Abstract:

A cab support assembly supports and moves an operator's cab relative to a frame of a construction machine. The cab support assembly includes a cab support coupled to the frame of the construction machine. The operator's cab is mounted to a cab support mounting frame, which in turn is pivotably coupled to the cab support. An actuation device is coupled to the cab support and to the cab support mounting frame. The actuation device includes a first actuation device position in which the cab support frame is in a first position in which the cab support mounting frame defines a first plane, and at least a second actuation device position in which the cab support mounting frame is in a second position such that the cab support mounting frame defines a second plane that intersects the first plane at a negative angle.
