DIGGER GUARD®
CLEARVIEW
Ultimate Protective Glazing Solutions for Heavy Machinery
The Primary Cause of Costly Downtime
In high-risk operating environments, impact damage is the leading cause of cab glazing failure. When standard glass shatters, it puts operator safety at immediate risk and forces assets offline, driving up operational costs.
To solve this, DIGGER GUARD® has developed the first UK designed and manufactured removable secondary glazing system to protect primary cab windows.
Clearview Secondary Glazing: A First Line of Defense
DIGGER GUARD® Clearview custom-fit protective polymer panels mount directly in front of the existing cab glass, creating a robust, removable shield.
By absorbing heavy impacts and harsh worksite abrasion before they reach the primary window, Clearview prevents glass failure entirely. If a panel eventually wears down, it can be quickly removed and replaced, saving the fitted window glass and keeping the machine continuously operational.
Polymer Protection
Manufactured from LEXAN™ MARGARD™ polycarbonate, Clearview panels are virtually unbreakable delivering up to 250 times the impact resistance of glass, protecting cab windows from both high-impact events and ongoing operational wear.
Easy to install. Quick to remove. Non-destructive.
Clearview Secondary Glazing is designed to be removable with an intuitive "hang-and-lock" mechanism that uses existing fixing points on a machine cab to secure panels in place. No drilling or destruction to the body of the cab - no loss in machine resale value or warranty. Just a quick to deploy, no mess, damage prevention solution.
Other Key Features & Benefits:
First-Line Defence: Absorbs damage from hazards, projectiles, and vandalism to reduce downtime and costly cab window replacements.
Continuous Protection: Unlike toughened glass that shatters on failure, Clearview remains a structurally intact-impact absorbing barrier.
Ultra-Lightweight: 50% lighter than standard glass of the same thickness.
Effortless Handling: Lightweight no-metal frame design allows safe, easy installation by a single operator.
Glass-Like Transparency: Delivers zero distortion, unobstructed optical clarity with light transmission of up to 89%. Optional anti-fog coating available.
Advanced Hard Coating: Proprietary silicon coating provides abrasion resistance, preventing scratches, UV yellowing, and chemical damage over extended use.
Customisable Thickness: Available in multiple thicknesses to suit your application > gauges 8mm–12mm.
Temperature Resistance: Withstands temperatures from -40°C to +120°C (or higher depending on the formulation).
Total UV Radiation Blocking: The material acts as a near-perfect solar shield.
Easy to Customise: Design freedom to create bespoke solutions to meet your specific requirements.
Energy Efficiency: Reduced CO₂ emissions thanks to the lightness of the material.
Eco-Friendly: Environmentally friendly and reusable.
Precision fit, model by model.
Clearview Secondary Glazing panels are engineered to match specific machine profiles, with custom solutions developed in collaboration with OEMs and fleet operators.
Our current range of manufacture-ready Clearview panels are based on DIGGER GUARD®'s existing Vandal Guard designs allowing for quick ordering and ready-to-fit installation. Please see our Vandal Guard machine models listing here for current availability.
Protect Your Fleet. Protect Your Bottom Line.
Whether your machinery operates in agriculture, forestry, quarrying, or construction, broken cab glass means the same thing: higher risk, lost uptime, and increased cost.
Eliminate vulnerability > install Clearview Secondary Glazing as your ultimate first line of defence.
*DIGGER GUARD® CLEARVIEW Secondary Glazing is not a substitute for FOPS or other certified protective systems. Where risk assessments identify the need for such protection, appropriate compliant safety systems must be used in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.
