Earth-Moving Machinery - Roll-Over Protective Structures - Laboratory Tests and Performance Requirements
Scope:
This International Standard establishes a consistent and reproducible means of evaluating the load carrying characteristics of Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) under static loading, and prescribes performance requirements for a representative speci- men under such loading.
It applies to the following seated design operator controlled machines as defined in IS0 6165: - crawler tractors and loaders; - graders; - wheeled loaders and wheeled tractors and their modified versions used for rolling or compacting, dozer-equipped wheeled tractors, skid-steer loaders and backhoe loaders; - wheeled industrial tractors; - the tractor portion (prime mover), of tractor scrapers, water wagons, articulated steer dumpers, bottom-dump wagons, side-dump wagons, rear-dump wagons and towed fifth-wheel attachments; - rollers and compactors; - rigid frame dumpers.
