Operator Environment
The Spirit Delta cab gives the operator an efficient and safe place to work from. The cab design is the end result of a major study of operators' working conditions. The most important objective is to be able to provide optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and huge glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The instrumental panel is ergonomically designed and is extremely comfortable and gently rounded. This specific area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all essential info, so as to keep the operator functioning as efficiently as possible.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low due to the insulated mounting on the chassis. In order to maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all independently adjustable. Moreover, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for maximum comfort. There are 2 easy to operate, multi-functioned ergonomically positioned levers that are provided for the horn, window washers, windscreen wipers and gear changing.

This is easily replaceable and the unit slides out afterwards to make serviceability an easy option. The machinery has a robust 3-speed fan for defrosting, recirculation, heating and cooling. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.

The standard instruments that comprise: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. Furthermore, gauges display values for fuel quantity, operating time, engine coolant and gearbox oil pressure.
Among the main options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks could be equipped with is the ECS or also called Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows for easy supervision of the unit.
