Roll Cage for Ineos Grenadier – Built by Safety Devices

If you're serious about off-roading, overlanding, or just want to give your Grenadier the protection it truly deserves, this is for you:

We’re excited to offer a brand-new roll cage engineered specifically for the Ineos Grenadier! The Internal/External Roll Cage is mounted directly to the chassis at 4 locations and to the body at another 4 locations. Full kit comes with Internal B Hoop (available with & without Y bracing), C Hoop and Backstays.
  • Tailored Fit for the Grenadier – No compromises. Designed to integrate perfectly with your vehicle’s structure.
  • Built to Perform – Constructed from high-strength steel tubing, engineered to meet the toughest terrain.
  • Worldwide availability – This roll cage will be available globally through Safety Devices’ network of dealers, ensuring expert support wherever you are located.
  • Roof Rack Compatibility – compatible with Safety Devices' range of Explorer roof racks

Very nice, but I can't help but wonder how much of the Grenadier's 700kg payload is used up by the cage.

Nice...

Do you have an approximate weight for the cage?
Hello, thank you for commenting! The tube grades and fixtures are still in the process of being defined but we would say the cage weights appox. 150kg.
 
Wow, can you talk a bit about the installation and how this is tied into the Grenadier Frame? It looks like it has four (two front, two rear) structural supports and two (mid L track) cosmetic connections. Does it connect through the roof via an internal hoop similar to the Defender 110, and is this capable of supporting the weight of the Grenadier in the event of a rollover?

It looks like there is some provision for a rear hoop? Can you show how it impacts internal space and storage?
 
If it’d be like the SD cages on the Camel trucks, the truck can be picked up by helicopter by the rack! Flying spanners taken to a whole new level!
 
They did respond. it come from just plain "info" and went to the spam.

Later this year do a US distributor that was not named.

The core structural components are located externally at the A pillar, D pillar and roof sections, with internal B pillar hoop, and an internal C pillar hoop incorporating longitudinal stays. Both internal hoops connect to the external structure through the roof using crush spacers to accommodate the headlining,

The external C pillar mounting is largely cosmetic (compatible on vehicles with or without accessory rails) using an existing body fixing location - the existing 6mm hole used to mount the accessory rail is drilled out to accept M10 fasteners.

However, the structure is well triangulated to allow for accessories to be mounted between the two horizontal rails.

While the internal hoops obviously take up space, the design aims to minimise their impact on storage and passenger areas – the vehicle is still able to accommodate a Euro pallet with the roll cage installed.

Please note that the OEM snorkel is not compatible with the ROPS.

The ROPS is engineered to support the vehicle’s weight in a rollover - we expect to complete the analysis process soon.

As an aside, we feel it's worth adding that the ROPS is designed to accommodate our range of Explorer roof racks, which come in a various lengths and upper rail configurations.

Please let us know if you need any further information!
 
Note: There is a thread about purchase interest with Rovers North to mitigate some of the import tax impact. Anyone looking, please review the thread and contact Zack to stay in the loop.

Im curious - Since 2009, the US NHTSA has required all passenger (6,000 lbs or less) vehicle roofs to support 3x a vehicles unloaded weight in the event of a rollover, including maintenance of headroom. While such a rollover would likely cause catastrophic damage to the vehicle - is the idea that the SD cage would further protect the vehicle, allowing for continued use post roll-over?

Also - what's the impact to the Grenadier WRT to the weight balance of the vehicle - how does this cage impact the center of gravity, and it's natural tipping point?

Thanks for your question. You’re correct in your assumption, the ROPS is intended to provide additional protection to the vehicle occupants in the event of a rollover.
Roll overs are unique and unpredictable events, which often generate higher forces than those seen during the FMVSS216a tests.

Its also worth noting that given the Grenadier has a GVW greater than 6000lbs, it is only required to withstand a force of 1.5 x the unladen vehicle weight (rather than 3x), which could be as little as 15% higher than the GVW. However, the Grenadier is a tough vehicle and may well have been tested to a higher load – we just don’t know.

As for the centre of gravity, yes it will have an effect. However, based on tests we’ve conducted on other vehicles (e.g. Hilux), the impact is less than you would expect. Introducing passengers into the vehicle or stowing goods on the roof normally results in a higher increase in CoG.
