Kuipers opts for even more seating comfort from EBLO
The company Kuipers Funderingstechnieken, takes care of its drivers. When an operator of one of their piling machines reported back pain, action was taken immediately. Machine supplier Woltman, who installs ISRI seats from us as standard, was approached and said, "Go to EBLO!" And so it happened.
The journey from the Frisian town of Lemmer to EBLO's showroom in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, was a long one, but more than worth it as we will see later. Evert Mallie welcomed the machinist and mapped out his wishes and preferences in terms of seating. Our ISRI seat, which is standard in Kuipers' piling machines, is comfortable. But because every person is different, there is always room for improvement.
Pile-driving machine operators often spend hours in a row working in the same concentrated position. A multi-adjustable seat is no luxury then. Whereas the standard seat already has quite a lot of adjustment options, including vertical spring travel, weight adjustment and height-katel adjustment, the new seat gets just a bit more.

Firstly, this driver needed better lower back support and a wider, more comfortable seat. Seat heating also proved to be a big wish, to be comfortably warm in the cab during the winter months.
Ultimately, the choice fell on a seat combination ISRI suspension and a Recaro Expert seat, to the great satisfaction of the operator and colleagues! EBLO has already supplied several of these seat combinations. The joystick holder can be folded up on the left-hand side, making it easy to get on and off.
A word:
"The customer's wish was one that we hear more often: a seat that offers more seating comfort than the old one. We were able to respond to this wish to the maximum extent by delivering a seat combination that is very extensively adjustable and is also equipped with all the comforts of seating: a large wide seat with comfortable cushions, a pneumatically adjustable lumbar support and seat heating make sitting on this seat pleasant and also long-lasting without developing body pains. The weight adjustment and folding console on the left, also contribute to this."
