ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY USED IN LATEST SEATS FROM SEARS

The world's leading, and longest established, manufacturer of industrial seats is again leading the way with its latest range of advanced seats, designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction quarrying and mining applications.

The latest seats all have the durability to cope with the harsh conditions, while providing the highest level of comfort for the operator. Allowing full adjustment in height, forwards and backwards, seat cushion and back angling and many other adjustments, Sears seats can be adjusted to suit individual operator preference.

Advanced air and mechanical suspension systems help reduce vibration while lumbar supports, headrests and the seat contour are ergonomically designed for safety and to reduce the risk of lower back injury - a common occurrence amongst construction equipment operators.

The company also has a range of seats that use computer and other sophisticated technology to virtually eliminate all vibration to the operator, in full compliance with EU regulation on whole body vibration.

Advanced Backhoe-Loader Seats for Easy Retro-Fitting

If your backhoe-loader seat seen better days, now Sears Seating has an economical solution.

A comfortable, efficient seat is essential for all construction equipment operators. None more so than backhoe-loader operators who not only have to operate the machine on site as a wheel loader or as an excavator, but very often need to travel from location to location.

Not only is an efficient seat essential for comfort, there are also the personal health risks to consider of which many are attributable to poor seating.

Now there is a simple solution – retrofit the latest in mechanical or air suspension seats. Sears Seating has developed the latest advanced 3000 and 5000 suspension seat ranges specifically for backhoe-loaders.

Fitted by OEMs, these backhoe-loader seats are now available from Sears through their dealer network.

The Sears 3000 and 5000 seat ranges are in full compliance with, or even exceed the very high performance standards of ISO 6683, SAE J386 and exceed the requirements of ISO 7096.

More Comfort. More Support

These retrofit backhoe-loader seats are a very cost effective solution.

The Sears 3000 and 5000 seat ranges for backhoe-loaders have many advanced features, such as an ergonomically sculptured back support for full range of movement, air lumbar support, infinite seat back angle adjustment, seat cushion angle adjustment and extension, adjustable arm rests, wide double depth cushions and more. All this mounted on a fully adjustable, low natural frequency base.

Being able to adjust the seat position to meet an operator's specific preference means a comfortable, convenient seating position, which increases productivity by reducing fatigue.

The Most Advanced Excavator Seats

Sears also offer a range of seats for all types of excavators. They are designed to meet the specific needs of excavator operators, and built to the same very high standards of all Sears' seats to meet or exceed relevant ISO and BS standards. Such is the quality, that these seats are fitted as standard into many leading brands of excavator.

Fully adjustable for convenience and to meet each operator's preference, with appropriate control pods, the Sears excavator seats provide all the ergonomic support to reduce fatigue and provide the necessary level of safety combined with comfort and durability.

Introducing the Ultimate Seat

For severe duty and very heavy mining and quarrying equipment, Sears is introducing a new range to meet the demanding requirements.

Called the Ultimate range, they offer the ultimate in comfort, durability and ride. Fitted with patented TOGGLE LINK™ low frequency Airide® suspension and patented DuraPuck™ slides. The Ultimate range has been industry proven and is factory fitted by Caterpillar and Hitachi into their mining trucks. Now these seats are also available for retrofitting

Standard features include infinite height and weight adjustment, fold-up armrests with angle adjusting, adjustable damper and durable fabric covering.

Leaders in Seat Design Technology

Founded in 1855, the Sears Manufacturing Company is probably the world's longest established company specialising in the design and manufacture of seating for industrial and commercial vehicles.

Working in partnership with major equipment manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Deere, CASE and many others (for which the company produces branded seats), Sears Seating has a wide range of seats that meet the demands of the industry, the operator and all appropriate health and safety regulations.

Such is the range of seats and configurations available, that there is no need for compromise on such important issues such as health, safety and comfort.

Replacing or upgrading the existing seat is usually a simple, economical way to provide the operator with a safer, more comfortable seat, and Sears' engineers are able to provide full assistance through an established dealer network.
