Abstract

It is crucial to transport agricultural workers safely to the field or orchard to carry out agricultural activities. In our country, although it is not recommended in terms of security, transporting agricultural workers to field, vineyard-orchard is usually carried out with agricultural trailers. There are traffic regulations about transporting agricultural workers with agricultural trailers. However, both non-compliance with the regulations and the accidents that occur during the transport of workers with agricultural trailers that do not have a safe transport arrangement can result in severe injuries and loss of life. In this research, two different roll-over protection structure (ROPS) of the demountable-mountable seating arrangement models are designed for the safe transportation of agricultural workers. Developed models are analyzed using ANSYS software in terms of total deformation and stress parameters in the computer environment.
