External ROPS – Minecorp Safety Cell

Engineered from light weight, high tensile, Cold Drawn (CD) tube, ROPS is manufactured from the latest Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) mandrel bending technology.

Roll overs can occur through speed, cornering, driver inexperience, sub-standard road conditions, overloaded vehicles, fatigue, collision with another vehicle or object and traversing a critical slope. These accidents can happen to the most experienced drivers regardless of the time of day and on any surface.

Without roll over protection, the strength to weight ratio of the structure above the dashboard is insufficient to maintain adequate occupant survival space ie. the roof caves in and crushes the occupants. Minecorp has designed and manufactured an external roll over protection system that not only helps maintain the occupants’ survival space but does not effect the vehicle’s centre of gravity, does not inhibit the occupants’ cabin space and complies with the Australian National Code of Practice (LH8, LK9 and installed in compliance to LK10).

The external ROPS is mounted to the chassis at four points and incorporates provisions for high lights, work lights and beacons as well as tie down bars, flags  and aerials.
