Simulated ground planes and clearance zones with duo-folding ROPS meeting both ISO and OSHA ROPS standards.ROPS
The company was granted a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its new duo-folding roll over protection system (ROPS).
The duo-folding feature allows the equipment operator to adjust the framework depending on operating conditions while meeting the Occupational Safety & Health Administration safety standards for roll over protection systems.
Occasionally, the overall height of the roll over protection system interferes with the function of the machine.
For example, loading the equipment into a trailer or operating under trees can be challenging with ROPS in place.
In these instances, the operator will often fold down the ROPS to gain clearance. When the ROPS is folded the traditional folded ROPS does not provide a certifiable level of protection to any safety standards.
Custom Products’ ROPS meet the requirements for OSHA regulation 1928.52. With the ROPS in the up position, the protection could meet ISO 21299 or ISO 5700 certification.
The new design will allow for simple adjustment from the up position to the folded position and vice versa.
