In high impact areas, such as around the head and within range of helmet contact, high-density roll cage padding is usually mandatory. Standard padding is also available for door bars and lower impact areas, although this is not always a necessity. We recommend liaising with your race officials to obtain further details on mandatory padding requirements for your chosen race.

As long as the roll cage is undamaged, our bolt-in roll cages can be transferred to another vehicle of the same model and specification. To facilitate this transition, new floor plates will be needed to replace those welded to the original shell, and we strongly recommend replacing the nuts, bolts, and washers for optimum safety. You can conveniently purchase fitting kits through our Spares and Accessories shop. However, please note that our weld-in roll cages are not transferable once installed in a vehicle.

Yes, we do offer on-site roll cage installations, however these are dependent on our workshop availability. For a quotation, please contact our sales team who can assist your further.

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.

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.

There is a common misconception that T45 is lighter than E355+N / CDS, however, their density is almost identical. However, given that T45 has a tensile strength approximately twice that of the standard CDS (E355+N), if we are conducting stress analysis and homologating a roll cage, we can optimise the design and use a thinner gauge (wall thickness) material, therefore offering a weight saving over a conventional CDS (E355+N) design.

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.

Yes, our Explorer roof rack range has been designed to accommodate most brands of roof tents. However, please note that our Expedition roof rack range is not suitable for use with roof tents or intended for that purpose.

With the exception of our G4 Expedition roof racks, most of our roof racks are designed for seamless installation onto our roll cages using a specialised fixing system. To ensure compatibility, please refer to the product listings or reach out to our team for assistance.

Providing both vehicles are the same model and spec, in the majority of cases our roof racks can be swapped straight across with no replacement parts required. We recommend ensuring that customers appropriately retain all brackets, bolts and washers to enable effective reinstallation.

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.

The term means that the roll cage has obtained FIA Homologation through the UK ASN, Motorsport UK. The certified design does therefore not need to comply to current Motorsport UK or FIA regulations due to “grandfather rights” of the homologation certificate (certificate copies can be purchased from Motorsport UK).

This term means that the roll cage design, material grade and dimensions comply to Motorsport UK regulations at date of publication, and therefore do not require a homologation certificate. We advise that customers check eligibility with their event organiser and obtain the relevant product specification sheets to confirm roll cage compliance, prior to ordering. Please note, Safety Devices cannot be held liable for Motorsport UK regulation changes that may result in roll cages becoming non-compliant.

This term means that the roll cage does not, or no longer complies to current Motorsport UK or FIA regulations, therefore cannot be used for competition use.

This term means that the roll cage complies to FIA Appendix K regulations at date of publication. We recommend that all customers check regulations with their event organiser, and obtain product specification sheets to confirm roll cage compliance prior to purchasing the roll cage.

This is term generally used for our USA specification roll cages. It means that we recommend customers check local regulations, and obtain product specification sheets to confirm roll cage compliance prior to purchasing a roll cage.

This term means that the roll cage has obtained FIA Homologation through the UK ASN, Motorsport UK. However the FIA Homologation certificate can only be issued by Safety Devices upon approval of the roll cage installation (charges apply). Please contact Safety Devices prior to installation if a homologation certificate is required.

This term means that the roll cage has been Nationally Homologated by Motorsport UK. However the National Homologation certificate can only be issued by Safety Devices upon approval of the roll cage installation (charges apply). Please contact us prior to installation if a homologation certificate is required.

In high impact areas, such as around the head and within range of helmet contact, high-density roll cage padding is usually mandatory. Standard padding is also available for door bars and lower impact areas, although this is not always a necessity. We recommend liaising with your race officials to obtain further details on mandatory padding requirements for your chosen race.

Our roll cage padding is designed to be installed using an adhesive – such as Sikaflex 252 – to bond it to the roll cage tube, or you can fix padding via cable ties. Please refer to the General Fitting Guidelines in the below PDF for further details.

As long as the roll cage is undamaged, our bolt-in roll cages can be transferred to another vehicle of the same model and specification. To facilitate this transition, new floor plates will be needed to replace those welded to the original shell, and we strongly recommend replacing the nuts, bolts, and washers for optimum safety.
