B83 began ROPS/FOPS/OPS (Protective Structure) testing in 2020 following a strategic acquisition of specialized equipment from a local cab manufacturer that exited its in-house testing due to the need for specific expertise and to ensure compliance with the scrutiny of industry standards.  

Starting with three cab tests annually B83 has scaled to over 20 tests per year by applying its expertise in structural testing to build a trusted reputation in the industry, serving OEMs across off-highway, industrial, and specialty vehicle sectors.

B83 works closely with a seasoned industry professional specializing in cab design and structural analysis to support clients throughout the development cycle. This collaboration enhances B83’s ability to provide actionable feedback, optimize cab geometry, and ensure compliance with evolving safety standards.
