Since 2009, it has no longer been permitted to deliver any farm loaders with roll bars, since the European Machine Directive (2006/42/EC) in addition to the existing ROPS protection (Roll Over Protective Structure) also requires a FOPS protection (Falling Object Protective Structure). According to this directive, the operator must not only be protected from the machine overturning, but must also be protected from possible falling objects. | ![]() |
That is why at Weidemann all models from the 11 to the 17 Hoftrac series are fitted out with a permanently attached operator's canopy as a standard. However, if you still want to pass below through clearance heights of well below 2 metres, the permanently attached operator's canopy is usually too tall.
For a number of years already, Weidemann has been successfully offering the fold-down operator's canopy eps (Easy Protection System), which is prepared for a low clearance height with a few easy steps.

We sought after an even more convenient solution in the course of the design and development. The latest solution from Weidemann: The hydraulically lowerable operator's canopy epsPlus (Easy Protection System Plus)!
The optionally available epsPlus is a hydraulically lowerable operator's canopy, which the operator can operate from his seat. It solves the problem of low clearance heights and considerably facilitates work on the job. The epsPlus is a convenient solution with enormous time savings and high safety standards. The functioning is shown in greater detail in the video.
