Analysis & Physical Testing
Offering rigorous analysis and comprehensive physical testing to deliver quality products and services.
We provide solutions for some of the world’s largest companies
Finite Element Analysis
Alongside our wealth of experience, we routinely perform in-depth analysis utilising powerful LS-DYNA and Genesis software. This service allows us to deliver rapid and dynamic analyses, leading to a more refined, proven, and optimised solution.
Our complex analysis can include:
- Stress/Fatigue Analysis
- Kinematic Analysis
- Static & Dynamic Simulations
- Roll Over & Falling Object Protection Systems (ROPS/FOPS) Deformation
- Seatbelt Anchorage Testing
- Durability Assessment
- Frontal Impact/Crash Testing
Our expertise in FEA ensures appropriate boundary conditions, mesh density and considered use of beam versus shell elements, to provide the optimum balance between efficiency and accuracy. Having conducted numerous physical tests over the years, our analysis incorporates an extensive calibrated material library to establish correlation with physical material behaviour.
Physical Testing
Our physical verification processes include extensive destructive testing, subjecting our designs to extreme conditions in order to validate prior analyses and ensure optimal safety and performance.
We have supported various projects through facilitating:
● Frontal Impact Testing
● Seatbelt Anchorage Testing
● Dynamic Roll Over Testing
● Static Roof Crush Testing
● Durability Testing (incl. battlefield mission)
● Falling Object (FOPS) Testing
Testing Standards
Renowned for our extensive expertise in industry specific and international standards, we are committed to ensuring compliance with the latest regulations including:
• Motorsport ROPS (Roll Over Protection Systems) Regulations e.g. FIA, Motorsport UK
• Industrial ROPS Standards e.g. ISO3471, ISO8082
• Industrial FOPS (Falling Object Protective Systems) Standards e.g. ISO3449

Which quality standards do you employ?
We are renowned for the quality of our products using only the finest, traceable materials, offering proven capability to fabricate roll over protection in line with various industry standards. To ensure that our products meet the highest standards for a wide range of project needs, Safety Devices are ISO9001 certified.
What are your roll cages made of?
The majority of Safety Devices roll cages are manufactured from E355+N Cold Drawn Seamless Carbon Steel. On a number of our internationally homologated weld in roll cages, we also offer T45 as an alternative material. More exotic materials (Chromoly, 15CDV6, Titanium) can also be used in some applications providing regulations allow, however the material costs of these can be significantly higher than E355+N or T45.
What is a roll cage or ROPS?
A roll cage or ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) is an internal or external structure installed on a vehicle, designed to protect vehicle occupants by preserving survival space during a rollover incident.
Can I buy products directly from Safety Devices?
Yes, well sell directly to companies and other organisations within the Automotive, Fleet, Construction and Military sectors.
What if I can’t find the roll cage that I want?
