New front discharge mixer training cab from Oshkosh is 44 percent larger than before
This is the only trainer cab currently available for front discharge mixers
Oshkosh S-Series has introduced an updated Oshkosh S-Series Trainer Cab. Built on the Oshkosh S-Series front discharge mixer platform, the new cab was specifically designed to meet the evolving training needs of the ready-mix industry. The reimagined front discharge mixer trainer cab is designed to offer a comfortable, versatile, and effective training solution by providing a second seat for an experienced operator to accompany a new operator in the cab.
Since the launch of its legacy Trainer Cab configuration in 1999, the S-Series Trainer Cab has been completely re-engineered to meet expectations for a spacious and ergonomic environment that stands up to rigorous operational needs.
"Like many industries, construction businesses have faced a significant skilled labour shortage and our customers need a training solution that is effective, comfortable, and versatile enough to support both new drivers and experienced trainers," says Sara Fedderly, general manager of Oshkosh's S-Series business. "Our new trainer cab is the result of a collaborative effort with our customers to meet the unique training needs of the industry."
A long-term investment in safety and operational efficiency
Enhancements to the new S-Series Trainer Cab include upgraded ergonomics, great visibility and easy ingress and egress. These new features make vehicle operation appealing and practical for senior drivers tasked with training new operators.
Additional features include:
- Efficient entry, open interior with improved visibility, and ample storage compared to the legacy trainer cab
- 44 percent larger cab interior than previous iterations
- Significant leg room and a dedicated air ride trainer seat for added comfort
- 7-inch LCD touchscreen
With features such as multiple camera views, and enhanced HVAC for optimal comfort, the trainer cab aims to set the standard for training in high-demand environments. Additionally, the S-Series Trainer Cab's integration with the Oshkosh ClearSky Intelligence platform offers real-time insights and diagnostics, streamlining fleet management and maximizing training overall.
As the only trainer cab currently available for front discharge mixers, the Oshkosh S-Series Trainer Cab is not just a training tool—it's a long-term investment in safety and operational efficiency, says the company. This dual-purpose cab can also be utilized as a fully functioning mixer cab when not in training use, making it a versatile addition to any fleet.
