Some tractor operators have raised concerns about using ROPS in low-clearance environments, such as in orchards and buildings. In response, NIOSH developed an Automatically Deploying Rollover Protective Structure (AutoROPS) which stays in a lowered position until a rollover condition is determined, at which time it deploys to a fully extended and locked position.

The Unified Series I (UŘ I.) was launched, with the models 2011, 3011 and 4011, with two, three and four-cylinder engines. In 1968, the Unified Series II (UŘ II) was launched. It included many innovative features for the time, e.g. the world's first safety cabin with rollover protection system, mounted on vibration isolators. The new cabin ...
An active rollover protection (ARP), is a system that recognizes impending rollover and selectively applies brakes to resist. [1] ARP builds on electronic stability control and its three chassis control systems already on the vehicle – anti-lock braking system, traction control and yaw control. ARP adds another function: detection of an ...
Tractor-related injuries account for approximately 32% of the fatalities and 6% of the nonfatal injuries in agriculture. Over 50% is attributed to tractor overturns. [43] The roll-over protection structure (ROPS) and seat belt, when worn, [44] are the most important safety devices to protect operators from death during tractor overturns. [45] [46]
