Commercial Vehicle Seating
/
When you are well known for doing one thing, sometimes the other stuff gets overlooked. A significant proportion of our business is supporting the commercial vehicle seating market.
Not a lot of people know that Aircare Systems are parts suppliers to manufacturers of commercial vehicle seating.
Sit Comfortably
The average commute to work is just under an hour a day in total, maybe in a car or perhaps sitting on the bus or train. In either case, we would rightly expect to be comfortably seated. But imagine that driving is your work; your office chair is your vehicle’s seat, your HGV cab is your office. We all deserve to be seated comfortably and healthily at work, be that in an office chair or vehicle seat.
Sadly, drivers sitting long hours behind the wheel can suffer back problems from ill fitting seating that is not providing adequate back support. Here are some of the industries and types of vehicles we assist in producing top notch commercial vehicle seating.
HGV / LGV Type - drivers often cover long distances over long periods, so orthopaedic seating enables them to sit optimally and in comfort.
Dry and consumer goods lorries (rigid or articulated) - sitting with poor posture over a long period impacts on the lower lumber region and leads to poor control, poor visibility and drivers get tired much more quickly.
Emergency vehicles - being comfortable and safe is crucial, an ergonomic seat protects the back and improves posture.
Livestock trucks - good posture while driving is crucial for the body, physical health and work performance.
Refrigerated trucks - sitting in a bad position results in back pain and strain on the lower body.
Specialist vehicles:
Cement mixers - within an industry where drivers are prone to lower back pain with constant lifting, bending and carrying.
Snow ploughs - seating parts need to be durable and weather resistant.
Highway maintenance vehicles - need seating that effectively compensates for vibrations and jolts. This also especially applies to tow trucks and car transporters where seating can be prone to intense wear.
Flatbed lorries and tankers - supportive and correctly fitting seating is crucial in order to prevent back problems.
Custom Passenger Vehicle seats for example M2 Minibus variants and M3 Coaches - a properly fitted seat allows drivers and passengers to sit safely and comfortably for long and short journeys.
Lumbar Support
Incorporating lumbar support into commercial vehicle seating will dramatically improve posture while driving, and encourage a healthy and comfortable driving position. The main function of lumbar support is to maintain the lower back’s natural arch while driving and also prevent rounding of the back.
Aircare Systems specialise in providing lumbar support solutions,
head and neck support, seat base air cells and pneumatic components for many applications of commercial vehicle seating.
