According to the present invention, it is possible to install a larger cabin than the size of an existing compact hydraulic excavator without newly re-designing an apparatus cover.

Abstract: A work vehicle having a supporting frame and ground engaging wheels is provided with a work implement mounted to the rear portion of the work vehicle. The work implement is designed to drag a body behind the vehicle. The operations of the work vehicle is controlled from an operators cab mounted to the supporting frame. The operators cab is provided with a ROPS for protecting the operator. The ROPS is provided with four vertically extending supporting posts, left and right front supporting posts, and left and right rear supporting posts. An operators seat is located in the operators cab and is arranged diagonally to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. The operators seat faces both to the front and to the right side. The right rear corner post is provided with at least one operator control that is in the line of sight of the operator when seated in the operators seat.

Abstract: A position adjusting apparatus of a control console for a work vehicle in which the control console moves in a state of substantially keeping a relative position with respect to the operator seat prior to a rotation in accordance with the rotation of the operator seat, thereby maintaining a suitable operability, and a maintenance of the vehicle can be performed in an improved manner. Accordingly, a floor frame (20) and a mounting table (26) which mounts a control console (10) are connected to each other via an irregular four section link, and a turn table (12) which is rotatably supported to the floor frame or the operator seat and the mounting table are connected by an interlocking link (15). Accordingly, when an operator seat (11) which is mounted to the turn table rotates, the control console substantially maintains a relative position with respect to the operator seat before the rotation automatically, and can move in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: A set of panel assemblies for enclosing the overhead guard of a vehicle such as a skid steer comprising a windshield/door assembly and side window assemblies. The windshield/door assembly includes a door jamb that is clamped over the front corner posts of the overhead guard and a windshield/door unit hinged on the jamb. The windshield/door unit seals against a generally planar front face of the jamb. The side window assemblies comprise transparent rigid plastic sheets adapted to be attached to the side grille of the overhead guard in a simplified manner and without occupying excessive space in the clearance area between the overhead guard and operating elements such as the lift arms of a bucket.

Abstract: A dash reinforcement for a mobile vehicle with a passenger cab such as a sport utility vehicle, or medium or heavy-duty truck. The dash reinforcement may be a stamped sheet metal panel that strengthens the dash structure of the cab and provides for mounting of vehicle components. The dash reinforcement may be symmetrical about the centerline of the vehicle and this symmetry allows the panel to accommodate both left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicle configurations. The dash reinforcement also includes ‘Y’ shaped passages for a driver control module and for accessory equipment such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) modules. The unique shape of these passages or openings adds strength to the overall dash structure and hence the cab. The dash reinforcement may be engaged to a dash panel to form a dash assembly.

The lower end of the rear portion is joined to the body frame. The middle portion of the rear portion is bound by the front end portion of the load-carrying platform in an easily separable manner.

Abstract: An operator's cab structure for a construction machine, arranged to minimize the degree of lateral projection of a cab door on the outer side of a left enclosure section, for the purpose of securing a broader dwelling space within a cab. A side panel or wall portion which is provided in a left side enclosure section of a cab box is located in a receded position inward of outer marginal edges of a ceiling enclosure section. By this arrangement, an open door accommodating space is formed or defined on the rear side of the left side enclosure section by an outer surface of the side wall portion, lower surface of the ceiling enclosure section and rear surface of a center pillar. As a consequence, when the cab door is opened, it is received in the open door accommodating space to minimize the extent of lateral projection of the door on the outer side of the left enclosure section.

Abstract: A set of panel assemblies for enclosing the overhead guard of a vehicle such as a skid steer comprising a windshield/door assembly and side window assemblies. The windshield/door assembly includes a door jamb that is clamped over the front corner posts of the overhead guard and a windshield/door unit hinged on the jamb. The windshield/door unit seals against a generally planar front face of the jamb. The side window assemblies comprise transparent rigid plastic sheets adapted to be attached to the side grille of the overhead guard in a simplified manner and without occupying excessive space in the clearance area between the overhead guard and operating elements such as the lift arms of a bucket.

Abstract: An operator enclosure for an agricultural tractor has a rollover protective structure (ROPS) in which the front side of the ROPS extends upward above the left, right and rear sides of the ROPS and terminates at a front upper cross member extending laterally between left and right front upright corner members. A roof pan is placed at the top of the ROPS that has a generally horizontal top panel at about the same height as the front upper cross member. The top panel of the roof curves downward to form left, right and rear side panels extending downward from the top panel to the height of the upper members of the ROPS along the left, right and rear sides. There is no front panel on the roof extending downward from the top panel. The windshield is extended upward into what had previously been the front panel of the roof. This improves the front upward visibility, an feature particularly useful in operating a front end loader on the tractor.
