FOPS Data Plate
If the machine is used in any application where there is a risk of falling objects then a FOPS (Falling Object
Protective Structure) must be installed. For further information, contact your JCB dealer.
The FOPS has a data plate attached. The data plate indicates what level of protection the structure provides.

A FOPS identification label
There are two levels of FOPS:
• Level I Impact Protection- impact strength for protection from small falling objects (e.g. bricks, small
concrete blocks, hand tools) encountered in operations such as highway maintenance, landscaping and
other construction site services.
• Level II Impact Protection- impact strength for protection from heavy falling objects (e.g. trees, rocks) for
machines involved in site clearing, overhead demolition or forestry.
