Cargo Barriers are a must for most 4WD vehicles, particularly station wagons and troop carriers, as well as the family station wagon and all cargo-carrying vans and wagons.

Australia leads the way with this great product which is not only a superb safety product but a practical 4WD accessory.

Milford Cargo Barriers are available for a huge range of makes and models of vehicles used for family transport, in business and commerce, rural industries and recreational travel.

Most can be fitted in two positions (behind the back or front seats) and are easily moved by using the wing nuts/bolts or large screws holding the Cargo Barrier into the relevant position.

Fitment of Cargo Barriers should be carried out by authorised fitting agents (normally Milford distributors) as special fittings are placed into the vehicle body. Special tools are required for some fitments.

Features of Milford Cargo Barriers:

• Powder coated finish (Charcoal colour)
• Child restraint openings
• Vertical struts (for rollover protection)
• Energy absorbing straps (top and bottom)

From a practical point of view, the simple yet effective Cargo Barrier allows twice the amount of luggage to be carried by stacking to the roof, whilst ensuring your family's safety.

Most people aren’t aware of the deadly safety hazards that lurk inside their vehicle.

4WD, Sports Utility and Cross-Over vehicles continue to increase in popularity and yet they all feature an open interior where passengers actually share the same space as potential projectiles in the storage area.

Driving with unrestrained loads in these vehicles can be one of the most dangerous activities that anyone can do. Flying objects can be hurled forward with unbelievable force – force enough to maim and kill a vehicle’s occupants, yet amazingly, most people still carry every day loads in these vehicles with no protection at all.

At Milford, as global leader in the understanding of what it takes to prevent loads from entering the passenger compartment of a vehicle, we have become increasingly concerned about this fact. Famous for our world beating Milford Cargo Barrier, we have now focused on providing an interior restraint solution for the more lightly loaded vehicle. After extensive research and development we are at last able to offer a new dimension in occupant safety – the Milford Safety Net.

Technically Superior

Milford looked at the demands of the driving public and recognised that the Australian Standards Cargo Barrier, while still a mandatory requirement where heavy loads are carried or where the highest level of protection is necessary, does not always meet the needs of today’s busy lifestyles [1]. We needed a new form of load restraint.

In searching the globe for materials that might make this a reality, Milford engineers discovered a technically superior, high strength, flexible, textile net that offered great promise. When combined with a high strength vinyl perimeter and suitably re-enforced, this net provided the combination of load restraint capability and improved aesthetics that we had been looking for.

For ease of use, our engineers turned to Milford’s own proven ‘Quick Release’ mounting system [2] combined with a clever, self-ejecting top rail mechanism.

The result is a light weight product that blends well with the interior of modern vehicles. It may be fitted to a wide range of vehicles where ease of use and interior aesthetics are considered just as important as load restraint. We believe that a Milford Safety Net provides the best possible safety solution, this side of a traditional Milford Cargo Barrier, available worldwide. Benchmarked against the United Nation’s Standard [3] for vehicle load restraint, this design is in many ways superior to products found in some luxury imported vehicles.

A Lifestyle Choice

When not in use, the Milford Safety Net can be tidied away in its own convenient storage bag, even though we recommend that it stay in place permanently. Being a safety product, it needs to be initially installed by a qualified Milford installer, or someone experienced and capable of drilling a vehicle. We understand that vehicles are changed more often these days, and so each Milford Safety Net can be fitted to a range of similar sized models, meaning that if desired, it may be ‘taken with you’, at the cost of installation.

The Milford Safety Net is today’s lifestyle choice for active, safety conscious, vehicle owners. Stay healthy and safe. Insure yourself by installing one today!

1. For fleet use or where a high level of protection is equired and available, we always recommend the use of a AS/NZS4034 rated Milford Cargo Barrier.
2. Due to technical limitations, some vehicle applications may feature an alternative, Milbolt mounting system.
3. The UN Standard for seat and load restraint is ECE R17, which requires that a 10kg mass be withheld by a partitioning screen in a frontal collision equivalent to 48k/ph. This compares to the world leading Australian Standard at 60kg at 48 k/ph.
4. Milford recommends that you seek advice as to the fit and function of your Safety Net, as no guarantee can be made that your model will fit another vehicle.
