Abstract: A housing can be mounted to a component in a cab of a vehicle; and a switch pad can have control keys, the pad mounted in the housing such that the keys are readily accessible to an operator of the vehicle during plowing operation such as shifting and/or steering. A securing member, which may be in a form of a strap system, may be attached to the housing away from the pad and keys for mounting the housing to the cab component. The housing may have a channel or a cannulation for mounting to the cab component. The housing may be resilient, making for increased comfort especially in long-term operation. The housing and pad assembly may be compact for storage in a glove box of the vehicle. Also, the control system can be wireless and remote.

Abstract: Ergonomic plow control system has a housing which can be mounted to a component in a cab of a vehicle; and a switch pad having control keys, the pad mounted in the housing such that the keys are readily accessible to an operator of the vehicle during plowing operation such as shifting and/or steering. A securing member may be attached to the housing away from the pad and keys for mounting the housing to the cab component. The switch pad may include an arrangement for control of a straight plow and/or of a V-plow having a central element divided into a plurality of independently actuatable switches as for controlling orientation of the plow; and at least one laterally disposed switch set for controlling vertical adjustment of the plow. Another switch set as for controlling “on-off” of the plow may be provided. The housing may be resilient, making for increased comfort especially in long-term operation. Also, the control system can be wireless and remote.
