A NEW model range of driver and co-driver seats, marketed under the name of "Novaride" is the direct result of collaboration between A. W. Chapman Ltd of Rodd Industrial Estate, Shepperton, Middlesex and a West German company, AG Bremshey.
The two companies have pooled their combined years of experience in design and manufacture to produce three new models with varying amounts of adjustment. The suspension seat at the top of the range incorporates all the features of the other two.
Spring and hydraulic damper setting is adjustable to the driver's weight, independently of the height adjuster mechanism. Dual locked slides, operated by lift-up bar, offer adjustment fore and aft. The backrest reclines right down and the seat cushion also has tilt adjustment.
Both static and suspension models meet the ISO 2631 1974 standard which relates to driver's fatigue over an eighthour period.
