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
• International Oil, Gas & Mining Regulations e.g. BP, Shell, ADNOC
• International Military Standards e.g. Def Stan, MIL-STD, DEF(AUST)

FAQs
Find The Answers You Need – Our FAQs are designed to provide quick and clear answers to your most common questions. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, our team of experts are ready to assist you. Simply click below to get in touch.
Do you have any technical drawings or data of the roll cage I want?
You can find detailed images and assembly drawings available on many of our product listings. If you require any additional information, please contact our sales team who may be able to assist you further.
Who can I contact for technical advice on your products?
If you require technical support with any of our products, please contact our sales team who will be able to assist you further.
Can I install my own roll cage?
All of our roll cages come with detailed fitting instructions, however this is a very complicated process that involves specific vehicle modifications including welding, cutting and drilling. Therefore we recommend that all cages are installed by professional or experienced personnel.
Some of our roll cages also require Safety Devices approval or installation in order to achieve homologation status. Therefore we recommend checking the roll cage product listings and our roll cage disclaimers for further details prior to purchase.
Are your ROPS built to certain standards?
We offer two tiers of standard ROPS for 4×4 vehicles.
Our Heavy Duty option represents the highest specification, providing impressive strength (minimum gross vehicle weight -7.5x vertically, 5.5x longitudinally and 1.5x laterally). It is a higher grade for use in oil and gas exploration, meeting international standards.
In contrast, our Safety Devices General Purpose ROPS are designed with slightly reduced strength specifications and components, yet remain suitable for a wide range of applications.
What type of padding should I use for 4×4 and off roading?
We recommend that all internal components of the roll cage be covered with padding, with particular emphasis on protecting high-impact areas, such as those above the shoulders and around the head.
