Roll Over Protective Structure Services
ISO 3471:2008 ROPS for Earth-Moving Machinery
Specifies performance requirements for metal roll-over protective structures (ROPS) for earth-moving machinery, as well as a consistent and reproducible means of evaluating compliance with these requirements by laboratory testing using static loading on a representative specimen.
SAE J1194 ROPS for Wheeled Agricultural Tractors
Fulfillment of the intended purpose requires testing as follows: A laboratory test, under repeatable and controlled loading, to permit analysis of the ROPS for compliance with the performance requirements of this SAE Standard.
SAE J2194 ROPS for Wheeled Agricultural Tractors
Any ROPS meeting the performance requirement of ISO 5700 (Static ROPS Test Standard) or ISO 3463 (Dynamic ROPS Test Standard) meets the performance requirements of this SAE Standard if the ROPS temperature/material and seat belt requirements are also met.
Falling Object Protective Structure Services
Machines used in forestry and mining jobs require durability while providing protection from falling debris.
ISO 3449, level 1 and level 2 for a ride on earth moving machines.
Level 1 includes testing for the safety of small tools, bricks, hand tools, etc.
Level 2 includes testing for larger objects falling, such as trees, rocks, heavy objects, etc.
Equipment used in demolition, forestry, earth moving, underground construction, and mining need a level 2 FOPS certification.
ROPS and FOPS protective structures should accompany a permanent label suggesting what it was tested for and the machine's operating weight.
