A cargo barrier is a installed into motor vehicles to aid occupancy safety when carrying loads or domestic pets, (usually dogs) in the rear section of a vehicle. Other terms used for cargo barriers include: dog guard, mesh partition, load separator, pet barrier, and mesh grille. While they are not designed as rollbars, cargo barriers can also help prevent the collapse of a vehicle roof in vehicle rollovers.

  • A cargo barrier is a installed into motor vehicles to aid occupancy safety when carrying loads or domestic pets, (usually dogs) in the rear section of a vehicle. Other terms used for cargo barriers include: dog guard, mesh partition, load separator, pet barrier, and mesh grille. A cargo barrier can take many shapes and forms, but generally is of metal construction, fabricated or assembled with bars of mesh. The main purpose is to act as a barrier between the boot / trunk area and passenger area of various types of vehicle including; car, 4X4, MPV, SUV and commercial vehicles. It acts a method of restraining an animal or loads from entering into the passenger area either in normal use, or more importantly in the event of vehicle collision. A cargo barrier acts in many applications including; taxis, luggage / loads, fleet vehicle equipment transport, camping or where a requirement exists to maximise the full load area of the vehicle boot / trunk. This allows the cargo to be loaded higher than the height of the top of the seats, whilst providing an effective barrier between loads and the vehicle occupants. They are available in either Universal or Custom Fit specific to the vehicle. An advantage of the Universal cargo barrier is that it can be located in multiple vehicles without the need for modification. However, because of the increasing fitment of passenger car airbags and side protection systems, the custom fit barriers are becoming increasingly favoured to ensure a greater level of rigidity, safety and security. The world's largest producer of custom barriers are Travall; a UK-based company designing and manufacturing vehicle-specific barriers for over 400 different models. A good quality cargo barrier should consist of rigid fabricated steel frame with welded mesh insert, tough coated finish (i.e. Nylon Powder coating), supports mounted to the vehicle or the vehicle frame (to transfer any impacted load onto the vehicle chassis rather than rear seats) and easy fitment and removal. Universal barriers generally are a poorer fit and install, are cheaper and allow for multi-vehicle installation. Whereas tailored / custom cargo barriers are generally of a much higher build quality, are more rigidly installed, and provide better long term security. While they are not designed as rollbars, cargo barriers can also help prevent the collapse of a vehicle roof in vehicle rollovers. (en)
