The seat will wipe clean. With all components tested in welding environments, the seat's ergonomic design promotes increased productivity, according to the company. The round ring height adjustment control can be accessed from any seating position to move the seat from its low setting of 15-1/2" to 20-1/2" or its high setting of 19-1/2" to 26-1/2". The Welding Stool includes an 18” diameter steel tool tray, and it meets and exceeds BIFMA testing standards.

Selling points

  • The specially formulated polyurethane seat is resistant to weld splatter. 
  • Round ring control provides convenient 360-degree lift activation for adjusting seat height.
  • The reinforced steel base pan provides rigidity and versatility for use in rugged environment.

Features and benefits

  • Welding operators most often have to stand all day to perform their tasks. Most stools are not suitable in a welding environment because the heat and weld splatter destroy the seats. The fatigue from standing all day greatly impacts productivity.
  • The specially formulated PU seat on this welding stool is constructed in such a way the weld splatter bounces off the seat and can be wiped off without deteriorating the seat. For the first time, welders can now benefit from a soft padded stool that allows them to be ergonomically positioned to do their tasks and maximize their productivity.
  • The welding stool come with a pneumatic lift that allows to easily adjust the seat height for low height and standard height applications. Welders no longer have to squat down uncomfortably or be unstable. Model 1010302 provides seat height range from 15 1/2” to 20 1/2”; Model 1010303 provides seat height range from 19 1/2” to 26 1/2”.
  • Large 3” industrial castors provide mobility. Two of the five casters have locking feature which allows the operator to lock the stool from moving when performing precise tasks.
  • The base pan allows provides storage space for weld supplies, tools and fasteners allowing productivity increase by having all the necessary supplies at the point of operation.

Origin

Many welders stand all day long or sit on inverted steel buckets since a conventional stool cannot withstand the heat from weld splatters. Additionally, when welding is done in low height like on a chassis or body shop, frequently welders have to squat down and be in a very uncomfortable position. This results in poor productivity and potentially health issues for operators.

Manufacturing specs

The seat is made of a specially formulated integral skin polyurethane. The round ring mechanism, pneumatic gas lift base pan are all out of steel. Model 1010302 weighs 20 lbs.; Model 1010303 weighs 22 lbs.

Storage and display
