CABThe cab shall be designed by and totally built by the manufacture of the body. The cab and crew cab shall be Split-Tilt Design with separate modules in order to separate the office space from the front cab without compromising the office space. The front cab section shall be able to tilt 80 degrees to facilitate engine maintenance and removal. The cab pivots shall be located 46.00" apart to provide stability while tilting the cab. The cab shall be tilted by an electric over hydraulic pump that is connected to two (2) cab lift cylinders that are 2.25" in diameter. The cab shall be locked down to the crew cab by a 2-point automatic locking mechanism actuated after the cab has been lowered. The cab and crew cab shall be installed on the chassis frame in a four (4) point mounting pattern. There shall be dual pivots in the front, three (3) isolators centered in the rear, and one (1) on each side at the center. A seal shall be provided between the cab and crew cab to keep out air, water and dirt. Removable access panels shall be provided behind the rear facing seats, one (1) on each side of the apparatus, for access to the cab lock-down mechanisms. The crew cab shall be of a totally enclosed design, with the interior area completely open to improve visibility and verbal communication between the occupants. The forward cab section shall have an overall height (from the cab roof to the ground) of approximately 102.00". The crew cab section shall have a 20.00" raised roof, with an overall cab height of approximately 122.00". The overall height listed shall be calculated based on a truck configuration with the lowest suspension weight ratings, the smallest diameter tires for the suspension, no water weight, no loose equipment weight, and no personnel weight. Larger tires, wheels, and suspension shall increase the overall height listed. The cab shall have an interior width of not less than 93.50". The driver and passenger seating positions shall have minimum 24.00" clear width at knee level. To reduce injuries to occupants in the seated positions, proper head clearance shall be provided. The floor-to-ceiling height inside the forward cab shall be no less than 60.25". The floor-to-ceiling height inside the crew cab shall be no less than 72.95" in the center position and 78.75" in the outboard positions. For optimal occupant leg room, the crew cab shall measure a minimum of 52.50" from the rear wall to the backside of the engine tunnel.
The opening shall have dimensions of approximately 30.50" wide x 58.50" high. The body portion of the opening shall be reinforced with 2.00" square aluminum tubing. A one (1) piece rubber seal shall be provided between the cab and the body with the seam at the bottom. A bright aluminum treadplate threshold shall be provided to protect the rubber seal. The rear cab module may not tilt.
For thermal and acoustic absorption, the engine tunnel shall be insulated on both sides. The underside of the tunnel shall be covered with 1.00" thick polyether foam that is reinforced with an aluminized face. Thermal rating for this insulation shall be -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The insulation shall keep noise (dBA) levels at or lower than the specifications in the current edition of the NFPA 1901 standards. FENDER LINERSFull-circular, aluminum, inner fender liners in the wheel wells shall be provided. WINDSHIELDA one (1) piece, asymmetrical, safety glass windshield with more than 2802 square inches of clear viewing area shall be provided. The windshield shall be full width, and provide the occupants with a panoramic view. The windshield shall consist of three (3) layers; the outer light, the middle safety laminate and the inner light. The 0.114" thick outer light layer shall provide superior chip resistance, the middle safety laminate layer shall prevent the windshield glass pieces from detaching in the event of breakage and the inner light shall provide yet another chip resistant layer. The cab windshield shall be bonded to the aluminum windshield frame using a urethane adhesive. A custom frit pattern shall be applied on the outside perimeter of the windshield, providing for a finished automotive appearance. SUNVISORSTwo (2) smoked sunvisors, 7.75" x 28.12" long, shall be provided. The sunvisors shall be located above the windshield with one (1) mounted on each side of the cab. WINDSHIELD WIPERSThe crew cab shall be provided with a door on the passenger side only. The windshield washer fluid reservoir shall be located at the front of the vehicle and be accessible through the access hood for simple maintenance. CAB REAR WALL EXTERIOR COVERINGThe exterior surface of the rear wall of the cab shall be overlaid with bright aluminum treadplate except for areas that are not typically visible when the cab is lowered. CAB LIFTA hydraulic cab lift system shall be provided, consisting of an electric-powered hydraulic pump, fluid reservoir, dual lift cylinders, remote cab lift controls and all necessary hoses and valves. The cab lift controls shall be located at the driver side front of the cab, easily accessible under the full width front access hood. The controls shall include a permanently mounted raise/lower switch. For enhanced visibility during cab tilt operations, a remote control tether with on/off switch shall be supplied on a coiled cord that shall extend from 2.00' (coiled) to 6.00' (extended). The rear of the cab shall be locked down by a two (2)-point, automatic, hydraulic, double hook mechanism that fully engages after the cab has been lowered (self-locking). The dual 2.25" diameter hydraulic cylinders shall be equipped with a velocity fuse that protects the cab from accidentally descending when the cab is in the tilt position. For increased safety, a redundant mechanical stay arm shall be provided that must be manually put in place on the driver side between the chassis and cab frame when cab is in the raised position. This device shall be manually stowed to its original position before the cab can be lowered.
