Making of a Cab: HVAC, Insulation, Windows, & Doors
“You need to figure out your heat loads, sound deadening, and required visual area, and all of those are impacted by a cab’s windows and insulation.”
The process of designing a new cab, or redesigning an existing cab for a piece of heavy machinery is a very complex process. From the very beginning, each decision is dictated by a series of requirements, including safety certifications and space constraints, and OEM desires, such as controls and special features. The best way to tackle this daunting process is by utilizing a partner with experience in every aspect of cab design. In this video series, we break down every step of the cab design process with different, specialized members of our talented engineering and sales team.
In the previous episode, one of our account managers examined the early discussions around a new cab design, specifically the cab’s basic structure and weldment, and what factors need to be taken into consideration at that level. Now, you can hear from another talented member of our engineering team take a closer look at how we fill out the base cab weldment with all of the foundational aspects that take a cab structure to a comfortable operator environment, including the HVAC system, insulation, windows, and doors.
