The family

## Guards & Operator Protection

The hazards around a machine come from every direction: falling objects, whipping scrub, impacts and the daily traffic of people climbing on and off. This family covers protective guarding and access, from OPG packages and vandal guards to sweeps, window protection, bumprails, handrails and walkway systems.

### Operator protective guards

OPG packages engineered to ISO 10262 Level I and Level II for falling and penetrating objects.

### Sweeps and window protection

Forestry guarding to ISO 8084, dozer sweeps, screens and window protection for timber country and high-risk work.

### Access done right

Handrails, walkways, stairways and hydraulic stair systems designed to AS 1657, new-fit or retro-fit.

### Vandal and impact protection

Vandal guards, track guards and bumprails that keep the machine working between shifts.
