Body & Cab

Body and cab parts cover the driver's cab and the bodywork of a commercial vehicle. On cab-over trucks the cab tilts forward to give access to the engine for service, and this category groups the hydraulic parts that make that possible: the tilt cylinders that raise and lower the cab and the pump that powers them.

On a cab-over truck the whole cab pivots forward so technicians can reach the engine underneath. A pump pressurises hydraulic fluid and sends it through a control valve to the tilt cylinders, which extend or retract to raise or lower the cab. Latches hold the cab down in the driving position and release when it is raised. Together these parts let a heavy cab be tilted safely and held securely.

The hydraulic parts wear through seal leaks, fluid loss, and age. Signs include the cab tilting slowly or not holding position, fluid leaks, a pump that will not build pressure, and difficulty raising or lowering the cab. Because a raised cab is a heavy load held by hydraulics, a leaking or weak system should be inspected promptly and a safety prop used during service, following the truck manufacturer instructions.

The right part depends on the vehicle model and the tilt system fitted, including the cylinder and pump type. Use the categories below to find the specific component, and confirm each part against the vehicle specification before fitting.
