Operator Cabin

The cabin is the operator's workplace on the upper structure of the crane. It puts the operator at the controls with a direct view of the hook, the load and the site.

Construction

A welded steel frame with safety glass on the working sides, insulated and, on many models, air-conditioned. Fitted with the seat, control console, door with an interlock, and lighting.

Role on the crane

The cabin protects the operator from weather and height while keeping visibility on the load, so lifts can be judged and controlled accurately.

Inspection and maintenance

• Check glass, door latch and interlock for security and function.
• Check the seat, fixing bolts and attachment to the structure.
• Test lighting, electrical fittings and, where fitted, air-conditioning.
