Where is the direction and transmission control lever located?

The direction and transmission control lever is typically located on the left side of the steering column. This position allows for easier access and manipulation by the operator while maintaining focus on driving and operating the crane. The placement on the left means that the operator can quickly and comfortably reach for the lever without having to take their hands off the steering wheel or look away from the work area, enhancing both safety and efficiency.

This ergonomic design is standard across many crane models, promoting a natural flow of movement and helping operators to manage the vehicle's direction and transmission effectively. Since the lever's accessibility is crucial for operational control, its location is intentionally designed to align with the operator's workflow, making it a vital aspect of crane operation.
