Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original material and dimensional standards, ensuring the guard ring seats and functions exactly as intended on your trowel.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to drop into place on compatible trowel models without rework, trimming, or adapter hardware.
- Wide Trowel Series Compatibility — Fits J36-M30, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, JWN24HTCSL/HSCSL, JH90C, JH55C, JS60C, JS36H90, JS36H55, JTNSW series, JTNS20, and JTO-Series machines.
- Blade and Operator Protection — The guard ring forms a critical barrier around the trowel blades, helping to contain rotating components and protect the operator and surrounding structure during finishing operations.
- Verified Part Number — Ordering by Multiquip part number 2196 confirms you are receiving the correct ring for your specific trowel model, eliminating guesswork when sourcing replacement hardware.
A guard ring on a power trowel encircles the outer edge of the rotating blade assembly, acting as a protective barrier that keeps the spinning blades contained during concrete finishing. It shields operators, nearby workers, and adjacent formwork from contact with the blades while also helping to maintain consistent blade geometry as the trowel moves across a slab. When a guard ring becomes cracked, bent, or worn, it can compromise operator safety and allow the blade assembly to contact unintended surfaces, leading to uneven finishing results and potential equipment damage.
