When you’re towing, “close enough” doesn’t cut it. You want confidence that your setup isn’t just tough, but legal built to handle the tracks, the weight, and the long haul. That’s where ADR approval comes in.
What ADR Actually Is
ADR stands for Australian Design Rules the national standards that every vehicle and accessory has to meet to stay road legal.
If your tow gear isn’t ADR compliant, you’re risking fines, insurance headaches, and worse — an unsafe setup.
What It Means for the Novaa Base Station
The Novaa Gear Swing-Away Base Station has been officially ADR certified by Omega Vehicle Engineering. That means:
- 100% approved for use with standard 50 mm towbars
- Your factory 3.5-tonne towing rating stays intact
- Engineered, tested, and signed off right here in Australia
What You Should Know
Getting the green light doesn’t mean changing the way you tow. Your tow rating stays the same. The only thing that shifts is your ball weight allowance, which reduces by whatever you load onto the Swing-Away (up to 150 kg).
Why This Matters to You
-
Peace of mind on long hauls — no grey areas, no stress
-
No surprises with insurance or roadside checks
-
Gear that’s not just built for adventure, but proven safe for it
