Unwin Safety Systems has unveiled a new and exciting removable seat fixture development especially suited to the community transport market. Unwin have listened to the needs of users and operators and called upon years of development experience to raise the standard of seat fixtures with the launch of HAL, the new Hand Actuated Lockable.
HAL combines all of the attributes the market requires to provide converters, drivers and operators with an easy to use and affordable removable seat fixture. Operated from the rear of the seat, the ergonomically shaped easy grip handle is simply locked into place in one movement with a single hand. The unique anti-rattle mechanism ensures that journeys are noise free for the reassurance and comfort of drivers and passengers.
HAL is simplicity itself to operate. To remove from the rail simply depress the release trigger and pull back, again this can be done with a single movement. Typical of Unwin, the unique design also incorporates an integrated wheel to be used inside the vehicle to help manoeuvre and self locate the seat into the rail.
As an additional feature, there are three adjustable settings to accommodate different rail profiles and thicknesses which users can adjust themselves. Tested to M1 single seat and M2 double seat standards HAL simply offers converters, drivers and users the freedom and ease of use that is required in a professional environment.
There is often a need to move and store seats outside of the vehicle, if this is the case then an additional transport wheel provides a strong and durable accessory to HAL. Again easy to fit, the additional transport wheel will provide tangible Health and Safety benefits to the user.
Andrew Creese commented, "We are delighted to have been able to announce and preview HAL at the Access 2010 CTA Exhibition. We believe HAL is a product that the market has been waiting for and ticks all the boxes in terms of what is required from a seat fixture. Easy of use, affordable, greater freedom for the users as well as being stylish and innovative in its design. HAL is certainly an innovation that everyone in this industry will want to see."
