Calculate Your Proper Seat Height
A basic formula to determine the correct seat height is the
real work level (measuring floor to the height of the task)
minus 12". The resulting measurement is the suggested
seat height. We recommend that this be the midpoint of
the seat-height adjustment range of the chair you select.
For
Example:
38" (work level from floor to task height)
-12"
------
26" (midpoint of seat-height adjustment range)
Most of our chairs have a seat-height adjustment range of
three to five inches, though we also have some with seven
or even 10 inches of latitude. Having an adjustable variation
upward and downward helps assure that the chair fits the
size and body type of the worker. The chair also will be
flexible enough to fit workers on different shifts or the
same worker doing different tasks at a slightly changed work
level.
This broad formula works for the majority of workers. Our
ergonomic seating will properly fit 90 percent of workers
without changes. For the other 10 percent, alterations can
be made easily because of our modular construction. The seat
height range can be changed on the job site by simply adding
or removing adapter tubes between the pneumatic cylinder
and the base. Even if a chair base must be changed, it can
easily be done on-site as well. Other options such as an
adjustable footring, tilting seat and/or backrest assemblies,
or a shallow ergonomic seat can be added to make a chair
fit properly.
