Rollover Protective
Structures (ROPS)
Inspection Guide
ROPS, like any other safety device, need to be
periodically inspected to verify that the integrity of the
device has not been compromised through normal
machine use, misuse, age degradation, modifications,
or roll-overs.
Some mechanical discretion is essential, therefore
personnel who inspect ROPS need to comprehend and
understand the significance of issues like structural
corrosion, cracks, and deformation. Conservatism is
the essential rule – if in doubt, remove the machine
from service and contact the ROPS manufacturer for
assistance. Certain conditions will absolutely render
the ROPS unusable, examples are:
%Permanent deformation or twisting.
%Missing, damaged, or loose mounting hardware.
%Mounting hardware that is of a grade lesser than
specified.
%Any cracks in the structure (structural members
and/or welds).
%Significant corrosion.
%Modifications, i.e. unauthorized welds and holes.
%Missing or unreadable ROPS label.
%Applicable ROPS machine model not specified on
the ROPS label.
%Missing seatbelts.
%Incomplete/improper installation.
Other conditions may require imminent service
but may not render the unit immediately unusable,
examples are:
%Faded paint.
%Faded, hard to read ROPS label.
%Slightly corroded mounting hardware.
PAGE 9

PAGE 10
ROPS must be inspected immediately after any type of
collision, rollover or impact. If any damage is evident,
the ROPS must be removed from service, repaired
and/or replaced.
When a ROPS is removed or reinstalled, mounting
hardware must be examined for signs of over
stressing. Damaged mounting hardware must be
replaced with proper specification hardware before
placing the ROPS back in service.
Properly maintained seatbelts are essential to
compliment the operator crush protection designed
into the ROPS. All seatbelt and/or seatbelt anchorage
systems that show evidence of cuts, fraying or wear,
significant discolorations due to exposure to the
elements, heavily soiled especially with oil, grease,
or fuel, or any type of damage must be immediately
replaced, regardless of age.
Operators are to be instructed to properly adjust and
use seatbelts at all times.
