Expandable Pushing Shield (800mm – 1600mm) for Westermann WS800 Vario
Maximum Versatility for High-Volume Clearing
Why choose between a narrow scraper and a wide one when you can have both? The Expandable Pushing Shield is the perfect choice for livestock farmers who need to manage varied barn layouts. Whether you are navigating narrow 800mm cubicle passages or clearing wide-open collection yards, this shield adapts to your environment instantly.
As featured in the Machinery Nation review, the 1600mm width allows the battery-powered WS800 to punch well above its weight, clearing large volumes of material with surprising ease

FAQ: Pushing Shield Attachment
Q: Is it difficult to adjust the width? A: No, the shield uses a simple bolt/pin mechanism. You can slide the extensions out to your desired width and lock them into place in seconds.
Q: Can the WS800 Vario handle the full 1600mm width when it’s full of heavy slurry? A: Yes! Even at its widest setting, the 800W motor and 130kg machine weight provide the traction and power needed to move significant volumes. It is particularly effective for high-volume, lighter materials like straw and bedding.
Q: Does this attachment hook up the same way as the others? A: Exactly the same. It uses the standard Westermann pin-and-hook system, allowing you to swap from the Pushing Shield to the Feed Shield or Box Scraper in under a minute
