The Multiquip 2188 Guard Ring is a genuine OEM replacement built for HTX44 series ride-on power trowels and a broad range of Whiteman and International walk-behind trowel models. As a direct OEM part, it meets the same specifications as the component it replaces, ensuring consistent fit across compatible machines. This guard ring is confirmed for use on HTX44K4, HTX44Y5, HTX44Y4, HTX44K5, J36-M30 series, JH90C, JH55C, JS60C, JS36H90, JS36H55, JWN24HTCSL/HSCSL, JTNSW20, JTNS20, and JTO-Series trowels. When it comes to keeping your concrete finishing equipment performing correctly, sourcing the right OEM component matters.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to the same dimensional and material standards as the original, ensuring the ring seats and retains correctly within the trowel assembly.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Designed to install directly in place of the original guard ring without rework or modification to surrounding hardware.
- Wide Trowel Compatibility: — Fits HTX44K4, HTX44Y5, HTX44Y4, HTX44K5, J36-M30 series, JH90C, JH55C, JS60C, JS36H90, JS36H55, JWN24HTCSL/HSCSL, JTNSW20, JTNS20, and JTO-Series models.
- Protects Critical Components: — A correctly fitted guard ring shields internal trowel components from debris intrusion and contact damage, preserving blade and drive system integrity.
- Verified Multiquip Part Number: — Part number 2188 is the exact reference used by Multiquip service documentation, removing guesswork when ordering.
The guard ring on a power trowel serves as a protective barrier around key rotating or structural components, preventing debris, concrete slurry, and foreign material from contacting or fouling adjacent parts. By maintaining a clean operational boundary around the components it shields, the guard ring helps preserve the service life of the surrounding assembly. When a guard ring cracks, deforms, or goes missing, nearby components become exposed to abrasive material, which can accelerate wear and lead to more extensive repairs.
