    摘要: An operator cabin may include a frame; a seat assembly supported by the frame; and one or more operator controls to control one or more components of a pipelayer machine, the operator controls being supported by the frame. The frame includes a front surface; a rear surface opposite the front surface; a first lateral surface; and a second lateral surface opposite the first lateral surface. The front surface may comprise a first front support structure and a second front support structure opposite the first front support structure. The rear surface may comprise a first rear support structure and a second rear support structure opposite the first rear support structure. A first distance between the first rear support structure and the second rear support structure may exceed a second distance between the first front support structure and the second front support structure.
