from the manufacturer, a ROPS testing centre may supply an approved frame, or test a home designed frame.
A list of ROPS testing centres is included in Appendix 2

thank guys i will make some calls.

Carl, Clarks workshop is at Brecknock Street, Archerfield, opposite my old shed.

A mate of mine had one of his employees roll a truck with a 5.5 t hyundai excavator on it. The cab was buggered, but he built a new one using RHS of about 75x50. I don't know if it's been certified.

Why do you need yours certified?

If You work on the principle of fully welded and bolted direct to chassis with high tensile bolts along with seat belt you ll be fine

I think Carl is turning over a new leaf - no more shoe less milling etc.

I think he's worried about havin every 'T' crossed and 'I' dotted so public liability and insurance isn't a problem down the track - is that right Carl?

na mate not going stupid.

ill have other blokes driving teh machine and it has to be certafied or im not covered by my insurance and a visit from the OHS people will see my worksite sht down untill it is certfied.

bludy red tape. if it was jsut me i wouldnt bother with a rops at all.

nice to have one to keep the dead branches and other widow makers of your head though , not fond of all this regulation , but surely keeps a lot of people employed ,stopping others from getting on with the job .

Yep there is a lot of bearocrats sitting behind decks right now developing obesity . diabetes and heart conditions working hard day and night to stop us irresponsible blokes squashing ourselves under trees or machinery . Such self sacrifice can never be rewarded and I bet its a real struggle to get them to take their big fat Govt salaries and perks .
