Safety Guard Options

!DANGER!

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety guards is strongly recommended when cutting. Specifically, double row chainguards should be used along highways and in areas where people may be present.

IMPORTANT: Not all objects will be stopped by the safety shields. Therefore, Land Pride recommends using extreme caution when cutting in public areas. It is best to operate the Rotary Cutter when no one is within 300 feet of the cutter.

Land Pride offers three types of safety guards to best suit your application: rubber skirt guards, single row chainguards and double row chainguards.

Rubber skirt guards are designed for light duty applications.

Single row chainguards are constructed with a single row of hanging chain links. They can withstand harsher applications than rubber skirts.

Double row chainguards are constructed with two staggered rows of hanging chain links. The second row provides an additional barrier for stopping thrown objects.
