Lochmann Cabins

What Lochmann Cabins does

Lochmann Cabine S.r.l., trading as Lochmann Cabins (Lochmann Kabinen), is a South Tyrolean, family-owned manufacturer of operator driver cabins for off-highway vehicles. Founded in 1983 by Gerhard Lochmann as a carve-out of the broader Lochmann family business (which traces to 1949), the company designs and produces custom-engineered cabins for agricultural tractors, combine harvesters and sprayers, construction and earthmoving equipment (excavators, wheel loaders, backhoes, dumpers), municipal vehicles (sweepers, snow ploughs, salt spreaders), railway maintenance vehicles, forklifts, and special-purpose machines such as snow groomers and forestry tracked vehicles. Its headquarters and primary production are in Truden (Trentino-Alto Adige), Italy, with the wider Lochmann Group operating five production facilities across South Tyrol.

The company's product portfolio splits between two lines: a custom OEM line, where cabins are co-developed with machinery manufacturers from prototype through type-approval testing, and the Intercabin modular platform, a configurable cabin designed to retrofit multiple machine types via standardized mounting points without machine modification. Manufacturing capabilities span welding (DIN EN ISO 3834 certified), sheet metal processing, CNC machining, in-house tooling (welding jigs, glass molds, interior panel/roof molds), cataphoresis anti-corrosion pre-treatment, and 3D measurement for quality control. Cabins undergo routine ROPS, FOPS, TOPS, EOPS and OPS structural testing, EN 15695-1:2009 Category 4 pressure testing for chemical protection, and 2009/76/CE noise testing. Quality management is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015.

Lochmann generates revenue through two channels: direct project-based sales to OEM machinery manufacturers ("prestigious international brands" of tractors, construction and special vehicles), and aftermarket sales of replacement and retrofit cabins to end users via a dense, regularly updated dealer network spanning Europe. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via custom quotes managed by in-house project managers. The company also operates an online spare-parts shop and an Intercabin online configurator, indicating selective digital commerce for the modular line. Ownership remains within the Lochmann family, with Stefan Lochmann running the cabin entity since 2013 after inheriting it from his father.
