Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS) provide the operator with protection from a 360-degree rollover. Falling Object Protective Structures (FOPS) provide the operator with protection from falling objects, such as rocks. Protection is provided by the structure and its mountings absorbing energy from the incident, and may allow for a certain amount of deformation. Seatbelts must be provided and should be worn by all operators of self-propelled mobile mechanical plant, and are an integral component of the protective structure. Certification of the machine ROPS, or FOPS is provided to customers after extensive design and testing has been completed. This certification process is designed to ensure maximum operator protection.

ROPS Australia undergoes a strict process of examining the following to meet the specific standards and regulations:
Structure strength/deflection, operator size, a safety zone (DLV) around the operator, access systems, zones of reach and comfort, operator retention, seat suspension, seat index point, sound, vibration, visibility and ventilation.

ROPS AUSTRALIA specialise in the exclusive fitment of custom designed ROPS/FOPS, destructively tested to exceed standards AS 2294.2/3-1997 and ISO 3471/3449-2008
