The ROPS Repair & On-Site Check is Step 2 of the certification process, where our team comes to your machine’s location to perform and oversee the repair of its rollover protective structure. Rather than making you haul heavy, damaged equipment to a shop, our engineering team schedules a convenient time, supervises the repair on-site, and monitors the welder to ensure the work meets the required standard. Throughout the process, photos of the repair are forwarded to our structural engineer so the fix is documented and verified before it ever reaches final certification. In short: the repair is done at your site, under engineering supervision, and built to pass — not patched and hoped for.

This step is about doing the repair correctly and proving it, so nothing is left to chance. When our team arrives, here’s what takes place:

• Scheduling around you. We coordinate the visit to fit your operation and minimize downtime, then travel to wherever your machine is located.
• Supervised repair. Our engineering team oversees the repair of the ROPS/FOPS structure, ensuring the approach matches what the certification standards require.
• Welder monitoring. The welding is monitored as it’s performed, because on a life-safety structure, how it’s welded matters as much as that it’s welded. OSHA requires a repaired or remounted ROPS to be restored to equal or better quality than the original.
• Photo documentation. Photos of the repair are captured and forwarded to our structural engineer for review, creating a clear record of the work.

This combination of hands-on repair and engineering oversight is what separates a certifiable repair from a cosmetic one.

1. We confirm your machine is a candidate. This comes from your free pre-check, where our engineer has already reviewed photos and determined the structure can be repaired and certified.
2. We schedule the on-site visit. We pick a time that works for your operation and travel to your machine — anywhere in the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii.
3. We perform and supervise the repair. Our engineering team oversees the ROPS/FOPS repair and monitors the welding to standard.
4. We document and submit. Photos of the completed repair are forwarded to our structural engineer, moving your machine into the approval stage.

From there, the work goes to engineer approval and then final on-site re-certification — no shipping, no shop drop-off, no guesswork.

Moving damaged heavy equipment is expensive, slow, and sometimes unsafe — so we built our service to come to you instead. Repairing your ROPS on-site means you’re not paying to transport a machine that may not even be roadworthy, and you’re not losing days waiting for it to cycle through an off-site shop queue. Just as important, the repair is supervised by an engineering team that certifies ROPS structures for a living, so the work is aligned with the standards from the very first weld. That’s how you avoid the costly loop of repairing, failing inspection, and repairing again.

The welding is performed by experienced welders and monitored by our engineering team, because a ROPS is only as strong as the weld holding it together. A structure can look perfectly repaired and still perform poorly in a real rollover if the welds don’t meet standard. Federal rules reflect this: OSHA requires that a ROPS removed, remounted, or repaired for any reason be restored to equal or better quality than the original mounting. By monitoring the welding and documenting it with photos for our structural engineer, we make sure your repair is one that will actually hold — and one that will pass certification.

Once the on-site repair is complete and documented, your machine moves to Step 3: Approval from Engineers, where our licensed structural engineer reviews the photos and either approves the work or calls for additional repairs. After approval, we return for Step 4: On-Site Re-Certification, where you receive a metal compliance placard and a safety certificate signed by our engineers. Every stage happens without you ever moving your equipment.
