Garbage Truck Seat Supplier for Machine Builders and Distributors:Seat Cover Material Listed Model by Model
KL Seating is a garbage truck seat supplier and factory direct manufacturer for refuse truck builders, municipal fleet workshops, distributors and importers. Garbage trucks sit in the ground support and municipal group of our application list, next to sweepers and aerial work platforms.
On a refuse route the seat surface is the part a buyer asks about first, because the seat is wiped down often. This page puts the published cover material of each model side by side, so you can shortlist before you write to us.
Our sheets hold no data specific to garbage trucks and no table that links a truck model to a seat model. Send the truck make and model, photos of the old seat, the base hole pattern and the voltage situation, and we reply with a matching model and its parameter sheet.
- Seat manufacturer since 2007, own brand KL Seating since 2016
- 500,000 seats a year from our own production lines
- ISO 9001:2015, CE, RoHS and REACH certificates
- OEM and ODM service with customized, modular seat systems
In each column: upper square PVC, lower square fabric.
Seat Cover Material: PVC as the Main Cover, Fabric on Four Models
PVC is the main cover material across our whole range. Four models also offer a fabric cover: KL01, YS15, YJ03 and YY03. The other nine models in the lists below are PVC only on their sheets.
- Colors are published for a few models.
- Black is the stated color on KL11, YS15 and YJ03.
- Wherever a sheet gives no color, the color is a question for the factory and goes into the enquiry.

The chart repeats the sheets. It names no model for any garbage truck.

Models With a PVC or Fabric Choice: KL01, YS15, YJ03 and YY03
These four models list both covers on their sheets. The published data of each is below, so you can shortlist before you write.
If you choose fabric on one of these four, write the cleaning routine of the cab into the first message. Whether a fabric cover suits that routine is answered by the factory, and this page makes no statement on it.

Wiping Down a PVC Cover
A PVC surface can be wiped down.
- This page states
- That sentence, nothing more.
- Not on our sheets
- We publish no figure and no claim on stain behavior, resistance to cleaning agents, hygiene treatment or odor, because our sheets contain none.
- How to ask
- If your route work needs a specific cleaning agent, state the agent by name in the enquiry, together with the cover you are considering, and the factory answers for the model you shortlist. Send the cover question and the agent name.
Other Selection Points for a Refuse Truck Seat
The cover comes first on this page, and a few other points follow it.

Getting in and out
Crews climb into and out of the cab many times in a shift. Seat height and the free space in front of the seat are measured on your truck by you. Send the figures, and we reply with the models whose published adjustment ranges fit.
Turning to look
The operator turns the head often, so backrest angle range and headrest availability are read from the parameter sheet of the shortlisted model.
Armrest and seat belt
Both are listed as optional parts on many models. The option list of each model is on its parameter sheet, and anything not listed is a question to the factory.
