  • Patent number: 4275800
    Abstract: A vehicle typified by a front-end loader is provided with a driver's cab that pivots up and down along a long pivot arm. This gives both high elevation for better visibility and low profile, e.g. for travelling or getting into low overhead places. The long pivot arm provides a lot of vertical adjustability for the cab, with relatively little tilting. The tilting that does occur may be accommodated by also adjusting the back rest of the operator. A system for pivotally attaching the cab roof is also shown. In one variation shown, the cab is mounted transversally, i.e. sideways to the normal travel direction of the vehicle; in another, the cab is oriented longitudinally. Preferably most or all of the shell of the cab is stationary and only the operator's station part thereof is vertically adjusted.
