This Thwaites ROPS pin (HTS Spares part HTL2356) is a precision-matched replacement for OEM part number T19522, designed to keep the Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) frame correctly secured on various Thwaites dumpers. Measuring 25mm in diameter and 123mm in length, it is supplied complete with a retaining lynch pin and chain to prevent accidental withdrawal during operation. ROPS - Roll Over Protection Systems - are designed specifically to protect operators should machinery overturn, which is the most common accident within the UK construction industry. Keeping this pin correctly fitted and in good condition is therefore not a minor maintenance task - it is a direct safety obligation for plant operators, hire companies, and site managers alike.
The HSE's guidance under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) is clear: where there is a risk of rollover, a suitable protective structure such as a ROPS must be provided, with sufficient clearance for the operator. For folding or removable ROPS frames - as found on many Thwaites dumpers - the ROPS pin is the critical fastening that holds the entire structure in its operational position. ROPS is especially important when working on uneven ground, steep banks, or soft surfaces - basically anywhere tipping is a risk - and in the UK it is required under HSE rules for most plant used on site. A worn, missing, or incorrect pin compromises the integrity of the whole system. Sourcing the correct specification replacement - 25 x 123mm, to Thwaites OEM standard T19522 - ensures a secure, compliant fit with no guesswork. HTS Spares stocks this pin for fast UK despatch, keeping your fleet safe and your plant back on site with minimal downtime.
