Tests and relevant regulations

• ISO 3471:2008 - Roll-over protective structures (ROPS);
• ISO 3449:2009 - Falling-object protective structures (FOPS);
• ISO 12117:1997 - Tip-over protective structures (TOPS) for compact excavators;
• ISO 12117-2:2008 - Roll-over protective structures (ROPS) for excavators of over 6 t;
• ISO 10262:2008 - Hydraulic excavators-Laboratory tests and performance requirements for operator protective guards;
• Other regulations

Results recording
During the test, data requested by the regulation (forces, displacements,..) are recorded in real time to immediately evaluate the distortion energy reached. After the test it will be released a test report. Tests can be attended by a Notified Body.

Preliminary design/verification
If requested by the customer we can verify/design the protective structure. By using Finite Element Analysis software (Ansys) we can simulate the exact behavior of the structure during the tests.
