I3 Series seat from Seats Inc. receives ISO 7096, EM9 for vibrational performance in European markets

The Seats Incorporated I3 Series is now certified to ISO 7096, EM9, confirming its compliance with vibration requirements critical to performance in European markets. The I3 Series was recently certified to the EM9 classification at an independent engineering test facility in Milwaukee, WI.

The I3 Series is a perfect match for skid steer and commercial turf applications as well as other, light-duty industrial equipment. The I3 Series earns its name from the integrated, 3-inch, low-profile suspension and is available with a mechanical suspension (I3M) or an air suspension (I3A). The air suspension is a new offering for the Seats’ product line, available this fall.

In addition to the upgraded suspension, the I3 Series distinguishes itself from the competition with molded foam, limitless sewn cover options which can be customized to create product differentiation, and elastomeric vibration control (EVC).

Chris Bauer, Seats Incorporated’s Industrial Division Sales Manager, states, “Our I3 Series is anticipated to offer new opportunities we’ve previously been unable to pursue. Being certified to ISO 7096 EM-9, an equipment specific vibration certification, allows Seats Incorporated to pursue skid steer manufacturers worldwide. In addition, we’ve been able to expand our business with many existing customers by offering a product that performs well in many applications at a competitive price.”

The value derived from Seats’ commitment to design innovation and continuous improvement in quality and customer services is clear in this developing product line. The I3 Series is likely to become an enduring Seats classic.
