By using the Access Innovations Dozer Access System the machine is enhanced by anti-slip stairs and a level platform featuring rubber mounted hand rails while pre-start checks on the engine oil and radiator can be carried out safely from the anti-slip platform.

Once the operator has climbed from ground level to the cab using the system, the operator simply releases the park brake and the access system folds, stores automatically, enabling him to commence work. Vision to both the back and side of the blade is then as on a standard machine. Rubber mountings on both the main support mountings and the handrails eliminate any vibration.
   

The complete system is hydraulically operated and is actuated and interlocked with the park brake circuit. Park brake on for lowering, and park brake off for raising.

The system features an emergency stop button, one mounted in the cab and the other on the lower step section. This allows the system to be stopped at any time during its operation. Throughout both the raising and lowering phases the reversing alarm beeps.
  

From ground level to cabin all the step interval heights are equal. The steps and platform are serrated anti-slip grating. The steps also feature anti-slip nosings which are a must for wet weather and night time conditions.

At the top of the access system there is a locking mechanism which keeps the system locked firmly during normal operating practices.

Access system folds forward for major engine repairs & radiator repairs. Folds around quickly by removing rear rubber isomounting locating bolts.

The system also features two rubber mounting brackets for hinching the system open, and to allow the system to open all major engine parts. In this position, the whole boarding system is vertically mounted on the radiator. Couling by two mounting points and the whole system folds forward with the radiator couling allowing for engine changeout, without having to remove the access system. When the system is folded back to its normal position the back, bottom, horizontal, mounting block is refastened with ease, returning it to operational mode.
