The present invention relates to a remote control device for a crane, for a construction machine and/or for a pallet truck comprising a control station that has at least one input means for inputting control commands and that has a signal transmission device for transmitting the input control commands to the control apparatus of the crane, of the construction machine, or of the pallet truck; and a display apparatus for displaying a representation of the machine surroundings and/or of a piece of working equipment such as a boom or a lifting hook, wherein a movement determination unit is provided for determining movements and/or deformations of the machine components in dependence on the input control commands. It is proposed to present crane reactions or machine reactions to control commands input at the control station, for example in the form of crane movements and/or of crane deformations not only in the form of a representation on the display apparatus, but to convert them into an actual movement of the control station of the remote control accompanying the crane reaction or machine reaction to allow the remote control user to have the dynamic machine reactions communicated to him more realistically and to experience them more realistically.

A hydraulic excavator includes a revolving frame forming a support structure, a cab that is disposed to be positioned on a front side of the revolving frame and in which an operator gets, and a plurality of vibration isolating members that are disposed between the revolving frame and the cab to support the cab on the revolving frame in a vibration isolating state. Further, an intermediate connecting member is disposed for connection between the revolving frame and the vibration isolating member and for a height position adjustment of the cab to the revolving frame. The intermediate connecting member is fixed to the revolving frame from a lower side.

A work machine includes a traveling undercarriage, an upper rotating structure swingably mounted on the traveling undercarriage, a cab mounted on the upper rotating structure, an attachment including multiple work elements and attached to the upper rotating structure, an end attachment attached to the end of the attachment, a first sensor configured to obtain the angles of rotation of the work elements, a second sensor configured to obtain the angle of rotation of the end attachment, and a control device configured to restrict or stop the motion of reducing a distance between the end attachment and the cab in response to determining that the end attachment has entered a predetermined region based on the outputs of the first sensor and the second sensor.

A crane, a construction machine or an industrial truck, with a control station including at least one input means for inputting control commands, a graphical simulation module for calculating a virtual representation of the machine surroundings and/or machine components visible from the control station, such as a boom or a load hook, and a display device for displaying the calculated virtual representation, wherein a movement simulation module is provided for determining movements and/or deformations of the machine components according to the inputted control commands, depending on which the graphical simulation module calculates the virtual representation. Proposed is a data emulation using hardware components, which carry out actual actuating movements and thus simulate actual actuating movements of the machine to be simulated, in order to provide corresponding movement data more rapidly and with less computing performance, whereby a more realistic simulation can be achieved in real-time or almost real-time.

A cab support assembly supports and moves an operator's cab relative to a frame of a construction machine. The cab support assembly includes a cab support coupled to the frame of the construction machine. The operator's cab is mounted to a cab support mounting frame, which in turn is pivotably coupled to the cab support. An actuation device is coupled to the cab support and to the cab support mounting frame. The actuation device includes a first actuation device position in which the cab support frame is in a first position in which the cab support mounting frame defines a first plane, and at least a second actuation device position in which the cab support mounting frame is in a second position such that the cab support mounting frame defines a second plane that intersects the first plane at a negative angle.

A cooling time computing unit computes, based on a temperature detected by a temperature detection unit, a cooling time during which an injection unit is cooled by driving of an engine. A notification control unit uses a notification unit to notify an operator of a necessity of cooling before the engine is stopped, during the cooling time computed by the cooling time computing unit.
