DOES MY EXCAVATOR HAVE CERTIFIED ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURE) CAB FITTED ON IT?

All Hydraulic Excavators brought into South Africa are only fitted with FOPS cabs, The boom serves to a great extend as a protection for the operator in the unlike event if a HEX would roll over. Future Excavators will all have i ROPS  (Integrated ROPS cab) as a standard feature. What is important in a lot of operations are FOGS (Falling objects guarding system) which is available in three levels. The front screen protection guard, the roof top protection guard and both guards a full FOGS. All cabs and guard systems can only be certified by Caterpillar if purchased from Caterpillar.
