Heavy-Duty Chairs and Stools for Sale in South Africa

Heavy-duty seating can be required in a range of scenarios, including in offices, labs, factories, dental practices, clinics and more.

At K-Mark, we offer heavy-duty chairs and stools for sale in South Africa. These chairs meet specific needs for support, durability and range of motion, and are designed to be especially durable.

What are heavy-duty office chairs and stools?

Heavy-duty chairs are simply office chairs designed to handle heavy, continuous use.

Depending on intended use, they may need to be stain-resistant and easy to clean and sanitise. For example, this applies to heavy-duty stools for use in dental or laboratory settings.

They also typically allow unrestricted movement. This makes them suitable for use in workshops, studios, labs and patient care settings.

Choosing heavy-duty stools

What you need from a heavy-duty stool will vary depending on how it will be used and in what environment. Here’s what to consider when looking for a heavy-duty stool.

• Usage – how many hours per day will it be used
• Height – the height of the work surface and if the chair needs to be adjustable
• Manoeuvrability – if the chair needs to move around a lot and on what type of surface
• Ease of cleaning – how easy it is to clean and sanitise
• Ergonomics – how comfortable the chair is for the expected usage

Choosing a heavy-duty office chair

Heavy-duty chairs have a few more variables to consider than a stool but there are similar key considerations when choosing a heavy-duty chair for any application.

• Base type – does the chair need to tilt, lift and roll
• Castors – the type of castors and on what surface the chair will be rolling
• Seat type – the hours of usage will dictate whether the seat needs to be padded
• Back support – the usage will also let you know what type of back support is needed
• Armrests – consider whether armrests are necessary and what type would work best
• Footrest – depending on the height of the workstation, is a footrest needed?

Draughtsman Chairs

Our Draughtsman Chairs are a comfortable and durable option for workstations, art studios and workshops. The chair includes a durable fixed footrest and adjustable backrest.

Draughtsman Chairs work well when the work surface is high or angled. They give the user extra height while still being adjustable and the footrest ensures the feet don’t dangle.
