About
Precision Custom Cope Cage Fabrication
At Dengtai, we specialize in custom cope cage fabrication for military vehicles, MRAPs, light tactical trucks, and fixed defensive positions. Our engineering team works directly with your technical specifications to design and manufacture cope cage armor systems that provide maximum standoff protection against RPGs, FPV drones, and shaped-charge warheads.
Every custom cope cage begins with a detailed requirements review: vehicle platform, threat assessment, weight constraints, mounting interface, and operational profile. Our in-house fabrication facility utilizes CNC plasma cutting, robotic MIG welding, and precision jig assembly to ensure each cage meets exact dimensional tolerances.
We offer a comprehensive range of material options — AR400, AR500, MIL-A-46100, and Hardox 450/500 — paired with certified welding procedures (WPS) qualified to AWS D1.1 and ISO 3834 standards. Each fabrication lot is inspected via VT, MT, and UT to guarantee structural integrity.

Features
Features & Benefits
Tailored to Your Platform
Every cage is designed from your vehicle's CAD model or field measurements, ensuring perfect fitment on MRAPs, JLTVs, tanks, or fixed installation points.
Certified Weld Quality
All fabrication uses WPS-qualified procedures with AWS D1.1 certification. 100% visual inspection plus MT/UT on critical welds guarantees structural reliability in combat conditions.
Modular & Field-Serviceable
Damaged panels can be individually replaced using bolted connections. Field repair kits are available for rapid theater-level maintenance without depot support.
Optimized Weight vs. Protection
Finite element analysis (FEA) optimizes bar spacing, material grade, and structural geometry to achieve the best weight-to-protection ratio for your specific threat profile.
Multi-Threat Compatible
Effective against FPV drones, RPG-7, PG-7VL, RKG-3, and other shaped-charge threats. Optional ERA mounting brackets available for enhanced protection layers.
