Performance Criteria for Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS) for Construction, Earthmoving, Forestry, and Mining Machines
This SAE Standard applies to the following off-road work machines of mass greater than 700 kg that are commonly used in earthmoving, construction, logging, and mining applications as identified in SAE J1116 JUN86 and designed for an-board, seated operator:
NOTEβAdditional machine types listed in SAE J1116 JUN86 may utilize these ROPS performance criteria if so directed by other SAE reports such as SAE J1042 JUN93. SAE J1194 MAY89 and SAE J2194 JUN93 cover agricultural tractors (defined in SAE J1150 OCT92).
EXCLUSIONSβ Machines whose use is predominantly, or entirely, in manufacturing plants and/or warehouses are specifically excluded. Rough terrain forklifts, 360 degree rotation excavators, and excavator based machines are also excluded along with rollover protection for the operator of an attachment with an alternate seat position from that used for mobile operation (for example, an attachment backhoe).
