Universal Forklift Seats Fit Most Vehicles

There is one part on a forklift that generally wears out faster than any other. It is subject to continuous friction, constantly bears weight, and is of central importance to the efficient operation of the vehicle.

It’s the forklift seat, of course. In the life cycle of a forklift, the seat is the part that probably is going to be replaced the most.

It’s also the primary point of contact between the operator and the vehicle.  So if it’s not a comfortable fit, it can literally be a pain in the backside.

Yet replacing the forklift seat is not always as easy as removing the old seat and replacing it with an identical part. What if an OME seat is not immediately available for delivery? What if it is out of production and new seats are no longer available? Or what if the forklift’s original seat was a poor design and wasn’t comfortable?

That’s where universal forklift seats come into play.

Universal Forklift Seats — Not Actually Universal

As the name implies, universal forklift seats are designed to fit into practically any forklift, regardless of its make, model, or age. But they aren’t actually universal in the sense that they can be plugged into any forklift’s cabin seat configuration.

While they will fit most, they don’t always fit all forklifts. You may need to buy additional equipment to anchor them properly for safety and comfort. It’s a good idea to check with the manufacturer of the universal forklift seat you want before purchasing it to see if it will instantly fit into your forklift or if you will need to do some additional rigging.

Universal Forklift Seats — Get It Now

Despite this, the benefit of universal forklift seats is that they are usually available immediately and can be installed right now. There’s no waiting around for an OME replacement seat to be shipped from the manufacturer or searching around online or on the phone to find exactly the seat you need. Instead, you can get what you need right away.

If you have a forklift with a broken or worn seat, it may mean your vehicle needs to be taken out of service until the seat can be replaced. And any forklift at is making deliveries isn’t making money for your business.

Universal forklift seats allow you to get your forklift seat replaced immediately so you can get your vehicle back in service and into production right away, eliminating costly downtime while maximizing driver comfort.
