With the MSG45, the S731 and our other seating solutions, we’re offering some exciting products for the green industry and equipment market that is really big here in the U.S. and therefor very important to us.”
High-quality seating solutions for outdoor equipment
With the opportunity of both indoor and outdoor space available, Grammer will present its products on the two booths 10070 and 6260D. There, Grammer will showcase its great knowhow when it comes to seating expertise. One of the highlights on display will be the Grammer MSG45, a low-profile mechanical suspension seat, that provides comfort, safety, and durability. It offers fore/aft adjustment as well as backrest angle adjustment and was designed to accommodate all body sizes and types. Seatbelts and an operator presence switch keep the user safe.
With the S731 seat top for Turf Market, Grammer shows an entry product that fits for a wide range of mower seating platforms, from basic static seats to suspended seats. A cut and sew design in different colors and styles makes it the ideal choice for customization. In terms of quality and design, the seat is on a par with high-quality Grammer products for agricultural machinery with the basis of a sturdy metal frame for long durability. Two highlight features are the easy replacement of the cushions without having to change the entire seat and the modularity of the S731 to be easily upgraded to a suspension seat.
These Grammer products among others can be found on the booths 10070 and 6260D of the GIE+EXPO that will run from October 20-22, 2021, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
