ABSTRACT:
A control station for a vehicle adapted to be driven alternately in forward and reverse directions by a seated driver. A swivel seat allows for horizontal rotation about an upright axis and is mounted to the vehicle on shock-absorbing suspension means. A foot rest is fixed relative to the swivel rotation of the seat, providing the driver with the capability of controlling the swivelling of the seat by foot pressure while the vehicle is being driven. Additional foot and hand controls are mounted to the control station such that they rise and fall with the seat of the control station.
