Abstract
Systems and apparatuses include a cab floor defining a center plane, a seat slide actuator coupled to the cab floor and selectively moveable in a direction transverse to the center plane relative to the cab floor, and a seat supported by the seat slide actuator and moveable therewith.
Claims16
A cab system for a vehicle, the cab system comprising:
- a steering column including a steering column clutch pedal;
- a remote clutch pedal spaced from the steering column clutch pedal;
- and
- a seat rotatable between a center position aligned with the steering column clutch pedal, and a side view position aligned with the remote clutch pedal,
- wherein the center position defines a seat rotation of about zero degrees relative to a center plane of the cab system, and
- wherein the side view position defines a seat rotation of between about forty-five degrees and about ninety degrees relative to the center plane.

A cab system for a vehicle, the cab system comprising:
- a steering column including a steering column clutch pedal;
- a remote clutch pedal spaced from the steering column clutch pedal;
- a seat rotatable between a center position aligned with the steering column clutch pedal, and a side view position aligned with the remote clutch pedal;
- a wheel well coupled to a cab floor;
- and
- a seat slide actuator coupled to the cab floor, supporting the seat, and selectively moveable in a direction transverse to a center plane of the cab system,
- wherein the seat slide actuator is structured to move the seat in the direction transverse to the center plane between the center position and the side view position where the seat overlaps the wheel well.

A cab system for a vehicle, the cab system comprising:
- a cab floor defining a center plane;
- a steering column including a steering column clutch pedal;
- a remote clutch pedal spaced from the steering column clutch pedal;
- a seat slide actuator coupled to the cab floor and selectively moveable in a direction transverse to a center plane of the cab system between a center position and a side view position;
- a seat rotation actuator structured to rotate between the center position and the side view position;
- and
- a seat coupled to the seat rotation actuator and defining a projection volume extending from the seat along a seat axis and bound by lateral sides of the seat,
- wherein the seat slide actuator is structured to move the seat in the direction transverse to the center plane between (a) the center position defining an offset in the transverse direction between a seat center point and a steering column center plane of zero inches and (b) the side view position defining an offset in the transverse direction between the seat center point and the steering column center plane of between about ten inches and about twenty-four inches, and
- wherein the remote clutch pedal is positioned within the projection volume when the seat is arranged in the side view position.
