A spacer insert for providing spacing between a first structure and a second structure includes a head having a diameter larger than an opening in the first structure to which the spacer insert is attachable, a hollow cylindrical shaft coupled with and extending from the head that defines at least part of a connector channel, and a thread on an exterior of the hollow cylindrical shaft. The spacer insert provides a better thread engagement, is more economical to install, and is more reliable in service.

Spacer insert

A window or door system includes a window or door panel, a sidewall, and a frame bolted to the sidewall. In some arrangements, the frame is inverse U-shaped or O-shaped and includes a first channel for receiving the window or door panel. A trim member secured to the frame and extending across the U- or O-shape includes a second channel for receiving the window or door panel. A connector may extend through the trim member and the window or door panel across the second channel. The structure is configured to pass test requirements in ISO 8084, Machinery for Forestry&#x2014;Operator Protective Structures.

High strength window or door system

A trim assembly securable in a window frame includes a track on which a sliding window is supportable, a latch insert including a plurality of latch openings, and a latch mechanism securable to the sliding window adjacent the latch insert. The latch mechanism is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position and includes a lever connected with a latch tab. In the extended position, the latch tab is positioned in a selected one of the latch openings. The latch mechanism is biased toward the extended position. The spacing of the latch openings provides for essentially infinite open/close positions.
