Health is an important basis for performance, motivation and concentration An ergonomic workplace enables the spine and musculoskeletal system to remain healthy
Ergonomics - prerequisite for Health and Performance
Making this possible in the cab of a forklift truck places special demands on quality and design. Industrial trucks are mostly in operation every day, on a wide variety of surfaces, from the smooth floor of a warehouse, over cobblestones or even in off-road use. Shocks and machine vibrations are transmitted to the cab without suspension. The driver´s seat absorbs these, which is hard work for the spring assembly and cushion, often in 3-shift operation. Driver seats in industrial trucks not only have to be robust, they should also be easy to adjust so that optimum spring comfort is guaranteed for every driver. Many models also offer lumbar support and an extendable or extra-high backrest. Important in the choice of seat, in addition to the vehicle and area of use, are the height and stature of the operator

. Comfort even under extreme climatic conditions.

Forklift drivers often work in extreme climatic conditions, That is why almost all forklift seats are also available with heating systems. For particularly hot workplaces seats with passive or active cooling climate system are available.
Right of way for more safety.

Forklift accidents, still too often, take a dramatic outcome. Seat belts installed in the seat keep the driver in the seat in an emergency. If a seat belt buckle with monitoring and/or a seat contact switch is installed, starting is prevented when the seat belt is unfastened.
