We provide solutions for some of the world’s largest companies
In-house Design
Safety Devices’ in-house design team consists of multiple permanent stations equipped with advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing software (CAD/CAM), including SolidWorks, TubeWorks and PowerInspect. We support our customers in formulating comprehensive design briefs through careful research, identifying specific requirements and conducting feasibility assessments. This iterative design process can include:
- Concept Generation
- Preliminary Design
- Detailed Design
- Production Implementation
Our skilled and knowledgeable engineers routinely create, develop and optimise products accurately, providing our clients with access to a wealth of design techniques. Through 3D modelling, comprehensive measurement, assembly design, evaluation, data extraction and inspection we ensure the development of optimised products that meet our client’s needs.
Reverse Engineering
Product application, functionality and underlying principles are key considerations when undertaking reverse engineering. Through detailed analysis and evaluation of an existing component, we can expertly isolate individual manufacturing processes to establish key characteristics, enabling us to replicate or further enhance products.
Whether you are trying to emulate an original design for production, source a discontinued part or find a replacement for an obsolete OEM product (original equipment manufacturer), our designers are well versed in providing competent analysis and solutions.
Design for Manufacture
From the earliest stages of product design, we combine advanced software systems with our extensive knowledge to optimise manufacturing efficiency, through intuitive design and reduced complexity. Our ability to effectively understand different manufacturing techniques, materials and their limitations enables us to consider various design factors such as:
- Tolerance Definition
- Optimised Material Selection
- Compensations for Weld Distortion and Shrinkage
- Springback Allowance
- Fixture and Tooling Suitability
- Assembly Considerations
Our design for manufacture service encompasses all these elements to accelerate product manufacture, lower production costs and enhance overall quality for our customers.

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.
