Abstract: The invention relates to a handling machine that comprises a control console (12) that can be removed from a docking support (212) present in a control station, and a processing unit configured to authorize the operation of the machine in a nominal mode (M1), when the presence of the driver on the seat (2021), the fastened state of the seat belt (2022) and the state whereby the control console is positioned in or on the docking support are detected, and to limit the operation of the machine to a degraded operating mode (M2) when the removed state of the console from the docking support (212) or the absence of the driver on the seat or the unfastened state of the seat belt is detected. In the state whereby it is positioned in or on the docking support, the control console is pivotably mounted so as to form a steering control component. The invention also relates to a corresponding machine control method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handling machine comprising a telescopic lifting arm and a handling device that pivots between an emptying position and a digging position; a processing unit and a control device (16) comprising a control body (160) that is manually operable to generate a control signal for pivoting the arm by pivoting the control body about a first axis (A1). A control member (17) that is operable using the thumb of the hand of the operator is located on one side of the control body and is mounted so as to pivot or slide about or along a second pivot or slide axis (A2) to generate a control signal for controlling the sliding of the second segment of the arm. The control member is also movably mounted so as to pivot or slide about or along a third pivot or slide axis (A3) to control the pivoting of the handling device.

Abstract: Load-handling vehicle (I) comprising a chassis (2), a handling system (4) comprising a lifting arm (5) mounted so as to move between a high and a low position and a driver's cab (3) comprising a floor (6), a ceiling (7), a front face (8), an opposite rear face (9) and two side faces (IO, II), one (IO) of the side faces (IO, II) being provided with an opening (12) for accessing the cab (3), and the other side face (II) being adjoined by the lifting arm (5) at least in the low position of the arm (5), the cab (3) being provided with a seat (13) and having at least one seat index point (SIP) established and defined in accordance with international standard ISO 5353: 1995. The cab (3) has a minimum interior height, measured between the floor (6) and the ceiling (7), that is greater than 1705 mm, and a distance between the floor (6) and the ground that is less than 800 mm, and the distance between the seat index point and the floor (6) of the cabin (3) is at least equal to 650 mm.
