Some tractor operators have raised concerns about using ROPS in low-clearance environments, such as in orchards and buildings. In response, NIOSH developed an Automatically Deploying Rollover Protective Structure (AutoROPS) which stays in a lowered position until a rollover condition is determined, at which time it deploys to a fully extended and locked position.
An active rollover protection (ARP), is a system that recognizes impending rollover and selectively applies brakes to resist. [ 1 ] ARP builds on electronic stability control and its three chassis control systems already on the vehicle – anti-lock braking system , traction control and yaw control .
Continuing problems with vehicle roll-overs into the 1980s led the U.S. military to retrofit many M151 series vehicles with the "Roll over protection structure" (ROPS), a roll cage intended to protect both front and rear seat passengers.

Modern skid loaders have cabs, open or fully enclosed which can serve as rollover protective structures (ROPS) and falling object protective structures (FOPS). The ROPS, FOPS, side screens and operator restraints make up the “zone of protection” in a skid steer, and are designed to reduce the possibility of operator injury or death.
Roll cages help to stiffen the chassis, which is desirable in racing applications. Racing cages are typically either bolt-in or welded-in, with the former being more straightforward and cheaper to fit while the latter is stronger and more substantial. [2] A roll bar is a single bar behind the driver that provides moderate rollover protection.
The 60-day rollover rule is one of the many traps that lie in wait for investors rolling over a retirement account such as a 401(k) or IRA. You have to follow the rules exactly, or you could end ...
