Some forklift seats and tractor seats look similar, but there are clear differences. A forklift seat is compact, sturdy and especially suitable for indoor use, such as warehouses and distribution centers. A tractor seat is wider, more heavily built and better able to handle the shocks that come with outdoor work in agriculture and earthmoving. Always choose a seat that is specifically designed for your vehicle and working environment.
This is the most important choice when buying a forklift or tractor seat. Mechanically suspended seats work with a spring system that you adjust based on your body weight. They are robust, low-maintenance and suitable for most standard applications. Mechanical seats are the best-selling and most affordable option.
Air suspended seats work with an air cushion that continuously moves with the surface. This provides significantly better vibration absorption, which is especially noticeable on uneven terrain, during prolonged use or for drivers with back problems. An air suspended tractor seat or forklift seat is more expensive to purchase but pays for itself in comfort and health benefits. Do you drive a lot on rough terrain or do you work more than six hours a day on your vehicle? Then an air suspended seat is strongly recommended.
A common mistake when buying a forklift or tractor seat is not checking the track width. The track width is the distance between the mounting points on the floor of your cab. The most common track widths are 160mm, 200mm and 270mm, but there are also vehicles with different measurements. Always measure the track width of your current seat or cab before ordering a new seat. A seat with the wrong track width simply will not fit without modifications. On the technical drawing included with our seats you can read the track width – all other dimensions are also indicated there so you can always be sure that everything fits.
In addition to the track width, the width of the seat is also important. A wide tractor seat will not fit in a narrow forklift cab. Check the maximum width your cab allows and compare this with the product specifications on the technical drawing included with the seats.
More and more modern forklifts and tractors are equipped with a seat detection system. This system ensures that the vehicle does not drive or perform certain functions when no one is sitting on the seat, an important safety feature. If your vehicle uses this, you need a seat with a seat detection connection. This is a contact switch in the seat that sends a signal as soon as the driver sits on the seat. Check in your vehicle's manual whether a seat detection connection is required. A seat without this connection on a vehicle that requires it leads to malfunctions or the failure of driving functions.
Do you work on a family business and want to let a child ride safely on the tractor? Then a child seat is the best option. These seats feature a 5-point harness, comparable to a car seat. When purchasing, pay attention to the maximum weight class of the child seat and whether the child seat meets the applicable safety standards.
