A noticeable feature of the new Grove GMK4100 will be its new cab. The company describes it as “a modern design based around functionality, ergonomics, and comfort.”

Visibility is said to be increased with the addition of wide rear-view mirrors with new curved shaping. Increased storage space inside the cab has been added to increase comfort. The ECOS feedback screen allows the operator to monitor various internal and external conditions, including temperature, fuel, and battery levels and allows the suspension, differentials, steering, and level to be controlled. Error messages highlight any change in conditions allowing the operator to react quickly, while an EKS 5 Light load moment indicator is also included.
