The result is one of the industry's most ergonomically advanced armrests designed for optimal comfort and operation," says Jared Ranly, marketing product manager, Crown Equipment.
The fully adjustable, D4 Armrest features a large surface area with a breathable pad that pulls moisture from the operator's arm and is replaceable as wear and tear occur.
