Electronically controlled cab: the new concept from Sgariboldi

The prototype cab coming up for a preview at Fieragricola ahead of the final version built by Sgariboldi may well set a new standard of reference for the  manufacturer in Codogno, in the Lombardy Region, specializing in cutter-mixer wagons. The most important new feature proposed by the company for their cabs is the replacement of hydraulics with electronic management to eliminate the valves, filters, piping and the like hydraulically controlling the various functions of the machine. The design criteria pursued by Sgariboldi is to achieve an integrated control unit providing the operator with high levels of ergonomics, comfort and reliability. One such case, for example, is armrest control integrated with the seat which complies with all the movements of the driver. Moreover, with procedures which are as intuitive as they are accessible, this armrest always at hand controls all the major functions of the machinery, including the cutter, loading and discharging the fodder. Another new feature involves the instrument panel which groups the instruments in an LCD, liquid crystal display, clear and easy to read in all light conditions. In summary, Sgariboldi's prototype cab has definitely been developed with full awareness that the livability inside influences the overall performance and productivity of the mixer wagon and will allow the end-user to deploy the machine's full potential.
