Fingertip controls and an automotive-like fit and finish

Current and potential customers are sure to appreciate what this cab has to offer…beginning with an isolated cab. These cabs are designed with robust mounting points that are integrated into the ROPS structure with a unique offset mounting design that provides an ultra quiet ride.

A 4 post ROPS design, carefully laid out interior, and fuel tank located under the left rear side of the operator's platform provide a full 360 degrees of visibility.Operators will enjoy a commanding view no matter what task is being performed

Raised header bar design allows customers - whether short or tall - to see the loader bucket or pallet forks through virtually the full range of operation

Operator fatigue caused by awkward bending is reduced, leading to increased overall productivity

The slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign can be easily removed and stored in the operator's manual holder to provide a clear and unobstructed view for attaching to implements and doing fieldwork

Ample headroom and curved glass on all four sides provides a spacious interior and gives operators the feel of a ''big tractor'' cab

Operators are well-protected from the elements with a high performance climate control system capable of a 30 degree temperature change within just 5 minutes.

Makes any task more enjoyable whether on a frigid winter day or a hot summer day
The cab is completely sealed and pressurized to further protect the operator from the elements

A standard high-efficiency ''clean air'' filter keeps even the smallest dust and allergen particles out
