Our mansafe adaptors allow minesafe caps to be installed on applicable Caterpillar and Komatsu machines. Along with all the benefits of minesafe caps, our mansafe adaptors use a one-piece design with safety features to prevent scalding incidents if seals fail, and they require less maintenance than other designs.
