Cab protection screen
what falls and what is thrown.
Synthetic image.
It stands between the driver and what falls, what flies, what bounces.
It is protective equipment:
it is chosen on the risk, not on comfort.
Other names for this tool: cab screen, front cab guard, roof guard, cab mesh.

What it is for
Right: front guard, it stops what is thrown towards the front.
What sets it apart:
it is chosen on the risk, not on comfort — the roof and the front do not protect against the same thing.
Computer-generated image.
Two distinct risks, two distinct protections:
what falls from above calls for a roof guard, what is thrown forwards calls for a front guard.
A machine working under a structure being demolished and a machine grinding wood are not exposed in the same way.
There are standardised levels of protection, corresponding to defined tests:
a protection is not simply present or absent, it is designed for a given level of impact.
It is that level that has to be set against the real risk of the job.
A screen fitted with no relation to the risk mainly gives a feeling of safety. A mesh will stop a branch and not a block;
a protection designed for falling objects is not designed for flying ones.
The choice is made on what you actually do, and it has to be justified.
We would rather refer you to a study than let you guess.
On which machine?
The protection screen fits on the cab, whatever the machine class.
The type of protection, on the roof or the front, and its fixing: we calculate them with you for your machine.
What the tool does
This equipment protects the machine's cab.
The standard, the protection level, the heights and the weight of the guard: we calculate them with you for your machine.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
The screen needs no hydraulic connection.
Your study sets the exact value for your machine.

Tell us what the machine does and what can reach the cab:
height, material, distance.
We would rather work this point through with you than offer you a screen from a catalogue.

What determines the choice
-
01 — The nature of the risk
Falling objects, flying objects, side impact:
each calls for a different protection. - 02 — The level of protection aimed at It is determined by the real work, in particular in demolition and forestry.
-
03 — The visibility retained
A protection that hides the work ends up being taken off:
the mesh and its layout count. - 04 — Compatibility with the cab Anchor points provided, door opening, emergency exit.
What is checked before ordering
-
The work actually carried out
Described precisely:
it is what determines the level. - The anchor points provided by the manufacturer A protection is not fixed just anywhere on a cab.
- Keeping the exits and the visibility A protected cab must remain a cab you can get out of.
-
The documentation supplied with the protection
It certifies the level:
without it, there is nothing to prove.
