Grammer AG, October 24, 2022 – When bauma opens its doors for the 33rd time from October 24 to 30, 2022, the Munich fairgrounds will play host to the international construction machinery industry for seven days. As one of the world’s top OEM and aftermarket seat manufacturers, Grammer will of course be on hand to present a cross-section of its new products for construction machinery at Stand 349 in Hall 6. True to the motto “the team is the star”, the focus will not be on individual seats but on various combinations of seats and upgrades providing the right solution for every application.
“Safe, comfortable and sustainable – these are the defining characteristics of all our products for construction machinery,” says Dr. Andreas Diehl, President Division Commercial Vehicles, Grammer AG. “Professionals do important work day for day at construction sites around the world. And we want to help them by giving them the possibility of structuring their workplace independently. No matter whether it’s the first six-way adjustable control pod carrier on the market for top ergonomics, signal-colored belts, Haptic Warning for greater safety, headrest speakers or new upholstery options, our employees are always dedicated to constantly improving construction machinery seats. The fact that we have succeeded in doing this yet again makes me proud of my team, and I’m looking forward to seeing the public response at the 30th bauma trade show in Munich.”
Top ergonomics and maximum safety
Among other things, seats from the MSG97, MSG285 and MSG75 series will be on display at Stand 349 at the Munich fairgrounds. However, the focus will be on Grammer’s “modular principle”. A short or a long backrest combined with various upgrade options, OEM and aftermarket customers can put together the seat that meets their requirements perfectly.
Exclusive to Grammer is the world’s first six-way adjustable control pod carrier: In addition to length and inclination, the new ErgoPlus system can also be adjusted in height. In this way, it offers a major advantage in terms of ergonomics and makes an important contribution to a healthy and low-fatigue workplace in construction machinery with joystick controls.
The orange seat belts fitted to all seats on display at the stand are also a real eye-catcher. Grammer is using them to support industrial compensation society BG BAU’s “Wann schnallst du’s?” (“When will you realize you have to buckle up?”) campaign. The message is clear: Many accidents involving construction machinery result in serious injuries or fatalities because the machine operators do not fasten their seat belts and are hurt when the vehicles tip over. The signal color not only highlights the importance of wearing seat belts in construction machinery but also enables supervisors to see more clearly at a distance whether their employees have buckled up.
