Operator visibility is good in the quiet, comfortable, ergonomically designed cab. The hooked boom design, and narrow side posts provide excellent righthand side visibility. An integrated cab riser and the rearVIEW camera system contributes to all-around visibility for the operator.

Well positioned controls and a large touch screen display improve ergonomics and machine monitoring. Reduced noise levels help the operator enjoy the auxiliary audio input port, Bluetooth audio and hands-free calling.

Service access is excellent with the ability to step down into the centre of the machine for clear, unobstructed access to the engine and daily service points. Large enclosure doors and and a platform provide easy access to other service points. A large cast counterweight with a swing-out door allows access to the engine from the rear of the machine.
