 FAQ

 

Q. Can I buy my ROPS direct from Safety Devices?

Yes, we sell direct to Companies and other organisations looking to upgrade their fleets.

Q. Is there a retail price for Safety Devices ROPS?

We have a fixed pricing structure and will quote depending on volume.

Q. Which standards do your ROPS meet and how can I be sure?

We have two levels of ROPS for 4x4 vehicles.  “Heavy duty” is our top specification (minimum gross vehicle weight -7.5x vertically, 5.5x longitudinally and 1.5x laterally). Safety Devices “General Purpose”  isdesigned to a lesser strength, with lesser components, but still adequate for most situations.

Q. Does your ROPS meet the OGP international standard?

Our “Heavy Duty” specification ROPS meets the previous Oil and Gas Producers standard, although OGP no longer give guidance.

Q. Does Safety Devices have to install the ROPS for it to be certified?

If you want a fully certified ROPS on your vehicle it will have to be installed by one of our installers or by someone who has been trained by Safety Devices to install.

Q. Can my vehicle import/exporter buy your cage and have it installed before it is shipped out to me?

Yes, this is often the cheapest and most efficient way of sending ROPS outside of Europe. It avoids excessive customs charges, reduces shipping costs and is often cheaper and easier to install.

Q. Is a vehicle with a roll cage considered road worthy in my country?

Each country has its own rules regarding modifications to vehicles and so you will need to check with your local Road Transport Authority. In the UK, aftermarket ROPS are legal for road usage.

Q. Do I need padding on internal parts of the ROPS?

Flame retardant impact padding is recommended on all internal parts of the ROPS above shoulder level.  This reduces the risks of injury to occupants in an accident.

Q. Why are there two standards of ROPS available?

One is higher grade for use in oil and gas exploration to meet international standards, the other “general purpose”  ROPS is suitable for use in most other applications.
