Abstract: The invention concerns a device for operating a vehicle provided, in particular, in the form of a farming or industrial utility vehicle. The device comprises a grip (12) that can be rigidly mounted on a console of the vehicle. The grip (12) is designed in such a manner that enables it to be at least partially grasped by an operator's hand or is suited for being at least partially reached into by an operator's hand. The grip (12) comprises operational controls (18, 20, 22), with which at leas one function of the vehicle and/or one function of an implement that can be optionally adapted to the vehicle can be controlled. The aim of the invention is to resolve ergonometric problems during operation. To this end, a display unit (24) assigned to the grip (12) is provided that can be mounted in a manner that permits it to be displaced relative to the grip (12).

Abstract: An adjustment system adjust the position of a platform of a cab of an agricultural or industrial utility vehicle. The platform includes an operator's seat, at least one pedal, a platform floor and a steering wheel. The adjusment system includes a mechanism which can adjust the position (height) of a portion of the platform floor independently of the position of the operator's seat. The platform floor portion extends at least between the seat and the pedal.

Abstract: A transmission shift lever assembly has a manually operated shift lever that can be moved in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction. The shift lever operates upon transmitting elements in order to transmit information to the vehicle gearbox or a gearbox control corresponding to the movement of the lever. The shift lever is coupled to a retainer, and a plurality of arms form four-bar linkages which couple the retainer to housing members so that the lever pivots about a virtual pivot axis which is repositioned remote from the lever, and so that the shift lever moves with little tilting motion.

Abstract: A manually controlled operating lever for a vehicle operator's platform has an electrical actuation transducer for transmitting control signals to a working function as a function of the pivoting of the lever and/or as a function of the actuation of at least one actuation element arranged on the lever. In order to avoid an undesired release of working functions, a manually operated activating element is mounted near a hand grip of the lever, and is coupled to a switching element which operates to activate the actuation transducer for the transmission of control signals as a function of actuation of the activating element.
