Cat 941 - ROPS ??

Try KENCO in Atoka OK. They make nice stuff and will know about mounting brks. 800,522 5231

Thank you!
will do!

Also, has anyone ever heard of someone building their own ROPS?
I have a buddy who is a metal fabricator and showed him what a ROPS consisted of and he didnt think it would be very difficult.

Is there plans/drawings out there I could see or purchase that has dimensions/layout of it?

thanks for any input!
Cheers

Hi, cptcrnch1.
As i understand it, a ROPS is not just a 'steel structure over your head'. A genuine ROPS - Roll Over Protection Structure - is engineered to take the weight of the whole machine falling on it from a height of 10 feet and remain substantially intact. As distinct from a FOPS - Falling Object Protection Structure - a ROPS is intended to take that kind of impact from any direction. This includes having mounting brackets that will take that same impact.

There were a LOTTTT of Cat 941s fitted with ROPS canopies. A few enquiries on the 'net may very well find one, mounting brackets and all. The 941 loader frame is substantial enough that the mounting brackets can be welded on without additional reinforcement.

Just my 0.02.
