A special equipment cabin is the operator’s protected, ergonomic workplace that’s integrated into heavy or specialized machinery. It’s the place where visibility, controls, and safety systems come together—so people can run complex equipment with confidence, shift after shift. Metagro designs and manufactures these cabins for cranes, mining and construction equipment, offshore systems, rail and industrial vehicles, and more.
Operator cabins for heavy & specialized machinery
On-machine cabins are built into excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, terminal cranes, dredgers, haul trucks, and other special vehicles. They house the human–machine interface (HMI), seating, joysticks, and displays, and they are engineered to deliver sightlines, structural protection, and climate control in tough environments.
In steel, process, and port settings, fixed operator cabins provide acoustic isolation, dust control, and safe oversight near noisy, hot, or corrosive processes. These are tailored to the exact environment— think radiant heat around ladle and billet cranes, or salt, wind, and driving rain on quaysides.
Safety first: structure, standards, and uptime
A well-engineered cabin protects against impacts and hazards while supporting compliance with relevant safety expectations. Strong frames, safety glazing, emergency egress, fire-resistant seals, and correct electrical integration aren’t just “features” they’re what keep people safe and equipment available. The right cabin choice directly impacts safety, uptime, and total cost of ownership.
that boost productivity
Shift length is unforgiving. Cabins that fit the body— need an adjustable (ergonomic) operator seat with armrests, intuitive control reach, clear labeling, and generous footwell space— reduce strain and errors. Pair that with properly sized HVAC, pressurization and filtration, acoustic insulation, and vibration isolation, and you enable consistent performance hour after hour.
when precision matters
From high-mounted crane cabins with panoramic glazing to heated, anti-glare windows and camera integration for blind spots, sightlines are engineered, not left to chance. The goal: precise, repeatable movements with fewer obstructions and faster situational awareness in close quarters.
Excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, and shovels benefit from vehicle cabins that balance impact resistance with vibration damping and climate control—so operators stay focused in dust and other extremes.
For ship-to-shore (STS), rubber-tyred gantry (RTG), rail-mounted gantry (RMG), and mobile harbor cranes, terminal cabins must resist salt and UV, shed water, and maintain clear views of hooks and loads.
Haul trucks, blasthole drills, and bucket-wheel excavator require rugged cabins, pressurization with dust filtration, high-capacity HVAC, and multi-axis vibration isolation for long, punishing duty cycles.
Forestry, agriculture, maintenance platforms, airport ground support, and tunnel-boring machines often demand one-off or low-volume cabins with tailored controls or remote-operation preparation.
Cabins near melt shops, casting bays, and rolling mills (steel industry cabins) use heat shields, high-temperature glazing, and fire-resistant seals to keep operators effective and protected—while preserving safe access and serviceability.
