Hydraulically Raised Cab
Kocurek’s HRC retains your excavator’s original cabin, mounting it onto a machine-specific base with a modular tower and linkages.
Built-in safety features support elevated operation, with emergency lowering systems and operator access adapted to the cabin’s new position.
Explore the conversion, safety systems and access options below.
Hydraulically Raised Cab Conversion
The conversion remounts the excavator’s original cabin onto a new base designed for the machine. The Kocurek HRC tower and linkages provide the movement needed to raise and lower the cabin.
In operation, the cabin rises approximately two metres vertically with a forward arc of around 200mm, providing an elevated view of the working area.
The HRC can be adapted to OEM base machines, including zero tail swing models. Contact our team with your excavator’s make and model to confirm suitability and conversion requirements.
Raised Cab Safety and Access Features
The Kocurek HRC incorporates systems for elevated operation, emergency lowering and access to the repositioned cabin.
Cylinder safety check valve: fitted to the HRC cylinder.
Emergency lowering valves: located inside the cabin and on the base machine, allowing the cabin to be lowered in an emergency.
Cab door safety interlock: designed to prevent the cabin door from opening while the HRC is in use, helping prevent falls from height.
Operator access system: provided to accommodate the cabin’s new position.
Kocurek’s published specification also lists CE marking, conformity with electromagnetic compatibility standards and compliance with Annex IV of the Machinery Directive. Contact our team for the conformity documentation applicable to your conversion.
Specifications & Compatibility
Designed Around Technical Requirements
Loads, surrounding equipment and the height of the loading area can restrict an operator’s view. Raising the cabin provides a higher viewing position to help the operator see the task more clearly.
Kocurek can discuss where visibility needs improving and assess the appropriate cab arrangement for your machine. Where cabin access is also a concern, our team can explain the Step Safe option.
