What to consider when choosing industrial chairs
Industrial chairs are commonly used in factories, workshops and other environments that are a bit harsher than a typical office. They need to suit the environment, as well as the users’ needs.
Factors to consider when choosing an industrial chair for your workspace include:
- Ergonomics: will the chair be used for long hours?
- Strength: will the chair be used by multiple people over multiple shifts?
- Work surface: does the chair need to be height adjustable and need a footrest?
- Base and castors: what is the floor surface? Does the chair need strong wheels and a sturdy base?
- Cleanability: is the work area dirty or dusty, and does the chair need to be wipeable?
- Moveability: does the chair need smooth castors to be easily wheeled to multiple workstations?
Features of workshop and industrial chairs
The average office chair is long-lasting, but it also offers comfort and design. Upholstery and padding, for example, aren’t always suitable for an industrial chair. If an officer chair is upholstered, it might need to be manufactured with wipeable PVC.
Industrial chairs must prioritise durability because they’re used for long hours in harsher environments. They must be easy to clean and sanitise. This is especially important in laboratories.
Many industrial chairs need a footring because labs and workshops have higher work surfaces. It’s common for industrial chairs to be compact and easy to wheel from one work unit to another without the risk of knocking into sensitive equipment.

Industrial chair
Our industrial chair has a moulded polyurethane seat and back rest, so it’s easy to clean and sanitise. It’s ideal for labs, clean rooms and medical rooms.
It features smooth-gliding castors, so the user can move from one workstation to another easily and quietly.
The chair has an adjustable backrest and seat angle.
Draughtsman chairs
Our draughtsman chair features a height-adjustable backrest, contoured seating with a modifiable tilt and a fixed-ring footrest for stability and support.
The padded seat has a waterfall edge, so there’s no undue pressure on the backs of the legs. Users can sit for hours without discomfort.
A five-point base with castors ensures smooth wheeling and a sturdy base.
Dental chairs
Our dental chair offers a good balance between comfort and compactness. It’s padded for comfort but easy to wipe down if you choose a PVC cover.
This chair is excellent for compact spaces, such as dental studios and labs. The tilted backrest is height-adjustable and slightly curved to encourage good posture.
The curved edge of the padded seat minimises pressure on the legs and thighs.
