IMPROVED VISIBILITY. Good visibility,
whether it is an operator needing front
viewing for positioning to a truck or
side viewing for vehicles or people in
the work area, is key to a safe work
environment. With a 14 percent increase
in cab space and a .6 m (2 ft) increase
in cab height, the operator has one of
the best viewing capabilities in the
industry for this wheel loader class size.
Additional standard visibility features
that enhance safety include:

Long life LED tail lights

Articulated wiper/washer system
with intermittent feature on front
and rear windows

Optional Rear Vision Camera with
In-Cab Monitor.
An optional rear vision
camera with 178 mm (7 in), in-cab, color
display monitor is available to give a
close view of behind the wheel loader.

Working 24 Hours a Day. Any time
of the day and in all types of weather,
the 993K has a number of features
to ensure safe visibility. Rear heated
mirrors are available for quick defrost
and good visibility in winter conditions.
The optional High Intensity Discharge
(HID) lights provide exceptional lighting
for night work. Rotating warning beacons
are also available as a safety feature.

ACCESS and EGRESS. Getting on and
off the machine is one of the leading
causes of injury on a jobsite. The new
993K has several standard and optional
features that help to ensure your operators
get safely on and off the machine.

Wider Platform Access Stairs. Both left
and right stairways are standard and
have increased in width to provide
additional room, 600 mm (23.6 in),
for operators and service technicians to
access the cab and to perform platform
maintenance procedures. Optional
roading fenders are available to prevent
mud and debris build up on the steps
and rails.
