Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS). Design, Analysis and Test of an Improved ROPS for the Military 6000-Pound Rough Terrain Forklift Truck and a Feasibility Study of ROPS for the Military 20-Ton Rough-Terrain Crane.
Abstract
A low-cost roll-over protective structure (ROPS) for the Military 6000-Pound Rough-Terrain Forklift Truck was developed. The ROPS system is designed for use on new vehicles and represents significant cost and weight advantages over the retrofit ROPS as reported in Final Report 684-F-1. A feasibility study of ROPS for the Military 20-Ton Rough-Terrain Crane was conducted. The performance criteria for Pneumatic-Tired, Self-Propelled Motor Graders as specified in SAE Recommended Practice J1040 was determined to be acceptable for the crane.
