The support linkage includes at least one pivot link extending between the machine frame and the operator's stationand oriented to pivot about a pivot axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine frame. The operator's station in the outer position extends laterally partially beyond the machine frame on one of the left and right edges of the machine frame, the outer position being at a higher elevation than the inner position relative to the machine frame.

According to one example, a working machine includes a projection arrangement to generate a hologram, wherein the hologram presents a virtual operating element or a virtual display and a movement/position detection arrangement to detect a movement or a position of an operator. The working machine of the example also includes a control unit to control the operation of the working machine based on the detected movement or position of an operator and based on the basis of the hologram generated by the projection arrangement, wherein the projection arrangement is to generate the hologram at different positions or with different content in association with different operating positions to be assumed by an operator on an operator platform or the movement/position detection arrangement is designed to detect the movement or the position of an operator in different operating positions on the operator platform.

The present disclosure refers to a road construction machine in the form of a road finisher or a feeder vehicle with a chassis and a driver's cab with a vehicle roof. According to the disclosure, one or more luggage nets are attached to the vehicle roof of the road construction machine.

A protective canopy includes a canopy body, which is switchable between a first position and a second position, a canopy base, a first linkage and a second linkage for connecting the canopy body to the canopy base, each of the first linkage and the second linkage is pivotally connected to both the canopy body and the canopy base, respectively, and pivot axes formed at the pivoting connection positions between each of the first and second linkage and each of the canopy body and the canopy base are parallel to each other, such that the canopy body is switchable relative to the canopy base between the first position and the second position by manipulating the first and/or second linkages and/or the canopy body. An earth working machine having such protective canopy and a method for changing position of a protective canopy of earth working machine are also disclosed.

The disclosure refers to a road construction machine, adapted in particular in the form of a road paver or a feeder vehicle for a road paver. According to the disclosure, the road construction machine comprises a first and/or a second air barrier device adapted to shield a driver and/or an operator of the road construction machine. Furthermore, the disclosure refers to a corresponding method for generating an air flow during operation of a road construction machine in order to shield a driver and/or an operator from vapors and/or aerosols rising during operation of the road construction machine.

A road construction machine in the form of a road finisher or feeder vehicle comprising an operator stand with a floor surface as a tread surface and a cooling system for producing a mist from a cooling agent. The cooling system comprises a tank for receiving the cooling agent and a spray apparatus for nebulizing the cooling agent into a mist. The cooling system is configured to produce the mist in the area of the operator stand, and the spray apparatus is arranged thereby at a height of at least 1.7 m above the tread surface.

A construction machine that frequently changes between a forward and reverse direction of movement includes a system and method for operating the machine such that rotation of the operator seat can change the direction and speed of the machine's movement to minimize disorientation by the operator. The machine can be changed from moving in the forward direction to moving in the reverse direction, without changing the position of a propel lever or joystick that is used to control the direction and speed of the machine's movement. Rotation of the seat can be used to proportionally reduce the speed of the machine as the machine nears a threshold for changing direction. The joystick can be a dual axis lever that can move along a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis. The direction of movement and speed of the machine can depend on a combination of the joystick position and seat position.

An operator workplace for a construction machine, comprising a driver seat with a seating surface, an armrest arranged next to the seating surface and having an arm support surface and a control wheel for controlling at least one machine function, the control wheel being rotatable about a control axis, the control axis of the control wheel being tilted relative to a vertical line by a tilt angle in a direction toward the arm support surface of the armrest. Moreover, the invention relates to a construction machine, in particular a ground compaction machine, for example a road roller or single-drum roller, or a road paver, having such an operator workplace.

A road finishing machine comprises a tractor and a screed hinged to the tractor to be towed behind the tractor. At the tractor, a main control platform of the road finishing machine is provided which offers space for an operator and comprises operational controls for controlling functions of the road finishing machine. The main control platform has a roof, wherein a lighting unit with a light source is provided at the roof. The lighting unit comprises a housing which accommodates the light source and has a reflector. The reflector is configured to reflect light emitted by the light source into a working area of the screed so that the working area of the screed is illuminated indirectly.
