CFT Delivers its 2,000th Deduster

As the demand for creature comforts in off-road applications continues to grow, two established manufacturers are leading the way in delivering heated seats to new markets like compact construction equipment, industrial equipment, small tractors and powersports vehicles.

Seat heater manufacturer Check Corporation and Milsco Manufacturing Company, producers of seating solutions for more than 85 years, are working together to provide durable heated seats that add comfort and warmth to today's industrial and construction equipment.

Check began working with Milsco in 2007 to design a Foam in Place Seat Heater application for Case Construction Equipment's Skid Steer seat.

“We worked hand-in-hand with Check on the shape, materials and foam systems we use to build seats for the construction and agricultural markets, testing seat heater prototypes and verifying the product's performance until we came up with a successful process that created high-quality heated seat cushions for our customer,” said Egon Muelder, Heavy Industry Unit manager for Milsco.

Available for a variety of construction, agricultural and off-road equipment, Check seat heater systems are designed to integrate directly into the seats and feature multiple temperature levels for operator comfort. The seat heater elements have passed SAE-J1454 testing for off-road durability tests and are waterproof.
