-   Truck (on-road) ROPS / FOPS308 designs
-   Excavator ROPS / FOPS262 designs
-   Roller ROPS / FOPS194 designs
-   Loader ROPS / FOPS153 designs
-   Other machine ROPS / FOPS94 designs

Why QMW

## Designed. Tested. Proven.

### Designed in-house

**Over 2000 ROPS and ROPS/FOPS designs** in our library, with new designs added continually. Every structure is modelled against the standard it must survive before steel is cut.

### Destructively tested

Loaded past the point of failure in our **NATA-accredited laboratory**, because the only way to prove a cab protects an operator is to break one deliberately.

### Installed anywhere

**QMW site crews install ROPS anywhere in the world.** From single machines to whole-fleet programmes, on your site and on your schedule.

### Supply-only ready

A **comprehensive installation procedure manual** ships with every ROPS model, so your own crews can install on a supply-only basis with full confidence.

How a structure earns its plate

## From load case to certificate

### Model the load case

Our engineers model every structure against the standard it must survive: machine mass, energy absorption, deflection limits.

### Break one on purpose

The design is loaded to destruction in our NATA-accredited laboratory. No simulation stands in for steel.

### Ship it with proof

Every structure leaves with the certification documents to back it. ISO 3471 compliance, documented end to end.

Also available: **certified ROPS cabin repairs**. Damaged protective structures assessed, repaired and re-certified rather than scrapped, where the engineering allows it.

Specifications

## Machine-specific by nature

Every ROPS is engineered for a specific machine, so there is no one-size spec sheet. Send us your fleet list and we'll return certified design availability from the library, or a design-and-test programme for anything new.
