Cab Suspension – Flexibility and Ergonomics for Operator Comfort

Creating a smooth and flexible working environment for the operator is crucial for anyone designing machines with a cab and driver—especially when those machines operate off-highway on uneven terrain or in hilly conditions. A well-designed cab suspension system reduces vibrations, improves visibility, enhances safety, and helps the operator work longer without fatigue.

Hydraulic Cab Suspension

Hydnet offers flexible and popular cab suspension systems that provide the operator with a range of ergonomic options and excellent driving comfort:

• Allows operators to individually adjust the cab damping based on their personal preferences or the terrain. Control can be via mobile app, from inside the cab, or preset.

• The operator can raise the cab to its maximum height for improved visibility—ideal, for example, during loading.

• Easier entry into the cab when it’s in the lowest position, such as when the machine is turned off.

• When the machine is on a slope, the cab can be leveled to a comfortable horizontal position using a gyro. (Limited by the stroke length of the cylinders.)

• The system can automatically adjust damping based on driving speed, engine RPM, gear, or GPS coordinates—giving the operator the most appropriate suspension setting for predefined driving cycles.

Common Applications

Our cab suspension solutions are primarily used in construction, agricultural, and forestry machines, as well as other off-road specialty equipment where comfort and ergonomics are essential—such as excavators, wheel loaders, forwarders, tractors, and tracked machines.

Hydnet can help you develop a cab suspension solution tailored to your specific needs. We have experience with various approaches to match different performance levels, comfort requirements, and operator preferences.
