 Maintenance Exclusive Guards for Forestry Cab and Body

Forestry Cab Guard

Keeping Cool
The radiator is well encapsulated to prevent its heated air
discharge, keeping the engine and hydraulic oil cool even in
high-temperature environments.
The forestry cab is protected with a cab guard at front, top
and rear for surrounding obstacles. The guard at the top
can be opened for emergency evacuation.
Body Guards
The body is protected with body guards on the top and both
sides. The top guard serves to protect the engine; and side
body guards to protect the radiator and hydraulic pumps.
Dust Prevention Nets
The engine and radiator compartments are provided with
dust-prevention nets to keep clean inside, reducing the
entry of airborne debris and dust.

The cab and body are electrocoated by electrodeposition practice

by electrolysis for corrosion protection. In particular, this coating is
effective at corrosion-prone points, such as flat surfaces, edges
and box structures. Also, this coating leaves no spattering traces
due to spray painting, keeping smooth painting finish.
