The new operator’s cab has 16% larger volume with increased width and more leg room.
Improved A/C and heater controls allows the operator to set the desired temperature for a more comfortable working environment. A climate controlled cupholder keeps drinks hot or cold for longer.
Dedicated storage areas include space for a full size Tigercat insulated lunchbox behind the seat.
The 234C hydraulic system uses a larger hydraulic pump, and a new boom valve for improved flow sharing.
The new boom design has thicker steel and improved geometry to handle the increased lift capacity.
Cushioned boom cylinders provide smooth control to take advantage of the faster speeds that the hydraulic system delivers.
Through-tip grapple hose routing protects from damage.
The large panel on the cab platform provides unmatched access to engine service points. The removable deck plates on the platform allows for easy access to hydraulic valves and hoses.
