FREQUENTLY ASKED SEAT QUESTIONS

1. What is the best material for a vehicle seat?

When selecting a work vehicle seat, it's important to know what types of seat cover materials are available and consider relevant environmental factors. If your vehicle is exposed to the elements without a cabin, PVC upholstery would be a good choice for your seat, but an array of fabric and leather materials are also an option for your comfort and use.

2. Is the seat adjustable?

An adjustable seat provides more flexibility and comfort while operating your vehicle. It allows you to adjust the seat position according to your preferences and body type. The more options the seat has, the better it can be customised to fit your body type.

3. Does the seat have shock absorption?

Working on some vehicles involves uneven terrain and bumpy conditions. Therefore, it's essential for the seat to offer shock absorption. This helps reduce the impact of rough and uneven surfaces, allowing you to ride comfortably and safely, even in challenging conditions. TEK provides seats with good mechanical or air suspension that offer shock absorption. In addition to proper suspension, shocks can also be absorbed through an integrated shock absorber in the seat itself. This shock absorber acts as a spring system that reduces the impact of rough and bumpy terrains.

4. Are armrests present?

Armrests can provide additional support to your arms and help reduce fatigue while driving. Check if the seat has armrests and whether they are adjustable to create optimal support.

5. Does the seat have lumbar support?

Proper lumbar support is essential for maintaining an ergonomic seating posture. It supports the lower back and reduces the risk of back pain. Choose a seat with adjustable lumbar support for an optimal fit.

6. Are seat belts provided?

Safety should always be a priority on any vehicle. Check if the seat comes with seat belts (or if they can be added) to ensure you are properly secured and protected while operating your vehicle. If you already have a seat but the seat belt needs replacing, we offer an extensive range of seat belts suitable for your seat.

7. Is the seat suitable for my body type?

People have different body types, and it's important that the seat fits your body structure well. Choose a seat with the right width, height, and shape to sit comfortably and have full control over the vehicle.

8. Does the seat have ventilation or heating?

Some seats can provide additional features that enhance the comfort of operating a seat. Consider features such as seat heating for colder conditions or a ventilation system for warmer summer days.

9. Is the seat for a single operator or multiple operators?

If multiple operators use the vehicle, it's important to choose a seat with ample adjustment options so that it can be customised to fit each operator's body structure.

10. Can the seat be properly installed on my vehicle?

Not every seat is compatible with every work vehicle. Check the seat's mounting method and compare it with the specific vehicle requirements.
