ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are crucial safety features incorporated into heavy machinery to protect operators from potential hazards. ROPS is designed to maintain the integrity of the cabin structure in the event of a rollover, helping to ensure the operator's safety. FOPS is specifically designed to shield the operator from falling objects, such as rocks or debris, by reinforcing the cab roof structure. Together, these features significantly enhance operator safety during potentially dangerous situations.

How ROPS/FOPS is integrated into Hydrema Machines

At Hydrema, operator safety is paramount. Our machines, including dump trucks and backhoe loaders, feature cabs that are ROPS/FOPS certified, providing the highest level of protection in demanding work environments. Our wheeled excavators are specifically equipped with ROPS certification, ensuring they meet critical safety standards for rollover protection.

Enhanced Safety: Hydrema machines come with ROPS/FOPS-certified cabs, offering robust protection in the event of rollovers and from falling objects. This certification ensures that the cabins comply with stringent industry safety standards. For our wheeled excavators, ROPS certification is specifically tailored to safeguard operators against rollovers.
Certified Design: The ROPS and FOPS certifications confirm that the cab structures on Hydrema machines are engineered to endure extreme forces without sacrificing visibility or operator comfort. In our wheeled excavators, the ROPS-certified cabs provide strong protection during rollover incidents.
Durability and Reliability: Constructed from high-strength materials, Hydrema’s ROPS/FOPS-certified cabs ensure long-term durability and reliability under tough conditions. Our ROPS-certified wheeled excavators are similarly built to perform reliably in harsh environments, offering essential protection in rollover scenarios.
Compliance with Standards: Hydrema’s commitment to ROPS/FOPS certifications aligns with international safety standards, ensuring our equipment meets the most stringent regulations. Our wheeled excavators, with their ROPS certification, also comply with these rigorous safety norms, making them a reliable choice for operators.

By certifying all our machine cabs—whether ROPS/FOPS for most models or specifically ROPS for wheeled excavators—Hydrema ensures essential protection for operators to work safely in challenging environments. Our commitment to safety, alongside our dedication to quality and innovation, ensures that Hydrema machines continue to be reliable and trusted tools in various industries.
