Optimum operator comfort
After studying the working situation and posture of the operator we have produced our most modern cab to date. The D series cab is more spacious cab with improved visibility and a soft touch interior. All the instrumentation is ergonomically placed and the seat and arm rests are fully adjustable to suit the individual. Visibility has been improved by increasing the glazed area in the cab and a new a/c system is incorporated as standard with 8 air nozzles placed throughout the cab. Overall vibration has been reduced by mounting liquid filled engine suspension points and utilising the cab suspension arrangement from the proven 912C models. The cab is also fitted with automatic entry and exit lighting for safer night time operation.
Safety and Ergonomics
Gearshift and tipping function are combined in one control lever. When driving the dumptruck the driver uses the steering wheel most of the time. At the same time he has to change gear, direction of travel and be able to use the tipping function. In Hydrema's 912D the gear shift, change of direction of travel and tipping function are all operated from the same joystick, which is integrated into the right armrest.
