S3 MAX Multi-Axis Seat

Model S3 MAX (e.g. SW-S3M-T1302, SW-S3M-T1202, SWP-1344A)

Patent-pending high-pivot multi-axis seat adding 3" (80mm) lateral shock absorption to 8" (200mm) vertical travel to reduce crew head movement.

Description

The S3 MAX is a multi-axis shock mitigation seat for high-speed vessel crews, developed with design input driven by the US military to keep the occupant's head as stable as possible under repetitive wave impact. It builds on the S3 suspension with 8 in (200 mm) of vertical travel through a FOX Float H2O air sprung shock and adds a lateral shock absorption system.

Key features

  • 3 in (80 mm) side-to-side travel with hydraulic damping
  • Virtual high-pivot design that pivots the seat to absorb lateral acceleration
  • Aims to minimize chronic brain trauma in Navy and Special Forces boat crews
  • Available on most S3 seat models with G-Force bolster or Corbin high-back and mid-back cushions
  • Design patent pending

Applications

Crew seating on high-speed naval, special forces and interceptor craft.
