Abstract

A cab for a construction machine includes an operator's seat within a cab box. Consoles are provided on the left and right sides of the operator's seat, respectively, and a switch box is provided on an outer side of an operating lever of the right console. Provided on the switch box are a control dial for variably controlling rotational speed of an engine, a working mode selector switch, and a vehicle drive mode selector switch. An operator who is seated on the operator's seat can manipulate the switches on the switch box by stretching a right arm toward the operating lever and by blind touch.
