DEFENDER ROPS&FOPS

(Safety OVER THE TOP!)

Protection structure for Roll-Over and Falling Objects (ROPS-FOPS rules).

Our DEFENDER structure is completely independent from the cab of the vehicle or any other equipment and it is fixed directly on the chassis of the vehicle. DEFENDER is compatible with cabs made according to ECE R29 (this regulation does not allow modifications on the cab, unless it is approved again with homologation tests).
