Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The particular design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The main goal is to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and big glass areas unobstructed in order to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is gently rounded and really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, so as to keep the operator working as efficiently as he or she could.

The hydraulic controls and the operators' seat are all independently adjustable in order to maintain an optimum working position. Furthermore, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 multi-functioned ergonomically positioned and easy to operate levers which are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the horn and window washers.

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 defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.
