ABSTRACT:
The Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or cab enclosure of a skid-steer loader has been modified and a latch mechanism has been added to the loader to facilitate servicing of the loader. The Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or cab enclosure is now positively biased at its rear pivot point away from the frame by means of a torsion spring mounted between the cab and the roll over protective structure. In addition a latch mechanism for the cab enclosure is provided, the latch mechanism comprising a cam member fixedly mounted on the frame and a latch member fixedly mounted on the cab enclosure. The latch member is positively biased toward the cam surface of the cam member and slides along the cam member as the cab enclosure is rotated away from the frame. At the end of its travel the latch bar slides into a notch provided on the cam member that positively retains the cab enclosure in a full tilt-back position while the loader is being serviced.
