säkerhetsbur

A säkerhetsbur, often translated as a safety cage or roll cage, is a safety structure designed to protect occupants of a vehicle from injury during a crash. These structures are typically constructed from strong, rigid metal tubing. The primary function of a säkerhetsbur is to absorb and dissipate the immense forces generated in an impact, preventing the vehicle's cabin from deforming and crushing the occupants.

Säkerhetsburar are commonly found in motorsports vehicles, such as rally cars, race cars, and dragsters, where high speeds and the potential for severe accidents are inherent. They are also sometimes installed in specialized off-road vehicles or custom-built cars for enhanced occupant protection. The design and construction of a säkerhetsbur must adhere to strict safety regulations specific to the type of motorsport or vehicle application. This involves careful consideration of tube diameter, wall thickness, material strength, and the precise placement and welding of each component to create a cohesive and robust protective shell. Installation is a critical process, as improper fitting can compromise the cage's effectiveness.
