But lowering the cab is also possible, or an adjustment to the cab itself – such as widening or making the cab explosion-proof. All cab risers are manufactured and built up by us in our workshops.

Ideally suited for mobile excavators.

Hydraulically adjustable cab riser HPAR-1.5

• Vertical displacement of max. 1500 mm
• Very good stability due to type of construction
• Limited installation space required
• Emergency lowering device in cab and on the machine
• Fall protection

Our cab riser, the HPAR-1.5, is ideally suited for mobile excavators, but can of course also be used on other types of machines. Because the cab rests against a rubber stop in both the lowest and highest positions, this adjustable cab riser has extremely good stability.

Hydraulically adjustable cab riser HPAR- 2.3
Recommended for crawler excavators and telescopic cranes.

• Vertical displacement of max. 2300 mm
• Horizontal displacement of max. 700 mm forward
• Optimum stability in all positions
• Transport height remains unchanged (cab in lowest position)
• Also available with tilting option
• Emergency lowering device in cab and on the machine
• Fall protection

Hydraulically adjustable cab riser HPAR-3.0
Ideally suited for larger excavators.

• Vertical adjustment of max. 3000 mm
• Horizontal displacement of max. 1000 mm forward
• Compact installation, less than 600 mm
• Very good stability
• Also available with tilting option
• Minimal vibrations
• Emergency lowering device in cab and on the machine
• Fall protection

]]> Ballast increase https://vdhmachinery.com/en/machines/ballast-increase/ Fri, 10 Oct 2025 11:33:53 +0000 https://vdhmachinery.com/machines/ballast-increase/ With an increased range, extra balance is crucial. With a ballast increase, we increase the counterweight of the machine, making it stable and safely moving heavy or long loads, such as sheet pile planks. This is a frequently used adjustment in combination with an axle drop.

]]> Jib & Runner https://vdhmachinery.com/en/machines/jib-runner/ Fri, 10 Oct 2025 11:34:39 +0000 https://vdhmachinery.com/machines/jib-runner/ The combination of a jib (extension arm) and runner (linear guide) makes it possible to increase the working distance horizontally or vertically. This makes hard-to-reach places accessible without having to move the machine. This adjustment increases productivity and significantly increases the application possibilities.

With an HDHW modification, we raise and widen the undercarriage, making the machine even more stable and suitable for the toughest conditions.

]]> Axle drop https://vdhmachinery.com/en/machines/axle-drop/ Thu, 09 Oct 2025 07:20:27 +0000 https://vdhmachinery.com/machines/axle-drop/ An axle drop is a constructive adjustment to the pivot point of the boom, allowing it to move higher or further back. This results in a higher pin height and greater range, allowing the machine to work closer and be used more efficiently in a variety of tasks.
