Grammer introduces new seats
Amberg, Germany
Grammer AG introduced two new seats specially designed for the US market at CONEXPO last week. The seats were postponed for two years as a result of the recession.
The MSG97AL/742 is built for heavy-duty use in the mining and forestry industries. The seat can be longitudinally adjusted in the range of 210mms (8.2 inches). The other seat is the MSG75GL/531, a comfort seat for large landscaping equipment, compact construction machines and forklifts. Grammer claims it is the first seat manufacturer worldwide to offer a very low profile, low-frequency pneumatic suspension seat for that market segment. It claims to have reduced vertical vibrations by 20%, compared to conventional air-suspended seats, with its new comfort seat.
