Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator a safe and efficient place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major study of operators' working conditions. The main objective is to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is gently rounded and really comfortable. This specific area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important info, in order to keep the operator functioning as effectively as he or she could.
Thanks to the insulated mounting to the chassis, vibration levels and overall noise levels are kept low. The hydraulic controls and the operators' seat are all independently adjustable as a way to maintain an optimum working position. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and simple to operate levers that are offered for gear changing, windscreen wipers, the horn and window washers.
To ensure a comfy cab temperature for the operator, a ventilation/heating unit supplies incoming air which is replaced by an air filter. This is easily replaceable and the unit slides out afterwards to make serviceability an easy option. The machinery has a robust 3-speed fan for heating, cooling, recirculation and defrosting. As an additional option, air conditioning could be fitted.
