Abstract
Removable cab toe boxes are described herein to provide increased comfort to an operator while still allowing a cab to be rotated upwards to provide access to equipment below the cab. The removable toe boxes are removably affixed to the cab and, when installed, may provide at least a partial seal to prevent or reduce the amount of dirt or dust entering the cab. When the toe boxes are removed, equipment may move through the space created from the removal of the toe boxes to allow the cab to rotate.
