Abstract
The use of load lifting/handling equipment makes workplaces dangerous given the high potential for injury, loss of life and material damage. Cranes are extremely important component in many different industrial operations today. Previous researches have highlighted the need of such equipment to be safely operated and easily maintained, while associated human errors should be considerably reduced. Hence, human centered issues have to be analyzed first and according to those conclusions certain innovations are necessary. This survey offers new crane cabin design based on univariate and multivariate approaches applied on operators’ anthropometric data in aim to enable their ergonomic convenience. Later, design issues are solved, through static and dynamic calculations using finite method elements in that context. Finally, crane cabin design in the light of Industry 4.0 concept is further analyzed together with inventions that are helpful there. Accordingly, we can conclude that in crane cabins development process proposed innovations are needed and very beneficial.

Previous research demonstrated that 42% of all accidents are linked to the crane cabin design [9]
According to results of this paper an answer on question if there were innovations needed in the crane cabins development process is positive
Summary
The use of load lifting/handling equipment makes workplaces dangerous given the high potential for injury, loss of life and material damage. Previous research demonstrated that 42% of all accidents are linked to the crane cabin design [9]. There is the explicit need for more objective, theoretically justified and consistent models in crane cabins development process. We expect that answer on question if there are innovations needed in crane cabins development process is positive. Since according to Spasojevic Brkic et al [11], Swuste [12] and Milazzo et al [10] scenarios such as ‘crane instability, ‘jib instability’ and ‘hoisting equipment instability’ today contribute less than human centered problems to accidents today, human centered issues have to be analyzed and according to those conclusion certain innovations should be proposed. Conclusion is the last part of this paper that circumscribes the discussed issues
