COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ERGONOMIC AND ECONOMIC FACTORS IN EXCAVATOR OPERATION

The location of the excavator operator's cab and working conditions in the cab. The cabs of the Rope Shovels (RSC) are installed at a higher level from the bottom face than the Hydraulic Pit Excavators (HPE), which improves vehicle loading conditions and is safer for the operator, the ergonomic characteristics of both types of excavator cabs are identical and operators are well protected from vibration and noise.
