An operator's compartment for an industrial vehicle comprises a platform
floor, an operator's seat, at least one presence sensing device and a
control module. The operator's seat has a base structure coupled to the
platform floor and an operator support coupled to the base structure such
that the operator support may be rotated with respect to the platform
floor. Each provided presence sensing device is arranged to sense an
operator's presence in a predetermined location in or about the
operator's compartment and the control module is configured to control at
least one operation of the vehicle based upon a rotational position of
the operator's seat and a signal from at least one of the presence
sensing device(s).
