Certified FOPS & ROPS for Excavators & Heavy Machinery
ST Engineering designs, manufactures and fits certified FOPS, ROPS and protective guarding solutions for excavators, forestry equipment and heavy machinery.
From our Kilsyth engineering and fabrication workshop, we provide machine-specific solutions for demanding forestry, earthmoving, civil, demolition and land-clearing applications.
Engineered Protection for Your Machine
Forestry and heavy earthmoving applications can expose operators and machinery to falling objects, roll-over hazards, branches, timber and other site risks.
ST Engineering provides certified protective structures designed around the machine, its operating environment and the work being performed.
Our in-house engineering and fabrication capability allows us to manage the complete process from design and manufacture through to fitment, modification and ongoing support.

Every project is assessed individually to ensure the protective structure is appropriate for the machine and its intended use.
CERTIFIED & ENGINEERED
Designed, Fabricated & Certified In-House
FOPS and ROPS are safety-critical structures, which is why every ST Engineering solution is developed around the specific machine and application.
Our in-house engineering and fabrication capability allows us to manage the complete process from design and manufacture through to fitment and certification.
This includes:
• Machine assessment
• Engineering and design
• Fabrication and manufacture
• Machine-specific mounting systems
• Modification of existing guarding
• Installation and fitment
• Certification documentation
• Repairs and upgrades
• Ongoing local support
By keeping the process in-house, we can provide one point of contact from initial assessment through to completed installation.
MORE THAN FOPS & ROPS
Complete Forestry & Earthmoving Support
Our capability extends well beyond protective structures. ST Engineering provides complete engineering, fabrication and workshop support for forestry and earthmoving machinery.
We can assist with:
• Forestry sweeps and machine guarding
• Grab saws and felling heads
• Boom and arm repairs and modifications
• Excavator and forestry attachments
