly? Like below
Did you say its a "ladder rack"?

ive tried every name you could to try and get away with it but i get a clear NO on everything, plan and simple under current regs the engineer wont pass it

[samdumbert]

There must be some way to do it, Ive seen mine spec troopys in nsw with an exo cage.

THE FUN POLICE ARE JUST MAKING IT HARDER.. our kids wont know about going wheelin in paddock bashers or dirt bikes in the bush as the FUN POLICE will have all the areas they could play in shut down by then.. They wont be able to have a modified truck or car because by the time they get a license the FUN POLICE will have too many restrictions in place that they probably cant change the seat covers. I understand safety ect but I think they are going too far by just saying NO!!! they should give an alternative.
I was thinking of building my sons 1st car, a 4.2 TD GQ chassis & running gear with a Nissan D40 dual cab dumped on as the body, well that just a dream now. & as for the type of toys I used to build to play in will only ever be a memory now.

Im still going to exo mine, they can canary me if they want, but Im still gonna do it, fark em!!

I know my truck is going to be much safer for me and my family.

If you think something like getting an exo approved is hard, try getting any workcover licences (forklift, ewp, dogman,rigger,crane, hiab etc) ANYTHING next year.
New assesments will mean longer, more expensive courses (at least twice) and will be alot more rigorous testing. eg. having to know numerous formulas for driveing a forklift.
Gov. agences are farked.....
