DEFENDER

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the specifications and standards for protection structures designed to safeguard operators of earth-moving machinery from roll-over and falling objects. These structures, known as ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structures) and FOPS (Falling-Object Protective Structures), are essential for ensuring safety in machinery operations.
Specifications:
  • ROPS: According to ISO 3471, ROPS must withstand specific static loads to protect operators during roll-overs. For the DEFENDER model, the lateral, vertical, and longitudinal load forces are 259,000 N, 353,000 N, and 138,000 N, respectively.
  • FOPS: As per ISO 3449, FOPS must endure a drop object mass of 240 kg from a height of 5 meters, ensuring the structure deforms without crushing the operator.
Regulations:
  • Compliance with Directive 2006/42/EC is mandatory, requiring protective structures to provide adequate deflection-limiting volume during roll-overs or falling objects incidents.
  • Structures must be tested to verify compliance with these regulations.
Technical Specifications:
  • The DEFENDER structure weighs 600 kg, with an additional 380 kg for chassis fixing components. It is suitable for machines with a maximum mass of 18,000 kg.
  • The protection level for FOPS is LEVEL II, and custom structures can be designed for heavier vehicles.
Design Features:
  • The DEFENDER structure is independent and does not require modifications to the vehicle cab, ensuring compatibility with ECE R29-compliant cabs.
  • The roof-protection can be rotated for maintenance access by removing pins and using a manual hydraulic pump.
Certification:
  • The DEFENDER can be supplied with an EC declaration and conformity marking, indicating compliance with European safety standards.
  • For non-standard structures, a calculation report is provided without EC certification.
Company Information: The document is provided by Cantoni & C. S.P.A., a certified company under ISO 9001:2015 and UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 standards.

Where, in the case of self-propelled machinery with a ride-on driver, operator(s) or other person(s), there is a risk of rolling or tipping over, the machinery must be fitted with an appropriate protective structure, unless this increases the risk. This structure must be such that in the event of rolling or tipping over it affords the ride-on person(s) an adequate deflection-limiting volume. In order to verify that the structure complies with the requirement laid down in directive 2006/42/EC, the manufacturer or his authorised representative must, for each type of structure concerned, perform...
