Wheel loader seats

Wheel Loader Seat Supplier for Machine Builders and Distributors:Seven Spec Lines, Every Published Model

KL Seating is a wheel loader seat supplier and factory direct manufacturer for machine builders, distributors and importers. Machine builders write the seat into the loader specification item by item. Distributors and importers receive the same items from their customers as an old seat and a machine model. Both routes end in one reply: a named model from our series with its parameter sheet.

The construction machinery line has five models on the parameter sheet: YL02, YQ40, YQ50, YS2-8 and YS15. Our forklift line adds mechanical suspension models such as KL01 and YY53.

Send the loader make and model, photos of the old seat from the front, the side and underneath, the base hole pattern and the supply voltage. We reply with the matching model and its parameter sheet.

Seat Specification Items for Wheel Loader Buyers: Seven Lines to Fix in the Purchase Spec

Two more lines belong on the same sheet, the base hole pattern and the supply voltage for any seat with electrical parts.

We work from the published parameter sheets. A model that does not list an item on its sheet appears in the tables with a dash, and the factory answers on request.

Suspension Options: Published Travel and Weight Range by Model

Suspension is the first specification line, because a loader works with frequent starts and braking and runs over uneven ground, and the operator sits through the whole shift. The published figures are in the table.

The YQ50 drawing marks air bag suspension. Four items stand on the drawing:

  • Air bag suspension
  • Stepless seat height adjustment over 60 mm
  • A damping function
  • A switch that sets firmness and height to the operator's weight

The sheet and the drawing give no suspension travel or weight range for YQ50.

The suspension type of YS2-8 and YS15 is not stated on the sheets, so we write the travel only. The factory confirms the type on request. YQ40 publishes no suspension data.

For mechanical suspension seats in detail, see mechanical suspension seats. For air bag models in our tractor line, which need a 24 V supply, see air suspension seats. The general overview is on the suspension seats page.

Fore-Aft Slide Options: Travel and Step Size by Model

The slide sets how far the operator sits from the pedals and the controls.

A slide rail is also a listed option on KL01 and KL11, which means the rail can be specified separately from the seat. Ask for the rail line when your loader cab uses its own rail.

Backrest Angle Options: Published Ranges by Model

The backrest range matters on a loader because the operator turns to look at the bucket and the rear.

Write the range your cab needs as two figures, the forward stop and the rear stop. We reply with the models whose published range covers them.

The sheets list optional parts per model. A model shows "Listed" when its sheet lists the option. A dash means the option is not listed on the sheet.

An electronic lock is listed on YS2-8, YS15, KL01 and YY53. A microswitch is listed on KL11 and on YY03 from our forklift line. If your specification needs a microswitch, state what it should signal, and the factory states what the chosen model supports.

Armrest side and belt type are not on the sheets. State them in the enquiry and the factory confirms.

Cover and size

Cover Material and Seat Dimensions: PVC Across the Series

PVC is the main cover material. YS15 and KL01 are listed with PVC or fabric. YQ40, YQ50, YS2-8 and YL02 are listed with PVC. YL02, YQ50 and YS2-8 sheets carry no overall size, so we send it on request.

YQ40 also publishes cushion and backrest dimensions, which makes it the easiest model to check against a cab drawing at the specification stage.

Mounting Data: Base Holes and Supply Voltage Behind the Specification

The base hole pattern completes the specification. YL02 lists three base hole spacings. The YQ40 and YQ50 drawings carry a hole pattern. For YS15 and YS2-8 the sheets list no hole data, so we ask the factory.

Our engineers check the hole pattern and seat outline against your cab with a 3D scan fit check, and the result returns to you on the parameter sheet.

Supply voltage

Any seat with electrical parts needs the supply voltage of the machine on the specification sheet.

State the voltage situation of the loader in the enquiry. The factory states what the chosen model supports.

The sheets list an electronic lock on YS2-8, YS15, KL01 and YY53 and a microswitch on KL11. Where a figure is not on the sheet, the reply says Ask the factory.

Production

Factory Direct Production: Foam Molding, Stamping, Robotic Welding and Assembly

Every seat in these tables runs through the same production path.

  1. Cushion and backrest foam is molded on our line.
  2. Frames and bases are precision stamped.
  3. Frames are welded by robots.
  4. Suspension, slide rails and the chosen options are fitted at assembly.

Frame analysis

Before production, the research and development center runs CAE structural analysis on the seat frame.

Precision testing center

It covers 3D scanning, pressure distribution comfort tests on the cushion and shock absorber mechanical analysis. The shock absorber analysis applies to mechanical suspension models. How air bag models are tested is not published here.

One record chain

MES covers research and development, purchasing, production, quality inspection, warehousing and delivery, so quality inspection and delivery of each seat sit inside one record chain.

Supply routes

OEM and ODM for Loader Builders, Wholesale and Private Label for Distributors

Machine builders

Machine builders use our OEM and ODM service. The cab drawing and hole pattern fix the model, and structural changes go through the research and development center. The seat series is customized and modular, so the option set in your specification can be combined on one base seat.

Distributors and importers

Distributors and importers use wholesale and private label supply: a full series on one sheet, the seat with your own brand. Bulk supply can be arranged by series, with models and options listed on one table.

Model match

Model Match Without a Machine Table: Write and Send Your Lines

The parameter sheets name machine types in the Application column, and no sheet maps wheel loader models to seat models. We do not guess a match from the table. We match from your machine. Send the following, and we reply with the matching model:

  1. Wheel loader make and model.
  2. Photos of the old seat from the front, the side and underneath, and the model plate if there is one.
  3. The base hole pattern, or the machine's seat mounting area.
  4. The voltage situation of the machine, for any seat with electrical parts.
  5. The specification items from the sections above that your loader needs: suspension, slide, backrest, armrest, belt, microswitch, headrest.

Distributors send the end customer's loader model with the old seat photos, and the reply returns to the distributor. For the full routine, see seat fitment and compatibility.
