An advanced cab and seat design for a quay crane
bookPart
This fourth chapter of the book 'Advanced cabin design : how to improve comfort and performance by progressive cabin design' addresses an advanced cab and seat design for a quay crane. In many types of cranes work requires the operators to look downwards almost continuously. Such a viewing angle forces the neck and back in an unfavourable, flexed posture. Consequently, many crane drivers suffer from neck and back complaints. Can this problem be solved by a progressive crane seat design? This chapter describes this problem and discusses the potential advantages of a new design of a quay crane cabin and seat.
