Air compressor gives driver seat a lift

20.09.2001

An air compressor that raises the air-suspension seats in off-highway vehicles uses injection-molded plastic parts instead of those made with die-cast aluminum. The compressor, from Thomas Industries, Sheboygan, Wis., is part of an inflated rubber bladder under the seat within the sear suspension from sears Manufacturing, Davenport, Iowa. The compressor positions the operator to a desired height, and provides suspension for better performance.
