The use of equipment that prevents risk, or minimises further problems once a hazard has occurred, is vital to ensuring that you remain as safe as possible while travelling. The ExplorOz Shop stocks a wide range of products to assist you in this, and we have put together an easy guide to help you determine which products are applicable to you:

Accident Prevention



Make your Presence Known with ExplorOz Sandflag Kits
Sandflags are essential when driving in dunes, as well as on tracks with sharp crests. They are also a legal requirement when travelling in the Simpson Desert.

Don't get Bogged - Use 4x4 Equip Tyre Deflators
By partially deflating your vehicles tyres to a pre-determined pressure the footprint of your vehicle is increased significantly.
