A Truck Seat with Advanced Features 892522

TRUCK SEATS WHICH ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE TODAY FOR THE MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY TRUCK MARKET REPRESENT THE STATE OF THE ART AS IT HAS EXISTED FOR THE LAST DECADE. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL SEATS WHICH OFFER SOME IMPROVED FEATURES, THEY ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE AND SUFFER RELIABILITY PROBLEMS.
THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS NEW TRUCK SEAT IS TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF MANY FLEETS IN TODAYS COMPETITIVE TRUCK ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE AN ECONOMICALLY CORRECT DESIGN WITH ADVANCE FEATURES AT A COMPETITIVE COST. WHILE MAINTAINING DURABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND REDUCING WEIGHT.
MANY OF THE ADVANCED FEATURES, WHICH ARE NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN TODAYS SEATS. ARE PROVIDED TO COMFORTABLY ACCOMMODATE AN INCREASED RANGE OF OPERATORS SIZES.
THE USE OF LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE PLASTICS COMBINED WITH THE PATENTED FABRIFORM® MOLDED CUSHIONS WERE KEY FEATURES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRIMARY PRODUCT. THE INCORPORATION OF RELIABLE PNEUMATIC ADJUSTMENTS WAS CRUCIAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADVANCED FEATURES.
