Cab adjustment for excavators: Customized lift, tilt, and lift-tilt cabs

Where standard excavators reach their limits, our work begins. With decades of experience in custom excavator manufacturing, we modify operator cabs to meet the highest demands. Our lift cabs, tilt cabs, and lift-tilt cabs are the perfect choice for demolition and material handling. They provide the operator with optimal visibility on the job – whether it’s a clear view upward to the demolition edge or perfect sight down into a scrap container. Robust, safe, and precisely tailored to your excavator model.

The ECHLE lift cab for your excavator – Unobstructed visibility during material handling

  • Ergonomics and Comfort:
    The lift cab allows for comfortable height adjustment and ensures an ergonomic seating position.
  • Stepless Height Adjustment:
    The cab can be continuously raised to a lift height of approx. 2,300 mm. Lifting is handled by a powerful hydraulic cylinder equipped with a load-holding valve.
  • Optimized Visibility and Cab Positioning:
    Due to the modification, the cab is shifted forward by approx. 700 mm. This improves visibility of the working area and creates additional space.
  • Robust Lift Design with Parallel Kinematics:
    The lift frame is connected to the excavator chassis via parallel kinematics, ensuring stable and safe movement of the cab across the entire lifting range.
  • Simple Control System:
    Operation is controlled via the medium-pressure circuit. No additional control elements are required.
  • Integrated Emergency Lowering:
    For maximum safety, an emergency lowering system is integrated, which can be triggered from both inside the cab and from the ground.
  • All relevant lines and hoses are professionally adapted and extended.
  • Highly compatible with our “PROTECTOR E4” guard.
  • Corrosion Protection and High-Quality Finish:
    All components are blasted, primed, and painted – ensuring long-lasting protection and a premium appearance.

Our videos show functional testing and the lifting process of the ECHLE lift cab on various excavator models.

But quality work starts long before that: Take a look behind the scenes! In an exclusive video, we take you inside our manufacturing plant in Wolfach and show you firsthand how we engineer and build a custom lift cab. That is “Made in Germany” quality – from the very first weld.

The ECHLE tilt cab: Tailor-made visibility and ergonomics

  • Ergonomics and Comfort:
    The tilt cab ensures an ergonomic and comfortable seating position, making work significantly more relaxed and less fatiguing.
  • Stepless Tilting up to approx. 30°:
    Following the modification, the cab can be continuously tilted up to an angle of approx. 30°. This is driven by hydraulic cylinders equipped with a load-holding valve.
  • Protected Cylinder Design:
    Thanks to its integrated construction, the hydraulic cylinder is optimally protected against external impacts.
  • Highly compatible with our “PROTECTOR E4” guard.
  • Optimized Cab Positioning:
    Due to the modification, the cab is shifted forward by approx. 350 mm, significantly improving the operator’s field of vision.
  • Simple Control System:
    Operation is controlled via the medium-pressure circuit. No additional control elements are required.
  • Integrated Emergency Lowering:
    For maximum safety, an emergency lowering system is integrated, which can be triggered from both inside the cab and from the ground.
  • Line Adjustment:
    All relevant lines and hoses are adapted and extended: hydraulic hoses, A/C lines, and heating hoses.
  • Corrosion Protection and High-Quality Finish:
    Upon completion of the work, the entire modification area is primed and painted to ensure long-lasting corrosion protection and a premium appearance.

The ECHLE lift-tilt cab: Maximum flexibility & comfort

  • Ergonomics and Comfort:
    The lift-tilt cab combines height adjustment with an ergonomic tilting function – for maximum comfort and reduced strain.
  • Stepless Tilting up to approx. 30°:
    Following the modification, the cab can be continuously tilted up to an angle of approx. 30°. This is driven by hydraulic cylinders equipped with a load-holding valve.
