ROPS+ A Serious Safety Solution to the Changing Industry Standard.

The changing manufacturing standard EN474 2022: part 6, referring to front mounted dumpers, with an operating mass of over 3,500 kg & under 4,500kg becomes effective on February 1 st , 2025.
Thwaites dumpers in the 1-tonne to 4.5-tonne range will be below the
threshold and unaffected by the new standard.
Dumpers in the 6-tonne and 9-tonne range however will be affected.
The standard states:
“That these machines shall be provided with an additional means, to prevent the operator from being ejected from the overall dimensions of the machine”.
To comply with the standard, the 9-tonne Front Tip dumper will be offered exclusively fully cabbed only.
The 6-tonne Power Swivel and Front Tip dumpers will be offered with two fully compliant solution options.
Option 1: A Cabbed Dumper Option
Option 2: Fitted with ROPS+.
