Efficient Electrical Design for Heavy Equipment Cabs

“We’re able to bring all components together so that a mechanic can service a machine in one central location, that also has on board diagnostics on a display for the operator as well.”

Although it can sometimes be an overlooked aspect of cab design for OEMs, it is very important that electrical wiring, harnessing, and power distribution be designed and laid out efficiently, using innovative controls, and easily serviced down the road. For example, if you take a more simple approach to wiring in your cab, you will likely have an unnecessarily high number of wires, a much harder time diagnosing issues, and difficulties when integrating new features. In the video below, our VP of Engineering looks at a control box we created for an operator cab in the forestry industry.

“Load distribution panels are simply bringing in high current or high power into a box and then distributing it through different modules. It allows for the distribution of power to all of the different electrical needs on the machine.”

He says it was very important with this kind of control box to take all of the different wiring and harnesses into consideration because there are a variety of different controls feeding into it.
