Cab modules

Matt_Maier has some interesting ideas on making cabs as modules too. The basic idea is, since lots of GVCS tools have operator enclosures, a universal enclosure could be built and swapped between tractor and bulldozer and backhoe and truck and car...perhaps one could deliver the goods in the truck, then have the tractor take off the truck cab and put it on itself, then unload the goods from the truck with the tractor (as one hypothetical example).

The advantage (as I see it) is that you'd only need one cab for a variety of machines, and making individual cabs--which provide the environment and protection for the operator--for each piece of mobile equipment is a waste of time and resources. It makes the same sort of sense as PowerCubes to me...sort of an OperatorCube. JackMcCornack 3/9/2012
