Abstract
In contribution are compare two standards for testing the roll-over protective structures (ROPS) frame. The ROPS can be tested by different standards. Mostly used standard is the European Union (EU) regulation for protective frames of agricultural and forestry machines No. 1322/2014 for ROPS “Tractor” or ČSN EN ISO 3471:2008 Earth-moving machinery-laboratory tests and performance requirements for roll-over protective structures. The aim of the study was to investigate the protective structure of the cab of a truck MERCEDES 4 × 4, to cater for both European standards. Furthermore, the calculations were compared with Australian standard AS 2294.2-1997 Earth-moving machinery-protective structures. Also the laboratory tests and performance requirements for roll-over protective structures was made. Suggest a change ROPS a proposal to verify calculations deformation, stress, and energy loss when objects falling on the car cabin. The car is built into mining operations and large excavators an object may fall on a passing truck. Based on the calculations, the design of the cabin protection equipment was optimized by different standards.
