CAT OEM Window vs HEA Guarding
For contractors working in treacherous conditions and areas devastated by wildfires and other natural disasters, access to robust heavy equipment is paramount. Manufacturers such as Caterpillar (CAT) build incredible machines to help move debris and rubble, but sometimes additional protection is necessary to ensure the safety and security of your most valuable asset – your people. Your CAT OEM window or CAT OEM windshield was built strong and tough, but if you’re looking for a suitable excavator window guard, Heavy Equipment Armor has you covered.
Ballistic Specifics
A traditional caterpillar OEM windshield is made from strong polycarbonate and is available in 1/4″, 1/2″, and 3/8″ thicknesses. It can protect against minor scuffs and scratches, but tough jobs often call for tougher solutions that can prevent tree branches, firey debris, and more from jeopardizing your life or the lives of your operators. Our HEA Defender Style Ballistic Window was built to stop a bullet, and can easily provide the protection you need for dangerous projects.
HEA ballistic windows are:
- 3/4″ thick to add maximum protection to your cab
- Made from strong polycarbonate carrying a UL 752 Ballistic rating
- Not milled or drilled – this means that they are far less likely to have micro-fractures that can lead to cracks or breakage
- Installed over top of the existing Caterpillar OEM window or OEM windshield to offer maximum protection (more than double)
