Heavy Equipment Armor was founded by the owner of Advanced Forest Equipment, who engineered the first disc mulcher for skid steers. Being a mulching contractor for over 36 years, safety has always been a priority. That’s why he started designing custom and bolt-on guarding to protect his operators and machines. Too often injuries happen because a machine isn’t equipped to protect the operator for the job, he/she is asked to do. Because of this we have designed several different pieces of enhanced guarding that simply bolt to a machine to help prevent costly injuries and equipment down time. All these pieces are designed with a core principle of safety, function, fit and finish. Our product offerings include guarding for both Caterpillar hydraulic excavators and skid steers as well as Kubota and Bobcat current model skid steers..
