SEAT REPOSITIONING DEVICE WITH RELEASE ON CONTROL HANDLE

摘要

Seat repositioning systems for vehicles comprise a seat release element (104) that is operable to cause an operator's seat (32) to be temporarily released from a locked position such that the operator's seat may be adjusted to a new position. By optionally positioning the seat release element proximate to an operator's working position, a vehicle operator may reposition the seat while simultaneously performing another task. Moreover, a control module (152) may be provided that is capable of deciding whether or not to allow the operator's seat to be released based upon vehicle parameters such as vehicle speed or load handling conditions. Still further, the control module may temporarily disable select features of the vehicle depending upon the position of the seat.
