At National Plastics & Rubber, we prioritise solutions that advance safety and efficiency for heavy industry operations. Maintenance crews working on dozers face significant risks, particularly when performing tasks around the ripper arm. Recognising the need for safer, more effective tools, we developed the Dozer Ripper Frame Cover An essential addition to any maintenance operation involving Caterpillar (CAT) D10 and D11 dozers.
Elevate Safety Standards on Your Worksite
Routine dozer maintenance often requires makeshift solutions, such as timber blocks or heavy steel coverings, to plug the hole in the ripper frame. These temporary measures pose their own hazards, including risks of hand injuries, crushed fingers, and accidents due to the weight and instability of the materials. Our polyurethane Dozer Ripper Frame Cover is engineered to eliminate these issues, providing a secure and reliable work platform.
Crafted from high-quality polyurethane, the cover is lightweight (only 14 kg) and easy for maintenance crews to maneuver into place, even overhead. Once positioned, it fits snugly over the ripper frame hole, allowing maintenance staff to perform necessary tasks without the concern of stepping into or falling through the gap. This innovative solution supports workers as they reach overhead areas, hydraulics, and engine systems—whether they need to crouch, lay, sit, or stand.
Built for Reliability and Performance
Our Dozer Ripper Frame Cover isn’t just safe—it’s built to endure the demands of heavy industry. The cover features our patented high-traction surface to provide excellent grip, reducing slip risks while working. Tested independently and in real-world field conditions, the cover is load-rated to support up to 120 kg, ensuring it remains stable under the combined weight of workers and tools.
Compared to cumbersome steel covers, our polyurethane solution is non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, making it a safer, longer-lasting alternative. Its ergonomic design means maintenance crews can easily position it without risking strain or injury.
Commit to a Safer Work Environment
With the Dozer Ripper Frame Cover, sites can replace outdated, risky methods with a proven, purpose-built solution that enhances safety and efficiency. Lead your team toward better safety practices and reduce incident rates by investing in the right equipment.
