Procedure

ROPS testing involves mounting a ROPS cab to a representative machine chassis specimen, and fixing the entire assembly to a rigid test bed.

The test is conducted on the same test specimen in the following sequence:

  • Lateral load force and energy absorption
  • Vertical load force
  • Longitudinal load force

Loadings are calculated according to category and mass of machine. There must be no infringement of DLV in order to pass test.
