- Tilt Steering Wheel: This refers to a steering wheel that can be adjusted to different angles to accommodate the driver’s preference and comfort. The tilt feature allows the steering wheel to be moved up or down within a certain range, making it easier for drivers of different heights and driving styles to find a comfortable position. This adjustability can enhance driving comfort and ergonomics, helping to reduce fatigue during long drives.
- Tilt Cab: This refers to a type of vehicle cab, often found in trucks and commercial vehicles, that can be tilted forward or backward to provide access to the engine and other components for maintenance and repairs. While commonly associated with cab-over-engine (COE) designs, where the entire cab tilts forward, it can also apply to conventional truck designs where only the engine cowl or hood tilts up. This design feature simplifies maintenance and can reduce downtime by providing easier access to critical mechanical parts.
