Reducing the
Risk of Rollovers
Tractor overturns are among the leading causes of fatal injuries on American farms, claiming approximately 130 lives each year. Alarmingly, one in ten tractor operators will experience an overturn during their lifetime, and 80% of these accidents involve seasoned professionals.
The consequences of these overturns extend beyond personal tragedy, posing significant financial challenges; approximately one in seven affected farmers suffer permanent disabilities.
The impact on farm sustainability is also profound, with seven out of ten farms shutting down within five years of a tractor-related fatality. At our company, our mission is dedicated to confronting and reducing these risks, ensuring a safer and more stable future for the farming community.
Approximately 85% of All Tractor Rollovers Are Side Rollovers,
Which are influenced by the tractor’s center of gravity and centrifugal force. The center of gravity is the point where the tractor’s weight is evenly balanced, and this point can shift with different attachments or when carrying loads, such as material in a front-end loader.
To prevent rollovers, the center of gravity must stay within the tractor’s base of stability, ensuring the tractor remains upright.
Centerline’s flagship device aids with tracking the center or gravity and avoiding side rollovers.
