R-O-P-S ROPS stands for Rollover Protective Structure. ROPS are protective frames or enclosures installed on certain types of heavy equipment, such as tractors, to protect the operator in the event of a vehicle rollover. The purpose of ROPS is to create a survival space around the operator and prevent the operator from being crushed if the vehicle rolls over. ROPS are an important safety feature on many types of heavy machinery to reduce the risk of injury or death in rollover accidents.

TRACTOR TRAILER HAUL TRUCKS SAFETY Thank you MSHA for sharing the valuable learnings from this tragedy. It also applies to many other applications involving tractor trailer haul trucks On January 2, 2024, the driver of an over the road tractor-trailer haul truck died when the trailer tipped over onto the cab of the tractor. The driver was dumping part of the load of gravel from the trailer. Between 2018 and 2024, mine operators reported 14 injury accidents where over the road trucks tipped or rolled over while dumping. During the same period, miners were also injured when 28 off-road mine haul trucks tipped or rolled over. The accidents can be prevented with proper training and following best practices: Best Practices: Dump only on level surfaces, free of spillage. Make sure elevated dump sites are substantial and equipped with adequate dump point restraints.  Keep your truck and trailer in a straight line when backing up and never move faster than walking speed. Avoid dumping in high or gusty wind conditions. Stay in the cab with your seatbelt on during the dumping process. Never attempt to exit or jump from an overturning truck. After dumping, remove any compacted material before reloading the truck. Evenly distribute the load and use antifreeze in cold weather to prevent material from freezing and sticking in the truck bed. Never overload trucks or trailers.

Background : A 65-year-old farmer has been killed when his tractor reversed over him. The tractor motor was running and in neutral while the farmer attached the hay rake to the back of the tractor. While the tractor was running, the shuttle gear selection lever inside the cabin was knocked from neutral to reverse, running over the farmer. The investigation identified that the tractor was an older piece of machinery, with a worn shuttle shift gear selection lever. Recommended ways to controlling risks : Many tractor-related deaths and injuries involve tractor run-over. These are often a result of poor practices. Select safe tractors (powered mobile plant) that include features such as: Interlocking functions are provided to ensure the tractor or other powered mobile plant is prevented from moving when an operator is not in control. These can include a combination of seat, handbrake, seatbelt and gear selector interlocks to prevent unintended movement. Check that steps, rails and guarding to ensure that when the operator steps off the tractor they are outside the rear wheel track. When leaving tractors you should ensure it is left in a safe condition by: Parking in a safe location (including on a flat level ground where practicable). Ensure the gearbox is in park or neutral. Ensure the handbrake is always applied. Attachments, such as front end loaders, are grounded. Regular tractor maintenance and repair should include: Inspections and schedule maintenance are conducted by a competent person regularly, in accordance with the operator's manual or at least annually and prior to seasonal use. Maintenance schedules should increase as the tractor ages.Routine maintenance and adjusting of the brakes and brake controls to ensure they are effective for all terrain and strong enough to restrain movement of the tractor. Routine maintenance of the shuttle shift gear selector mechanisms on tractors to prevent accidental selection. https://lnkd.in/dfnFrhDM #WorkSafeVictoria

Yes Found one, Few days ago, i shared my opinion on Factory Fitted Front loaders for our Indian tractors. i couldn't able to leave it. I don't own a tractor but this thing is continuously running in my mind. here is what i found on YouTube "https://lnkd.in/gB6MyNB2". a simple front linkage similar to rear one. it does not need any automatic draft controls. even though it will be more versatile than rear 3-point linkage. we can do material handling for a short height, Dosing and more. also, this don't affect your vehicle appearance negatively. Some tractors like TAFE - Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited MF 254 DynaSmart comes with additional factory fitted spool valve. so, we can easily power and control the front linkage. i thing this will be cost effective than a front loader attachment, am i ?
