Integrated ROPS
There has been a push of late for integrated ROPS frames (i.e. integrated with water tank or tray). We have had several requests for such a product but have refused to develop this due to problems that may occur for our customers on site.
 Although initial build cost may be marginally reduced and at first glance may seem a good idea, standards state that a ROPS frame must be free from defects and if not must be replaced. At this point in time there is nothing defining the point where a ROPS frame ends and the integrated product begins, so according to the letter of the law a small ding or some corrosion in the back corner of a tray could render this ROPS as damaged.
 ATM Enterprises WILL NOT be integrating our ROPS frames with any other product at this time.
