Guarding Recommendation
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.
