T&T Tubecraft Ltd quote a busy start to 2025 with the latest batch of bends from 101.6mm O/D x 8mm wall thickness S355 bent on a 4D radius soon to leave its works.
These bends are for a major UK manufacture of land moving equipment and are used for their ROPS frames (Roll Over Protection Structure).
What Are ROPS?
ROPS are safety features designed for land-moving machinery (such as bulldozers, excavators, tractors, or other heavy equipment) to protect the operator in case of a rollover. These structures are often mandated by safety standards and regulations in many countries.
Key Features of ROPS – Structural Integrity:
Built to withstand significant stress and prevent crushing during rollovers.
Made of reinforced steel or other high-strength materials.
Importance of ROPS in Land-Moving Equipment:
Prevents fatal injuries during rollovers by maintaining a protective zone around the operator.
Significantly reduces workplace accidents on uneven or unstable terrain.
