is available in the 345C L. The standard
and optional seats provide a variety of
adjustments to suit the operator’s size
and weight including fore/aft, height and
weight. Wide adjustable armrests and

the operate position to activate the machine
control functions.
Climate Control. Positive filtered ventilation
with a pressurized cab comes standard.
Fresh air or re-circulated air can be
selected with a switch on the left console.
Windows. To maximize visibility,
all glass is affixed directly to the cab
eliminating the use of window frames.
Choice of fixed or easy-to-open split
front windshield meet operator
preference and application conditions.
50/50 split front windshield allows
both upper and lower portions to be
stored in an overhead position.
70/30 split front windshield stores
the upper portion above the operator.
The lower front windshield features
a rounded design to maximize
downward visibility and improves
wiper coverage.
Both openable versions feature
a one-touch action release system.
The fixed front windshield is available
in standard duty laminated glass or
high impact resistant laminated glass.
Wipers. Parallelogram wiper, including
a washer nozzle is mounted below the
cab windshield, optimizes the operator’s
viewing area and offers continuous and
intermittent modes.
Monitor. The compact, full-color,
graphical display monitor, new with the
345C L, displays machine, maintenance,
diagnostic and prognostic information,
in twenty different languages.
Monitor angle can be adjusted to
minimize sun glare.
Cab Exterior. The exterior design uses
thick steel tubing along the bottom
perimeter of the cab, improving the
resistance of fatigue and vibration.
This design allows the FOGS to be
bolted directly to the cab, at the factory
or as an attachment later, enabling
the machine to meet specifications
and job site requirements.
Cab Mounts. The cab shell is attached
to the frame with viscous rubber cab
mounts, which dampen vibrations
and sound levels while enhancing
operator comfort.
Operator Station
