Crush Protection Devices (CPDs) are attachments fitted to the back of a quad bike to create a “safe zone” for the rider in the event of a rollover.

Their purpose is to help prevent riders from being pinned, crushed or suffocated by holding the quad bike off the ground and maintaining a clearance zone the rider can survive in, or escape from.  

CPDs can also influence how a quad rolls by interrupting continuous rollover motion, which may reduce the severity of low‑speed overturns.  

Some designs use flexible materials to absorb impact forces and improve protection.

A GPS/telemetry system is technology used to monitor vehicle location, movement and operating conditions in real time. These systems combine GPS tracking, which records where a vehicle is and how it is being driven, with telemetry sensors that detect factors such as rollover‑risk, harsh movement or unsafe operating conditions.

On farms, this technology improves situational awareness, supports rapid incident response, and promotes safer vehicle operation by identifying hazardous behaviours. Solutions such as Safetrax provide real‑time rollover risk alerts to drivers and automatically send an SOS with vehicle location to designated contacts if a rollover occurs. The data collected helps farmers understand risk trends, deliver targeted training, and quickly locate vehicles and operators in emergencies.

A speed limiter is a device that restricts a vehicle from travelling above a set maximum speed. Speed limiters generally come in two forms:

On farms, speed limiters are used to manage risk by controlling maximum vehicle speed. Lower speed increases the time a rider has to react to unexpected situations and reduces stopping distances. Limiting speed can support the effectiveness of other safety measures for example, many helmets are certified for impact protection up to around 30 km/hour, and their ability to reduce injury decreases at higher speeds.

A helmet is personal protective equipment designed to protect a rider’s head when operating vehicles such as quad bikes and side‑by‑sides. It includes a hard outer shell to help manage impact forces and a shock‑absorbing inner liner that reduces the effect of sudden blows.

Helmets come in various styles such as full‑face, open‑face and modular offering different levels of coverage depending on the activity and environment.

On farms, helmets are used to reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a rollover, collision, or fall. Because quad bikes and side‑by‑sides can tip or lose stability on uneven terrain, wearing an appropriate, approved helmet helps protect riders by significantly lowering the likelihood and severity of head trauma.

A tyre pressure gauge is a handheld tool used to measure the air pressure inside a vehicle’s tyres.

For quad bikes and side‑by‑sides on farms, knowing and maintaining the correct tyre pressure is important for safe and effective operation. Correct pressure helps ensure consistent traction - especially on soft or uneven terrain, supports stable handling and reduces the likelihood of rollovers. It also helps tyres wear evenly, extending their lifespan and lowers the risk of punctures or other tyre failures.

Regular pressure checks are important when vehicles move between different surfaces or loads. Recommended pressure should always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Taking a few minutes before you head out to run through some simple checks and questions could make all the difference to your season, your business… and possibly even your life.
