Giantz Tractor Seat Forklift Excavator Truck Backrest Chair Adjustable Universal

Eight hours bolt upright in a forklift cage does your lower back no favours. TS-FORKLIFT-B164S-BK is the reclining seat in the Giantz line-up: a rotary knob on the side releases the backrest so the angle can be dialled to the operator rather than the other way around.

The recline knob is what you are paying for

Most machinery seats fix the back at one angle and leave the operator to cope. A knob-released backrest lets a tall driver open the angle to clear a cage roof, and a short one close it up to reach the controls without perching on the edge of the cushion. On a machine that changes hands between shifts, that adjustment gets used every day. Giantz specifies the range as 40 to 155 degrees in its specification table, while its own description text quotes 45 to 150 degrees — treat the numbers as indicative and check the physical stops on arrival.

180 mm of track, the longest in this range

Fore and aft travel runs to 180 mm on a double steel slide, which is 30 mm more than the other Giantz seats we stock. On a compact tractor that extra reach is often the difference between a comfortable knee bend and a cramped one. The rails are steel and the frame behind them is steel, with high-density foam and a PU leather skin over the top.

Key features

• Rotary knob recline: the backrest releases and locks by hand, no tools and no getting off the seat.
• 180 mm slide range: more fore and aft adjustment than the rest of the Giantz seats listed here.
• Steel frame and rails: metal from the cushion pan down to the mounting face.
• Wipe-clean PU leather: grease and mud come off with a rag instead of soaking into cloth.

Points to settle before ordering

• Base fixings. With no bolt pattern or overall size published for this seat, the only safe approach is to measure the mounting plate on your machine and compare it against the images. Ask us before ordering if the photographs do not resolve it.
• Intended machines. The supplier's application list is tractors, forklifts, sweepers and lawnmowers, with no make or model named. Nothing in the Giantz data cites a seat or restraint standard, and nothing states the seat is suitable for a registered on-road vehicle. That assessment rests with you and your workplace.

Worth a look if adjustability matters more than outright padding, particularly on a shared machine.
