Roll Over Protective Structure (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. 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 such as 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 immediate service but may not render the unit
unusable. Examples are:
 Faded paint.
 Faded, hard to read ROPS label.
 Slightly corroded mounting hardware.
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 and
replaced.
