Cabin for steel and aluminium industry

The steel and aluminium industries are heavy industries in which environmental issues such as radiation, heat and dust, as well as visibility, posture and long shifts affect the operator’s performance and health. Such conditions call for special attention to the design of the operator’s working environment.

Merford has many years of experience in the design of operator cabins that are situated in harsh environments. When designing steel mill cabins, special attention is paid to air and temperature control, visibility,safety, ergonomics and reliability.

In the steel and aluminium industries, crane operators control a whole range of processes. Each process has different specifications with regard to the cab and the operator’s seat. Merford has a wealth of experience in designing various types of cabs for different processes. Special attention goed out to the following points:

  • Composition of the windows in the cabin with regard to visibility and reflections
  • Climate control; especially cooling, fresh air supply and overpressure systems for cabins in a warm environment.
  • Several kinds of glass, like:
    - explosion proof
    - heat reflecting
    - anti mirrored
    - tinted
    - internally heated
  • Anti-vibration fixing of the cabin
  • Operator control units, designed for specific applications
  • Structure and painting systems
