S.A.E. STANDARDS
ROLL-OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS)
FALLING OBJECTS PROTECTION STRUCTURES (FOPS)
OPERATOR PROTECTION STRUCTURES (OPS)
* MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS:
The integrity of the ROPS, FOPS, OPS structure and its continued ability to provide the level of protection
it was designed for could be seriously affected by any modications to the structure, its mounting or to the
chassis to which it is attached.
Tigercat emphasizes that the certication of approval of the ROPS, FOPS, OPS structure will become
void if any such modications take place.
Tigercat may ofcially grant approval for modications only by:
i) Written approval of repairs or modications signed by the Tigercat Engineering Manager; or
ii) Approved modications ofcially released by Tigercat.
Both of the above are provided that the work is carried out in the factory approved manner.
Unauthorized modications and/or repairs made or contributed to by a customer or a Tigercat distributor
may result in creating a dangerous situation and therefore the customer or Tigercat distributor will be
considered to have assumed the risk involved or be negligent in creating this situation.
Tigercat will not be held responsible for situations arising from having created unauthorized modications/
changes to the structure.
Operator's cabs are designed to ROPS, FOPS, OPS standards so that they will withstand force and
absorb energy during a roll-over (ROPS), when resisting the impact of a falling object (FOPS) and
minimize the possibility of operator injury from penetrating objects (OPS). When a permanent deection
of the structure occurs, the structure can no longer provide the original designed level of protection and
should be replaced. Attempts to straighten the structure, particularly by the application of heat, can
reduce still further the structures remaining capability to protect.
The mounting and the frame or chassis to which the cab is attached is considered an integral part of the
ROPS, FOPS, OPS and is included in the design, test and certication of the product.
Contact the Tigercat Service department before attempting any modications or repair to roll-over
protective structures.
