Protect workers and simplify compliance with Gorilla Guard, the smarter way to control swing-radius and crush hazards around mobile heavy equipment.
Gorilla Guard magnetically attaches directly to mobile equipment, instantly creating a highly visible safety zone that warns workers of potential crushing and pinching hazards caused by rotating superstructures. No ground setup. No constant repositioning. Just fast, reliable protection where it’s needed most.
Built to Support a Safer Jobsite
OSHA enforces strict standards to ensure a safe working environment—especially around heavy equipment. Swing radius hazards are a leading cause of serious injuries and fatalities, making proper hazard control not just important, but mandatory.
Satisfy Swing Radius Hazard Requirements
OSHA requirements apply wherever accessible areas exist in which equipment rotation creates a reasonably foreseeable risk of crushing or pinching an employee against another part of the machine or nearby objects. To mitigate this risk, OSHA mandates the establishment of a clearly defined safety zone.
These standards require:
- A designated Swing/Crush Hazard Zone
- Physical controls such as control lines, railings, or similar barriers
- Clear boundaries to prevent unauthorized entry into hazardous areas
Gorilla Guard Is the Solution
Gorilla Guard meets work-area control requirements by creating a visible, compliant safety zone that moves with the equipment.
- No barricade repositioning when equipment moves
- Magnetic attachment for fast, tool-free deployment
- Consistent hazard zone visibility around rotating equipment
- Reduced setup time and labor costs
- Improved worker awareness and injury prevention
Smarter Safety. Faster Setup. Better Compliance.
Unlike traditional barricades that slow crews down and are often forgotten or misplaced, Gorilla Guard stays with the machine—ensuring continuous protection and compliance throughout the job. Gorilla Guard addresses work-area control requirements for swing radius hazards—simply, effectively, and reliably.
