Low-profile machine cabin
A cabin for a machine is disclosed. The cabin may include a floor, a roof, at least one A-post located at a leading end relative to a forward travel direction of the machine, and a C-post located at a trailing end opposite the at least one A-post. The C-post may have first terminal ends located at the floor and second terminal ends located at the roof. The C-post may include a C-shaped beam having the first terminal ends, and a Y-shaped beam structure having the second terminal ends. The Y-shaped beam structure may extend from the C-shaped beam to the roof. The Y-shaped beam structure may include two spaced beams.
1. A cabin for a machine, comprising:

2. The cabin of claim 1 , wherein the two spaced beams are parallel at a first portion of the Y-shaped beam structure and the two spaced beams diverge at a second portion of the Y-shaped beam structure.
3. The cabin of claim 1 , wherein the Y-shaped beam structure includes an air duct located between the two spaced beams.
4. The cabin of claim 1 , wherein the C-shaped beam has a middle section connecting the first terminal ends,
wherein the middle section is orthogonal to the two spaced beams.
5. The cabin of claim 1 , further comprising:
a seat,
wherein the first terminal ends of the C-post terminate at opposing sides of the seat, and
wherein the second terminal ends of the C-post terminate at opposing sides of the seat.
6. The cabin of claim 1 , wherein the floor includes a floor beam, and
wherein the first terminal ends of the C-post are attached to the floor beam.
7. The cabin of claim 1 , wherein the roof includes a roof beam, and
wherein the second terminal ends of the C-post are attached to the roof beam.
8. A machine, comprising:
a cabin including a floor, a roof, at least one A-post located at a leading end relative to a forward travel direction of the machine, and a C-post,
the C-post located at a trailing end opposite the at least one A-post, the C-post having first terminal ends located at the floor and second terminal ends located at the roof, the C-post including:
a C-shaped beam having the first terminal ends, and
a Y-shaped beam structure having the second terminal ends,
the Y-shaped beam structure extending from the C-shaped beam to the roof.
9. The machine of claim 8 , wherein the roof is planar.
10. The machine of claim 8 , wherein the Y-shaped beam structure includes two spaced beams.
11. The machine of claim 8 , further comprising:
an HVAC unit mounted to the Y-shaped beam structure.
12. The machine of claim 8 , further comprising:
an HVAC unit mounted to a plate of the Y-shaped beam structure,
wherein the plate forms a wall of an air duct.
13. The machine of claim 8 , wherein the Y-shaped beam structure is angled away from a plane defined by the C-shaped beam.
14. The machine of claim 8 , wherein the cabin further includes at least one B-post between the at least one A-post and the C-post.
15. A motor grader, comprising:
a floor;
a roof; and
a C-post located at a trailing end relative to a forward travel direction of the motor grader, the C-post having first terminal ends located at the floor and second terminal ends located at the roof, the C-post including:
a C-shaped beam having the first terminal ends, and
a Y-shaped beam structure having the second terminal ends,
the Y-shaped beam structure extending from the C-shaped beam to the roof, and
the Y-shaped beam structure including two spaced beams and an air duct located between the two spaced beams.
16. The motor grader of claim 15 , wherein the two spaced beams are parallel at a first portion of the Y-shaped beam structure and the two spaced beams diverge at a second portion of the Y-shaped beam structure.
17. The motor grader of claim 15 , wherein the air duct includes a first plate and a second plate,
the first plate and the second plate attached to the two spaced beams to define a void space between the two spaced beams.
18. The motor grader of claim 15 , wherein the C-shaped beam has a middle section connecting the first terminal ends.
19. The motor grader of claim 18 , wherein the Y-shaped beam structure extends from the middle section.
