Kurzfassung

A small Scottish company has developed a specialist shock mitigation seat suitable for use in rig and inflatable boats. Advantages over conventional boat seats include its specialist technology that reduces side jerks and twists that are a major cause of injuries. The company is also interested in technical and commerical agreements with boat builders and manufacturers. In addition, the company is keen to explore product development opportunities.

Details

A Scottish SME has developed and manufactured a range of revolutionary new shock mitigation seating for use in the marine industry. This company has many years of experience in product development and manufacturing. This particular product was developed to comply with The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations which come into force in 2010. Product is ideal for those who work in the boat industry, especially those who work in patrol boats, lifeboats, police boats etc.

The technology reduces the whole body vibration by 75% by absorbing the energy normally absorbed by your body. This results in fewer long term injuries and reduction in the fatigue and pain suffered from vibration or impact.

The product has been extensively tested both in and out of house, with also testing conducted by the British Navy and Air Force.

Innovative Aspects:
This product gives users 3 forms of shock mitigation, not just one as like other available products on the market. In addition to the standard up and down movement which is done with a progressive spring assisted damper(incorporated in a swingarm system), the company has installed a shuffle suspension system which allows for some sideways movement which reduces the side jerks and twists that are a major cause of injuries. Finally the company has mitigation foam fitted in the base of the seat which works as the final part of shock mitigation system.

This product has many advantages, the main one being that it complies with EC Health and Safety Regulations regarding Whole-Body Vibration (WBV). The benefits of this product includes:- removes the risk of major injury; provides comfort on journey; confidence to stand or sit; shuffle suspension system; mitigation foam; and height adjustment.
