Acker Bilt Ltd is your one-stop shop for tow bars, bull bars, side bars and side and rear steps – in fact, anything to do with protecting your work or family 4x4

Established in Auckland back in 1974 Acker Bilt is both a manufacturer and importer of a wide-range of equipment and specialist protection parts for motor vehicles.

Because the needs of the auto market have changed over the years the demand for a more diverse range of equipment has increased. 

Acker Bilt have adapted to these market changes by expanding the range of products and parts they manufacture. These days, for instance, the company is the auto parts manufacturer and installer of choice for a wide range of external car parts and accessories. 

Included on that list is;

• Tow bar manufacture and fitting.

• Trailer Socket Wiring.

• Bull bars, side bars/steps.

• Rear protection bars.

• Bumper replacements.

• Ute Wellside Liners.

• Sports Bars/Headboards

• Roof Racks and Accessories.

• External Racking Systems.

• Cargo Barriers.

• Running Boards.

• Bike Racks.

• Plus much more.

As well as making its own tow bars, bull bars (for pre 2013 models) and side and rear protection bars Acker Bilt supplies and fits Whispbar, Prorack and Yakima roof racks and accessories.

Acker Bilt is an Auckland agent for Wanganui-based Ali Arc and  a supplier and installer for Australian company ECB. While Acker Bilt continues to make its own bull bars (in steel and aluminium) for vehicles which do not require air bag certification, it has teamed up with  Ali Arc and ECB to supply a comprehensive range of air bag-compliant Nudge and Bull bars, as well as bumper replacements.

Tow bars are the other key area of Acker Bilt’s expertise. The company manufactures a comprehensive range of WoF and CoF-legal tow bars for cars, utes, and 4x4s as well as hooks, rails and tipper body locks for trucks and CoF-legal tow bars and towing/bike racks for motor homes.

An on-site auto electrician takes care of all trailer plug wiring for all vehicles. The company can also supply a range of towing accessories.

And if you have a van, Acker Bilt can supply and fit Whispbar, Prorack, and Yakima roof racks and accessories or manufacture a custom roof rack to better suit your individual requirements.
