Summary:

A suspension seat has been developed for earthmoving and other off-highway vehicles, following specific guidelines established by the manufacturers of such vehicles.A wide range of adjustments is provided to properly position the operator relative to the various vehicle controls.Several new ideas are employed, such as a fore-aft slide with self-cleaning rollers, a mechanical suspension spring system which provides air spring characteristics, and a seat/suspension package which will meet the SAE recommended practice for seat belt attachment strength without the need for additional tether belts
