Abstract: The present invention is a dual door release handle and related mechanisms for use with cabs of industrial vehicles that an operator may reach from outside of such a cab in order to fully release a door that has been propped open in order to close it. The dual door release handle of the present invention includes a latching mechanism having a handle mounted on the inside of the cab that extends into the doorway such that it may be reached through the open door of the cab by an operator who is located outside and/or below the cab. A linkage is provided between this handle and an operable device associated with the release mechanism inside the cab. The linkage is operatively attached to the handle and to the release mechanism such that turning the handle causes the linkage to move the release mechanism. Movement of the handle pulls the linkage and releases the holdback holding the open door against the side of the cab.

Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle or machine cab slide and pivot apparatus for safely improving the view of the operator in the cab. The invention includes a slide rail assembly, a rotational assembly, and an operator compartment. The slide rail assembly is attached to and runs horizontally along a body of the vehicle or machine and supports a slidable carriage. A rotational assembly is pivotally attached to the carriage and to an operator compartment. The invention allows the operator compartment to safely traverse and/or rotate along the entire length of the slide rail assembly.
