Cab

The eight cabs of the new Arocs meet all prevailing requirements in construction haulage.

Robust down to the last detail. Even above the foundation.

The Arocs cabs boast impressive practicality, robustness and resilience. At a glance. In every little detail. And always when it counts most.

One look is all it takes to know where the Arocs belongs. From the pivoting entry which is flexibly suspended in both longitudinal and lateral directions, to the grab rail on the roof – every detail is designed precisely for the requirements of a construction site. This means maximum functionality in tandem with impressive robustness which is clearly visible in the ribbed exterior mirror housings261 and the radiator grille in bucket-tooth design. This is also tangible in the comfort cab suspension109, which eases the load on the driver even under great strain in off-road terrain including the three-piece bumper with steel corners. The steel corners protect the headlamps against damage.

Robust protective steel grilles are available for the headlamps and tail lamps of the Arocs. They can prevent damage as caused by stone chips, for example. This contributes to low repair costs and enhanced safety.

Exterior mirror housing

The rippled exterior mirror housing doesn't just look great. Thanks to its robust scratch-resistant surface it also prevents damage to the mirror and thereby enhances safety. On the construction site. And on the way there.

The optionally available grab rail on the roof makes inspecting the tipper body more convenient and safer. The step integrated into the side wall or rear wall of the various cab variants provides a sure footing for doing so.

Special cab design.

The Arocs always puts a cab that is optimally designed for the requirements of construction transport at your disposal. The cabs with a width of 2300 mm offer great all-round visibility, for example – this provides protection against collisions if space for manoeuvring is especially tight. The construction from 100% fully galvanised sheet metal is another persuasive trait of the Arocs cabs.

Component protection.

For strong resilience the Arocs is equipped with particular protective features for special tasks. These include the protective plate for the radiator and engine242 that comes as standard on steel-sprung vehicles and the optionally available protective plate for the main tank. Steel grilles for the headlamps and a cover to protect the major components from bulk materials are also optionally available. The optional Road Construction package provides a further example of the Arocs's excellent adaptability to the job in hand. The Arocs is designed in the interests of avoiding needless damage and unnecessary repair costs.

Road paver package.

A further example of how the Arocs can be tailored precisely to specific applications is provided by the road paver package. With relocated tail lights and rear reflectors, shortened fenders and folding splash guard and rear underride guard, it offers the appropriate set-up for road-paving operations, provides protection from damage and avoids any need for retrofit solutions.

During the first test drive and after countless trips - the Arocs cabs show what distinguishes a modern workplace. With exemplary ergonomics, high functionality and lots of new and practical details that simply make a difficult job much easier.

The Arocs offers a workplace which is ideally designed for construction transport operations. The cockpit with its appealing interior is tailored precisely to the driver's needs.
