Disclosed is a material handling apparatus with a cab and a body mounted on a truck frame. An articulating crane is mounted on the frame between the cab and the body and is responsive to controls within the cab. As the operator sits at the controls in the cab, visibility of the crane operation is provided by a rear window in the cab and a cut out corner portion of the body. An auxiliary seat and set of controls is provided so that the operator can control the crane from either side of the cab. A second cut out corner portion improves visibility from the auxiliary seat.
