Overview

A roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is a roll bar or cage frame that is designed to form a zone of protection around the operator of a tractor or other industrial vehicle. Tractor overturns are a major cause of fatalities in the agriculture industry, resulting at the national level in approximately 130 deaths per year.
