@pipemaster: How hot does an excavator cab actually get with no A/C. Management will always tell you it’s not that bad just deal with it…. Would you run an excavator with no A/C all day in 95+ degree heat? #operator #bluecollar #pov #construction #Science
As a operetor who runs and loves kamatsu there a/c design sucks

I live in Arizona. If you have an enclosed cab, the air conditioning has to work. It'll get to a 170° inside the cab.

Yea people dont realize how hot it actually is on open cab equipment. Its actually close to 20 degrees hotter than on the ground. I worked for the city and they had nothing but open cab equipment in southeast GA. It was hell!

Spent all week covering a landfill in a 140H. Hottest week this year in Colorado. AC took a crap last week, mechanic can’t get to it till next week. Definitely don’t want to run open doors at a working landfill. 🤢. People always tease about being in AC on a machine, they don’t realize how much heat these machines generate, and very little insulation, if any at all. Fishbowl effect is real!
