ABSTRACT:
An articulating cab assembly for vehicles with an elevated frame, such as excavators, is described. The cab assembly includes a cab coupled to a pivot plate, wherein the pivot plate is coupled to a cab assembly mounting framework. A cab extendable link is pivotally connected to the cab and the pivot plate, for moving the cab between an elevated operating position and a lower ground level operator load and unload access position. The cab assembly also includes a framework extendable link that is pivotally connected to the pivot plate and to the cab assembly mounting framework, for moving the pivot plate forwardly and rearwardly without pivot plate rotation. The cab is in a fully lowered position when the extendable links are each at a minimum extension, and the cab is in a fully raised position when the extendable links are each at a maximum extension.
