ROPS/FOPS/TOPS certified manufacturing
ABT Products provides industry-recognised safety evaluations and testing for specialist structures designed to protect operators in demanding working environments. With in-house testing facilities and advanced FEA (Finite Element Analysis) capability, we help OEMs prove performance, improve efficiency and deliver safer machinery with confidence.
Ensuring operator safety while using mechanical equipment is of paramount importance, particularly for vehicles and machines that operate in hazardous environments or on uneven terrain. Safety structures are often the last line of defence in a rollover, tip-over, or falling object event, which is why ABT takes a rigorous, engineering-led approach to both design and testing.
In-house facilities supported by advanced FEA
Our testing capability is backed by advanced FEA packages that support analysis-led development. This allows us to optimise designs and, where appropriate, utilise high tensile materials to achieve strong, compliant structures with significant reductions in weight and cost. It also supports a more efficient route from concept to validation, helping customers reduce development risk and achieve consistent results.
Safety testing protocols
ABT delivers recognised safety testing aligned with common international protective-structure requirements, including:
These safety evaluations are critical for machinery where operators may be exposed to hazards such as rollovers, tip overs, or impacts from falling objects during normal work.
Our focus is on delivering solutions that are not only compliant and robust, but also practical for production and fit for real working conditions. ABT provides efficient, effective products and services that support both safety and manufacturability.
Design Capabilities
Destructive testing capability
Where required, ABT has the facilities and capability to perform destructive testing. This is essential for proving structural performance and validating safety installations under controlled conditions, helping provide clear evidence of compliance and performance for OEM programmes.
Testing can be complex, particularly when it involves safety-critical structures and varied machine applications. ABT’s approach is built to make the process straightforward for customers, from analysis and preparation through to testing and reporting.
