Safety Cell Internal ROPS
Safety Cell are leading manufacturers of internal roll over protection systems for the mining, civil and fleet sectors. They design and manufacture systems to suit light vehicles up to 4.5 Tonnes GVM. Minecorp proudly supply and fit Safety Cell ROPS.
Studies have shown that roll overs account for up to 34% of all fatalities involving four wheel drive vehicles in Australia. Comprehensive studies have confirmed that there is a direct correlation between roof crush and occupant injury. The forces experienced by the body during a roll over are generally not violent and in most cases are easily survivable – the cause of serious injury and death are generally the intrusion of the roof on the occupants survival space. Studies show that the A pillars combined with the bonded windscreen in most vehicles account for approximately 30% of the vehicles roof strength and rarely survives the first contact with the ground.
All Safety Cell ROPS are computer drawn (CAD) and CNC bent to ensure that every one is built to the highest standard. The ROPS are manufactured from specialised seamless roll cage tubing and jig welded to Australian Standard 1554. All of this is designed to minimise roof crush and reduce deformation of the cabin in the event of a roll over.
Safety Cell have designed and manufactured fit for purpose medium density roll cage padding (head impact criteria padding that meets Australian Standards Vehicle Safety Bulletin 5a and ADR 3/02). This is done to minimise the risk of injury to belted occupants in the event of a roll over.
