Functionality That Matters

What sets the 6P5173 GUARD AS CATERPILLAR apart is its dual-purpose utility: protection and accessibility. The guard protects internal mechanical parts—such as hydraulic lines, control units, or rotating elements—while providing a convenient access hatch. This panel is securely latched and reinforced from behind, enabling quick inspection or maintenance procedures without removing the entire guard.

From heavy rocks and loose gravel to mud, dust, and impact from worksite debris, this guard shields sensitive components from exposure and damage. Its strategic placement within the machine’s structure helps reduce the frequency of maintenance and mitigates the risk of costly downtime due to external damage.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation of the 6P5173 Guard Assembly is straightforward, thanks to its bolt-on design and pre-drilled mounting holes. Mechanics can complete the installation with basic workshop tools, reducing labor costs and equipment downtime. The removable access hatch simplifies routine checks, lubrication, or part replacements behind the guard, allowing technicians to work efficiently.

Maintenance needs are minimal. A quick wipe-down during your scheduled servicing keeps the guard in optimal shape. The anti-corrosive finish ensures that it retains both its strength and appearance over long periods of exposure.
