Canycom Roll Bar (ROPS System) is an optional safety accessory for the Canycom CMX ride-on brushcutter range, designed to add basic rollover protection when working on slopes or uneven ground.
It fits CMX models such as the CMX1404, CMX1810 and CMX2408, and is intended for users who want an extra layer of visible safety without stepping up to the CMX2406, which has a certified ROPS system built in as standard.
Added protection for slope and bank work
The Canycom roll bar is designed for users who regularly work on uneven ground and want additional rollover protection beyond the standard machine setup. It provides a fixed protective structure behind the operator, helping reduce risk if the machine tips or rolls back.
This makes it a sensible upgrade for estates, commercial sites and private land where brushcutting includes banks, embankments or variable terrain.
Where the roll bar makes sense
This accessory is most useful when:
- Working on gentle to moderate slopes where added protection improves confidence
- Multiple operators use the same machine
- Visible safety features are required for site rules or assessments
- Upgrading an existing CMX machine without replacing it
How it compares to the CMX2406 ROPS system
It’s important to be clear about where this roll bar sits in the range.
The roll bar accessory provides basic rollover protection, but it is not the same as the certified, foldable ROPS system fitted to the CMX2406. The CMX2406 also includes active safety features such as slope warnings and engine cut-off, which are not part of this accessory.
If your work involves steeper ground, higher risk environments or compliance-led safety requirements, the CMX2406 remains the correct choice.
Model-by-model suitability
- CMX1404 – A useful safety upgrade for estate and private use on uneven ground.
- CMX1810 – Well suited where selectable drive and added protection are both needed.
- CMX2408 – Often chosen when GX690 power is required but full CMX2406 safety spec isn’t.
Fitting and practical considerations
The roll bar adds height and weight to the machine, which should be considered for storage, transport and access. As a genuine Canycom accessory, it’s designed to mount correctly to the CMX chassis, but dealer fitting is recommended to ensure it’s installed and used safely.
Suffolk Mowers can advise whether this accessory is appropriate for your machine and terrain, or whether stepping up to the CMX2406 would be the safer long-term option.
