  • Patent number: 9783056
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an operator platform for a construction machine and to a construction machine, particularly a road construction machine such as a road milling machine or a road paver, with an operator platform. The operator platform comprises an operator platform base, an operating panel and an operator seat, wherein an operating panel mount with a pivoting device is provided, by means of which the operating panel is pivotable about a vertical pivot axis between a first pivoting position and a second pivoting position. The operating panel mount comprises a height adjustment device which is configured such that the operating panel can be locked at different height positions independently of the pivoting positions.
