Guarding Recommendation Orange Peel Grapples used in hazardous applications like scrap and material handling can create a need for special operator guarding due to flying objects. When using an Orange Peel Grapple, additional protective

devices such as a front screen, Falling Object Guarding System (FOGS, includes top and front guarding), thick polycarbonate windshields or a combination of these is recommended by Caterpillar. Contact your Cat dealer for operator guarding options on your machine.
