ROPS
Roll Over Protection System
Personnel Protection And Comfort Improves Logistics Vehicle Flexibility
This cutting-edge seating system prioritizes both safety and well-being. Our award-winning MouleTec® cushioning technology offers exceptional comfort, even in harsh environments and during extreme situations like rollovers and impacts. The robust ROPS frame provides uncompromising protection, meeting the strictest safety regulations.
Comfort and Safety
Our polycarbonate seats utilize innovative MouleTec® geometry to promote passive “unconscious positional control” for improved occupant comfort and safety. Removable and easy-to-clean cushions and backrests are available upon request. These Roll Over Protective System (ROPS) compliant seats can be equipped with scalloped lower back voids for seamless integration with soldier webbing.
Alternatively, the VSS lightweight crew seat offers a compelling option as a replacement for the standard polycarbonate seat. Rigorous vibration testing demonstrates a 4x increase in operation time compared to the daily maximum vibration dosage allowance. This translates to safer and more efficient transportation, with customers experiencing a typical increase in average safe driving speeds from 50 to 80 kph.
VSS engineers are dedicated to providing ROPS solutions for both original equipment and existing vehicle upgrades. Our expertise extends to all makes and models. Contact the VSS sales team today to arrange a product trial and experience the difference for yourself.
