Abstract
The disclosure relates to a cabin cover system positioned over the operator cabin of a machine. The cabin cover system comprises a first support member extending vertically from a frame member. The first support member has a first portion attached to the frame member and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion. The cabin cover system further includes a canopy pivotally coupled to the second portion of the first support member. The cabin cover system also includes at least one hydraulic actuator operatively coupled to each of the canopy and the frame member. The at least one hydraulic actuator is configured to pivotally move the canopy towards the truck body.

A machine comprising:
- a frame member;
- a truck body disposed on the frame member;
- an operator cabin disposed on the frame member adjacent to the truck body;
- and
- a cabin cover system positioned over the operator cabin, the cabin cover system comprising:
- a first support member extending vertically from the frame member, the first support member having a first portion attached to the frame member and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion;
- a canopy pivotally coupled to the second portion of the first support member;
- at least one hydraulic actuator operatively coupled to each of the canopy and the frame member, wherein the at least one hydraulic actuator is configured to pivotally move the canopy towards the truck body;
- and
- a cover panel pivotally coupled to the first support member to selectively close a gap between the truck body and the canopy.
