The hallmark of D Series material handlers from Sennebogen is the engineering focus on operator safety and comfort – which has now led to the distinctive maXCab operator station.
The new maXCab’s most visible difference, compared to a conventional operator station, is its unique sliding door design, coupled with a permanent catwalk and guard railing to surround the cab entry. The overall result is an entry and exit path that is more open than swinging doors can allow, with enough security that operators can safely leave their cab without first lowering it to deck level. Another handrail protects the stairway that leads up to the cab, so operators take a continuously secure, guarded route from the ground to their work station.
Inside, the ergonomic layout of operator controls affords a roomy feel that’s enhanced by a 360-degree view through tinted panoramic windows. The maXCab’s heated air-suspension seat adjusts to individual preferences for reaching control levers and foot pedals, and automatic heating and air conditioning continuously self-adjusts cab air temperature through eight separate vents for an even, comfortable climate.
The maXCab is offered with a choice of Sennebogen high-rise systems, which elevate the cab to heights up to 5.9 m (19.4 ft.). As well as standard vertical elevation, optional configurations include an articulating boom that allows operators to move the cab “up and out” over the undercarriage, or to tilt the cab forward for a more comfortable downward view.
