Seats for tractors, heavy machinery and more

Features and functions

• The seat has to comply with all EU directives and international standards on safety, flammability, vibration classes and ergonomic requirements.
  
• The seat must have a comfortable damping system for reducing vibrations and shocks. It has to effectively reduce or avoid the transmission of vehicle movements to the driver through modern technologies such as pneumatic suspensions or similar.
  
• The backrest has to provide adequate support for the spine in line with the machinery’s area of use and at the same time allow the upper body to move freely and prevent a build-up of tension with features such as adjustable armrests. This also ensures that drivers can easily look to the side or rear as necessary.
  
• The seat has to offer comprehensive adjustment options for the seat’s length, height and backrest angle to allow it to be adjusted for maximum comfort and support. The backrest has to be firm, offer adequate lateral support and include an adjustable armrest to ensure an ergonomic and comfortable sitting position.
  
• For optimum comfort, the seat’s surface, depth and tilt need to be adjustable independently of each other, with manual or automatic adjustment of the seat to suit the driver’s weight. In addition, all of the controls must be within easy reach even while driving.
  
• The seat must have durable, hard-wearing and high quality covers to ensure long-lasting seating comfort.hlen.

Additional extras for greater comfort

• Heated seats are particularly beneficial during the colder months, as they prevent the back from getting too cold and becoming tense. On warm days, on the other hand, cooled seats or seat ventilation systems can help remove perspiration moisture for added comfort. Seat covers made of materials with temperature-regulating properties also help to create a good environmental climate for drivers.
• Seats with a swivel function make it much easier to board a vehicle and allow greater rearward visibility.
• Other extras that increase comfort include lateral suspension, a choice of seat widths, a second armrest or a backrest extension (for seats with short backrests), or a special headrest (for seats with long backrests).
• Excavator drivers often benefit from seats that can be adjusted horizontally independently of the joystick consoles.
• A massage function can provide additional comfort, especially in vehicles where drivers have to sit for extended periods of time.
• Individually adjustable side guides enable even better adaptation of the seats to suit the driver’s ergonomic requirements.
• Memory functions that save individual seat and position settings are an extremely useful feature in vehicles used by multiple drivers.
