Clearview – sacrificial secondary glazing for excavators and other heavy plant – has been launched by Digger Guard, the company behind the award-winning patented Vandal Guard range and polymer handrail systems.
Designed as a durable external sacrificial impact shield fitted over existing cab glass, the high-performance polycarbonate screen acts as a virtually unbreakable first line of defence against flying debris, vandalism, and high-velocity impacts.
By absorbing and dispersing impact energy before it reaches the original glazing, Clearview helps protect operators, preserve expensive OEM cab glass, reduce repair costs, and minimize machine downtime.
The new polycarbonate glazing solution is being introduced alongside two additional product launches – Sky Shield weather defender kits and high-vis polymer outrigger pads.
Sky Shield weather defender kits for open-cab machinery are fully removable, non-invasive and impact-resistant, glass-like polymer panels that are designed to protect operators from UV exposure, rain, wind, airborne debris, and fixed object hazards. Quick on/off versatility allows easy adaptation for indoor or outdoor use requirements.
The new high-vis polymer outrigger pads are designed to provide reliable ground stabilization for heavy plant and utility vehicles. Available as off-the-shelf and custom, brandable solutions, the pads can be tailored to specific site and application requirements.
All three new products will be on show at Hillhead 2026, being held near Buxton, Derbyshire, on 23-25 June. They strengthen Digger Guard’s commitment to improving safety, durability, and operational availability across the construction, agriculture, quarrying, demolition, and plant hire sectors.
Speaking at the launch, Digger Guard sales director Dave said: “The introduction of Clearview secondary glazing, alongside Sky Shield and our outrigger pads, demonstrates our continued investment in practical, high-performance heavy plant protection systems that improve safety, reduce costs, and keep machines working.
“As a design-to-manufacture partner, we work closely with customers to solve operational challenges through innovative, purpose-built polymer products here in the UK. This rollout is a major milestone in how far the Digger Guard range has evolved.”
