SKY SHIELD™

Shielding operators from the elements

SKY SHIELD™ delivers made-to-measure, removable protective weather shields for open-cab micro / mini excavators, and other open-to-air ROPS frame vehicles. Operators are protected from weather, UV rays and dust, while benefiting from an impact resistant shield against airborne debris and other site hazards

Less exposure. More comfort. All-weather productivity.

The benefits of closed-cab machines can increase upfront investment by thousands. SKY SHIELD™ provides an affordable way to enhance comfort and protection - without the cost or permanence of a full cab. SKY SHIELD™ enables elective protection with zero permanent machine modification. The kit is easy to install and remove - giving operators the freedom to adapt to the job at hand.
