Reinforced Frame
The upper frame is reinforced to accommodate the
installation of a new ROPS cab with redesigned overhead
guarding to protect operators.
Sound Proofing
Improved sealing and cab roof lining lower noise levels
significantly during machine operation.
Anti-Skid Plates
The surface of the upper structure and the top of the storage
box area are covered with removable antiskid plates to help
prevent service personnel and operators from slipping during
maintenance.
Steps, Hand and Guard Rails
Steps (1) on the track frame and storage box along with
extended hand and guard rails to the upper deck enable
operators to more securely work on the machine.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lights
Cab lights can be upgraded to HID for greater night time
visibility.
Visibility – Windows
Increased glass coverage improves visibility while meeting
the latest ROPS regulations. The 70/30 split confi guration
features an upper window equipped with handles on the top
and both sides so the operator can slide it to store in the
ceiling. The lower window is removable and can be stored
on the left wall of the cab shell. An available onepiece front
windshield comes with a glassbreaking safety hammer.
The newly designed skylight is larger than the previous series’
and provides greater overhead visibility, excellent natural
lighting, and good ventilation. The skylight can be opened
completely to become an emergency exit.
Monitor Warning System
The monitor is equipped with a buzzer that can warn an
operator of critical events like “Engine Oil Pressure Decrease,”
“Coolant Temperature High,” or “Hydraulic Oil Temperature
High,” allowing for immediate action to take place.
Rearview Camera
A rearview camera (2) housed in the counterweight area is
available as an attachment. The image projects through the
cab monitor to give the operator a clear picture of what’s
behind the machine.
