A half-inch polycarbonate shield is the recommended size to use when running heavy-duty attachments to protect the operator from flying projectiles.

Safety that’s built in
Operator safety is a top priority, so it’s widely recommended to use a minimum one-half-inch polycarbonate shield when running heavy-duty attachments. This high-impact protective barrier offers superior strength and shatter resistance, making it one of the most effective ways to help prevent injuries caused by flying material, wood chips, and other projectiles.
Polycarbonate solutions are engineered to outperform standard cab glass and are designed to help operators stay protected without sacrificing visibility. The heavy-duty layer not only absorbs impact but also reduces glare, blocks dust, and deflects branches.
“Whether managing overgrown brush, tackling roadside maintenance, or operating in unpredictable environments, it helps crews stay safe and focused no matter the challenge,” Cleveringa added.
Durability in the field
Diamond Mowers’ polycarbonate solutions are engineered to handle the toughest outdoor environments. Each kit is engineered to match the dimensions and contours of a machine’s cab, ensuring a secure fit that stands up to long hours, heavy workloads, and the demanding nature of vegetation management. Treated with UV and abrasion-resistant coatings, these panels maintain clarity and strength season after season, meaning less wear, fewer replacements, and lasting visibility operators can rely on.
“This level of resilience gives operators confidence that their cab protection will hold up season after season, no matter how demanding the job or environment,” said Cleveringa. “It’s the kind of long-term dependability that keeps equipment performing at its best, and crews focused on the work ahead instead of the wear and tear on their machines.”
