Bolted or clipped to a Yale lift truck, this shield acts as a protective barrier, blocking debris, heat, or incidental contact from reaching the component it covers. Guarding a specific area of the machine, it keeps grit and impact off the part behind it and extends that part's service life.
A shield of this kind is replaced when it has bent, cracked, or corroded to where it no longer sits square over what it protects. Match the shield's shape and its mounting hole pattern to the location it covers on your Yale truck, since a guard that does not line up on its fasteners will not seat over the area it is meant to protect.
