Description
The Bobcat Loader has an operator cab (ROPS and
FOPS) as standard equipment to protect the operator
from rollover and falling objects. Check with your dealer if
the operator cab has been damaged. The seat belt must
be worn for roll over protection.
ROPS / FOPS - Roll Over Protective Structure per
SAE J1040 and ISO 3471, and Falling Object Protective
Structure per SAE J1043 and ISO 3449, Level I. Level II
is available.
Level I - Protection from falling bricks, small concrete
blocks, and hand tools encountered in operations such as
highway maintenance, landscaping, and other
construction site services.
Level II - Protection from falling trees, rocks; for machines
involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or forestry.
