The cage (2) has a multiple-part telescopic cage toe guard (1) including a set of panel-shaped inner and outer telescopic elements (10-13) that is moved from a retracted condition to an extended condition. Oblique portions (13.1, 13.2) of one of the outer telescopic elements form an angle with respect to a horizontal axis in the retracted condition of the cage toe guard. The oblique portions projected over a horizontal plane have a minimum width.
