Wiggins Composite Cab: Built for Operator Comfort and Marine-Duty Performance
The composite cab on a Wiggins Lift Co. marina forklift is engineered specifically for operator comfort, durability, and marine-duty performance. Constructed from corrosion-resistant composite materials, the cab is designed to withstand harsh saltwater environments while providing a quieter and more comfortable operating experience. The ergonomic operator station features a fully adjustable air-ride seat, adjustable steering column, and strategically positioned controls within arm’s reach to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts. Combined with excellent visibility and modern touchscreen controls, the Wiggins composite cab helps improve productivity, safety, and overall operator confidence in demanding marina applications.
Unlike many competing marina forklifts that still utilize traditional steel cab construction, the Wiggins composite cab will not rust or corrode from constant exposure to salt air and moisture. Composite materials also absorb significantly less heat than steel, helping maintain a cooler and more comfortable cab environment for operators working in high-temperature marina conditions. The result is a longer-lasting cab structure, improved operator comfort, and reduced long-term maintenance concerns.
In addition to its durability advantages, the Wiggins cab is designed to lift hydraulically, providing easy access to major machine components underneath the operator station. This feature simplifies routine maintenance and service procedures, helping reduce downtime and improving overall serviceability for marina maintenance teams.
The photos below highlight the long-term advantage of Wiggins composite cab construction. Even on older Wiggins machines, the composite cab continues to resist rust and corrosion, while comparable competitor machines with traditional steel cabs often show significant rust deterioration after only a few years in marine environments. This difference directly impacts appearance, longevity, maintenance costs, and long-term resale value.
