DVExperts have been evaluating, designing and manufacturing
Rollover Protection Systems (ROPS) for vehicles since the early 1990s. ROPS have been developed for all
types of vehicles ranging from All Terrain Vehicle ("Quad Bikes"), light vehicles (SUVs, wagons, utilities etc), small and large trucks and even combat tanks. DVE ROPS are currently being utilised throughout the mining and exploration industry, amongst others, and set the benchmark for rollover occupant protection. Their systems and methodology has also received recognition via the Bronze Award at the SAE-A Automotive Engineering Excellence Awards 2008. 
One of DVExpert's Range of Rollover Protetion Systems. This one has been specifically designed to cater for style-side utility vehicles operating in harsh mining conditions. DVExperts have developed a unique performance criteria for all of its ROPS designs, based on many years of research and
an understanding of how rollover really works. Our experts have been extensively published and presented on numerous occasions and in conferences on the rollover topic. Computer modelling, static and dynamic tests have been carried out for validation purposes, and the systems have been proven in real world crashes. No occupant in vehicle with a DVE ROPS has been seriously injured or killed in a rollover event. DVE ROPS for light vehicles are currently manufactured and installed by the following companies
