The all-steel cab was a forward control type, with pressed steel doors and controlled drop windows. Twin panel windscreens of large area, together with two shaped quarter lights, afforded excellent all-round vision. The engine cowl was well sealed to reduce noise and vibration, and to eliminate fumes from the cab.

If required, a helical spring type attachment could be fitted for rear towing.
