Features
Cargo Barrier Types
Mesh Cargo Barrier
Our most commonly sought after product. It Features a 25mm x50mm mesh, welded onto a steel frame and powder coated graphite grey, We match our cargo barrier shape to the interior of the vehicle, but also allow provisions for air bags, seat belts, etc.
Depending on the vehicle, we can fit the barrier near the front or towards the rear of the vehicle. Some of our barriers are dual positions, meaning that with a few adjustments, can be moved from the front to rear position at any time.
Vapour Resistant Cargo Barrier
Our range of vapour resistant cargo barriers are enclosed to limit gases and / or fumes travelling to the cabin of the vehicle. It features a large single piece of sheet metal reinforced with a metal frame. The edges are covered with a rubber pinch weld bubble seal which allows the barrier to sit tightly in the vehicle.
All of our vapour resistant cargo barriers are powder coated APO grey and a majority are kinked with a large polycarbonate window. This barrier helps protect as well as add some style to your cargo area.
Polycarbonate Cargo Barrier
A niche alternative to our Mesh Cargo Barriers. It features a tough polycarbonate top hald and a reinforced sheet metal bottom hald installed onto a welded steel frame. This barrier enhances the effect of air conditioning (foregoing the need for an air curtain) and has a clearer rear vision than common mesh barriers.
This product can only be installed in the front position (directly behind 1st row of seats) and is mostly used for small to medium sized vans and small SUVs.
FAQ’s
Do your cargo barriers comply with Australian Standards ?
Most Cargo Barriers are tested to comply with Australian standard AS/NZS4304.
What sort of maintenance is required on my cargo barrier?
Ensure fasteners are always tight and check anchorage points for any obvious damage. If vehicle is in an accident it is recommended that you have your cargo barrier inspected at an authorised Caddy Storage outlet for any advice.
Can I modify my cargo barrier?
Cargo barriers are designed and manufactured and fitted to vehicles according to the Australian standard AS/NZS4304 to ensure your personal safety. Under NO circumstances should a barrier ever be modified as compliance to the Standard cannot be guaranteed to a modified barrier.
How long does it take to install my Cargo Barriers?
Cargo barrier fitting times vary depending on your vehicle. The less complicated cargo barriers can take as little as 30 mins where the more complicated barriers can take up to three hours or more. Please enquire at your point of sale.
Is my cargo barrier compatible with vehicles air bags?
Cargo barriers are designed not to impede a vehicles air bags.
What happens to my cargo barrier after a crash?
If your vehicle has been involved in an accident and the cargo barrier has been hit it should be replaced, the structural integrity of steel components cannot be guaranteed to meet the Australian standards in a second accident. We do not recommend fitting second hand barriers as their crash history is unknown and we would not compromise the safety of you or your family.
What are the advantages of a Vapour Resistant cargo barrier?
The main advantage is that of which this type of cargo barrier is named – Vapour resistant – meaning a great proportion of any vapours carried in the rear of the vehicle will be blocked out from the front occupants. This is very popular now with many larger fleets and their concerns around WHS.
It blocks out most noise from the rear compartment of vehicle.
Improves air conditioning meaning better fuel consumption for the vehicle.
Polycarbonate clear window – meaning you are NOT looking through a common mesh cargo barrier.
Polycarbonate window is kinked for light deflection at night time.
