The Eurocabin project
bookPart
This chapter of the book 'Comfortable earth moving machinery : knowledge and experiences from the Eurocabin project' deals with the Eurocabin project. The participants in the Eurocabin project were three small and middle sized enterprise manufacturers of earth moving machinery: the German Hermann Paus Maschinenfabrik GmbH (Paus), the Dutch ETEC Van Vliet bv (ETEC) and the Liechtensteiner KAISER AG Fahrzeugwerk (Kaiser). They manufacture small sized wheel loaders, medium sized excavators and special purpose excavators. The European Union provides such SME's the opportunity to obtain funded research. For this purpose the Eurocabin project was started with the goal to collect information on how to create the best possible comfortable cabin and using this information to improve their own cabins. This chapter describes how information was collected from the users of these machines as a starting point for further improvements.
