SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING TILTING OF A CAB FOR A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
A system for controlling tilting of a cab for a commercial vehicle includes: a tilt switch receiving a user's tilt-up or down request; a drive unit tilting up or down the cab of the commercial vehicle; a front detection sensor installed on the cab of the commercial vehicle detecting an obstacle in front of the vehicle; and a control unit identifying whether the user's request is a tilt-up or down based on a lapse of time during the tilt switch is pressed, controlling the drive unit to tilt up or down the cab in accordance with the identification of the tilt-up or down, and stopping a tilt-up operation of the drive unit when an obstacle is detected by the front detection sensor within a predetermined distance during the operation of the drive unit.

MOVABLE OPERATOR STATION FOR IMPROVED VISIBILITY
An operator station is provided. The operator station may include a platform. The platform may at least partially extend along a plane. The operator station may include a first linkage member attached to a first portion of the platform and a second linkage member attached to a second portion of the platform. The first linkage member may be pivotal with respect to a first pivot axis, and the second linkage member may be pivotal with respect to a second pivot axis. The operator station may include an actuating member attached to the first linkage member. The actuating member may actuate the first linkage member for pivoting the first linkage member in a first direction and pivoting the second linkage member in the first direction. The platform may linearly translate in the plane during pivoting of the first linkage member and the second linkage member.
