Truck with air-suspended ISRI truck seat

3 reasons why an ISRI truck seat is usually air-suspended

July 22, 2024

A truck driver often works long days. Not all (international) roads are equally passable and good protection against shocks and vibrations is then important. Partly for this reason, a truck seat is always equipped with a suspension package. Usually, a truck seat is air-suspended. Why this is so, we explain in this blog.

ISRI truck seat with air suspension optimally protects the body

A truck seat equipped with air suspension, uses air compression to dampen shocks and vibrations. As a result, they are constantly, optimally absorbed which ensures a smooth driving experience, even over long distances. Mechanically suspended seats can absorb shock more limitedly, making them more suitable for short-term use. It is sometimes mistakenly thought that air suspension is more expensive than mechanical suspension; you get a lot more suspension in return that you need to protect your body.

Air-suspended truck seat makes height adjustment more precise

Another feature of truck seat with air suspension, is that the seat can easily be adjusted (semi) automatically according to the weight of the driver. The seat adjusts itself to the correct height according to weight, which is essential for proper seating. Mechanical suspension seats typically offer less flexibility. For example, the seat height can only be adjusted mechanically, which is less precise.

Air-suspended truck seat is more extensively adjustable

An air suspension truck seat is usually more extensively adjustable than a mechanical suspension seat. A seat that is more extensively adjustable provides better support for the body, which is not only healthier but also prevents fatigue while driving.
