Forestry Guarding, Sweeps & Machine Protection
ST Engineering designs, manufactures and fits heavy-duty forestry guarding, sweeps, limb risers and machine protection systems for excavators, forestry equipment and heavy machinery.
From our Kilsyth engineering and fabrication workshop, we provide machine-specific solutions for forestry, land clearing, vegetation management and other demanding applications.
ENGINEERED FOR FORESTRY APPLICATIONS
Protection Where the Machine Needs It Most
Forestry, land clearing and vegetation management can expose machinery to branches, timber, debris and repeated impact in areas not protected by standard machine configurations.
ST Engineering designs and manufactures machine-specific guarding and sweep systems to help protect the cab, upper structure, boom and other vulnerable areas of the machine.
Our in-house engineering and fabrication capability allows each solution to be developed around the machine, attachment setup, operating environment and type of work being performed.

DESIGNED AROUND YOUR MACHINE
Machine-Specific Guarding & Protection
No two forestry machines or applications are exactly the same.
ST Engineering designs each guarding and sweep package around the machine, attachment configuration, operating environment and work being performed.
This allows us to account for:
- Cab and operator protection requirements
- Boom and attachment clearance
- Visibility and access requirements
- Existing machine structures and guarding
- Forestry attachment integration
- Hydraulic hose and service routing
- Machine transport and servicing access
- Site and application-specific protection needs
Whether you need a complete new guarding package, additional protection added to an existing machine, or repairs and modifications to current guarding, our team can engineer and fabricate a solution to suit.
ENGINEERED & COMPLIANT
Built With Safety, Strength & Compliance in Mind
Forestry guarding and machine protection systems need to do more than simply look heavy-duty.
ST Engineering designs and manufactures guarding with consideration for the machine structure, operating environment, operator protection requirements and applicable engineering standards.
Where guarding forms part of a certified FOPS, ROPS or other operator protective structure, the relevant engineering and certification requirements are incorporated into the design and manufacturing process.
Our in-house engineering and fabrication capability means the complete solution can be designed, manufactured, fitted and supported locally through our Kilsyth workshop.
COMPLETE FORESTRY SUPPORT
More Than Guarding
ST Engineering can support the complete forestry machine setup, not just the protective structure.
Our broader forestry and earthmoving capability includes:
- Grab saws and felling heads
- Forestry attachments
- Excavator and earthmoving attachments
- Boom and arm repairs and modifications
- Hydraulic installation and modifications
- Hoses and fittings
- Attachment fitment and installation
- Custom engineering and fabrication
- Machinery repairs and upgrades
- Spare parts and ongoing product support
With engineering, fabrication, installation and after-sales support under one roof, we can help keep the complete machine working as it should.
