  • Method of fabricating a roll-over protection structure
    Patent number: 8966764
    Abstract: A roll-over protective structure for a frame structure of a cab assembly including an outer tube and an inner tube disposed within the outer tube at a pre-determined location to define a composite tube. The composite tube has an upright support with an end portion, and a transverse support connecting the upright support to define a curved corner. Further, the composite tube may have a U-shaped configuration. The composite tube may be further shaped through a hydroforming process to achieve a desired cross-section at the pre-determined location. For example, the curved corner may have a first cross-section, and the end portion may have a second cross-section.
