Digger Guard at ScotPlant 2024

Digger Guard, a manufacturer of security and safety solutions for construction equipment, is gearing up to make its debut at ScotPlant 2024 (held in Edinburgh from April 26th to 27th) with its line of newly enhanced protective products.

Digger Guard will demonstrate new features and improvements to its award-winning Vandal Guard cab and windows protection kits, and the steel-surpassing capabilities of its Polymer Handrail systems. The patented Vandal Guards have undergone a significant transformation achieving a further 27% weight reduction and now featuring premium stainless-steel fittings.

The show will also see the manufacturer launch its latest Vandal Guard innovation – an optional integrated beacon lighting system in its streamlined rooftop storage box. The weatherproof box is a secure storage solution for the panels when not in use.

Polymer handrails
Digger Guard has also created polymer handrails that are 75% lighter than steel yet they exceed pull strength requirements. Surpassing steel’s limitations, these handrails are corrosion-resistant, self-coloured, and don’t need coated or painted. International handrail patents are pending for Digger Guard’s vibration dampening system that reduces part wear and replacement frequency.

Describing one competitive advantage is Digger Guard’s slogan “robust and no rust” – it’s a unique selling point that now applies to both its Polymer Handrails and Vandal Guard systems that universally use stainless steel fittings. Visitors can explore Digger Guard’s product demonstrations first-hand and engage with their knowledgeable team of experts at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh on April 26 and 27, Stand: Ave G, No 3.
