Our tried and tested bulkhead system is market leading and is designed around the horse for safety and comfort. However, due to the build quality of the Bulkhead it also provides comfort for the driver in the cab. Our ramp uses advanced composite aluminium materials, the Overlander Ramp and Spring Assist system allows for safe loading and unloading which you can easily use alone with confidence or alongside your team.
“…you want it to be a vehicle that’s going to hold its value. The more fragile the product is, the quicker it’s going to depreciate on you, or even worse, you end up with a vehicle that no one is going to want second hand because there’s just too many problems with it. After 18 months of really being on the road four or five days a week, sometimes doing multiple trips per day- we power hose it [R240] regularly and it just looks brand new again. I’ve never looked back!”
