The Airbag Man team put their products to the test in a special trip recently

Airbag Man recently took its R&D to another level, trading the office for adventure as a few team members headed up the East coast for every 4×4 enthusiast’s bucket list trip: Cape York.
It was an opportunity for field testing in some of Australia’s toughest terrain, pushing vehicles and products to their absolute limits over two weeks on the road.
Airbag Man Design and Applications Engineer, Matt Searle, said that from a tech perspective, it was about seeing all the small things in action.
“With our products, there’s so many little things that may not be noticeable to the general public, but that we spend so much time on, to make the experience and operation reliable and effortless,” Matt said. 
“It was also great to see the products constantly operating in such harsh rocky and muddy conditions. This is something most of our customers won’t experience on a day-to-day basis, but it was great to be able to demonstrate the true capabilities of our products.”
For Marketing Manager Rhiannan Canfyn, it was an awakening about just how frequently they’d be reaching for the on-board air controls.
“I probably wasn’t expecting just how often we’d use the Intelliride: hitching and unhitching frequently, increasing our departure angles, site levelling with a rooftop, lowering to make loading/unloading easier,” Rhiannan said.
“We literally had a different load every single day – trailer/no trailer; fully stocked with food, fuel and water for a week to completely unloaded; anywhere from two to four passengers; different amounts of camera gear, and so on.
“It is one thing to know about the features and promote them as part of my job, but to actually live it and see the benefits in action, brought home for me just how much of a game-changer on-board air control is when towing and off-roading.”

Meanwhile, Sales Manager Aaron Smith got to experience what it was like taking trucks from sealed road to off road.
“I’ve driven in plenty of trucks with different suspension setups but mostly on the highway,” Aaron said.
“When the chance came to ride in the All Terrain Warriors’ Isuzu I jumped at it, as these are no ordinary trucks and we were definitely not tackling ordinary roads.
“To experience firsthand how well they handled the different types of terrain with ease and how comfortable they were was just unbelievable.
“These trucks were loaded with gear plus towing a heavy trailer, and to see how well our leaf assist kits complimented these trucks was just amazing.”
