Unlike cars, forklifts have no springs or shock absorbers. The seat is the only thing protecting the operator from the bumps, jolts and shocks that happen when you’re driving through a facility or across a lumberyard. A poorly constructed seat or a seat that’s “past its prime” offers no support or protection to your operator. All that wear and tear on the body can cause lower back injuries that increase operator absenteeism, destroy morale, and even lead to worker’s compensation claims.
Certainly, a seat that’s compressed, uneven, or ripped should be replaced. But not all damage is visible, so it is crucial to check with your operators. The people who use the forklifts every day are your best sources of feedback on seats.
