SKIPPER SEAT PACKAGE
Alu Design of Norway offers a selection of high quality pilot chair, skipper seat or helmsman chair packages inclusive of pedestal and footrest. As standard, Alu seats are delivered with a huge array of functions and features, all included within a modest price. Genuine leather seats mounted on a shock absorbing, robust pedestal providing a stable seating experience in all conditions. If style and functionality isn’t enough, Alu’s range of chairs have also been tested to 12g, according to HSC (High speed craft) 2000, annex 10. The Alu pedestal, chair and footrest package can be mounted direct to the deck as a stand-alone unit or in combination with Alutech deck rails.
Alu utilises the same deep seat cushioned base across its range. A base which measures an impressive 17cm (c. 6 ¾”) of firm and extremely comfortable cushioned seating that protects skippers even in the very worst conditions. Whilst the seat base is constant, clients can select from three choices of back rest; 300/600, 400/500 and the OP style. Each being a high backrest that also serves to protect the head and neck.
All seats are supplied in genuine black leather with lumbar support for further protection of the lower back. The seat back angle can also be adjusted from the sitting position. Armrests have a height adjustment feature and tip up facility, making it easy to exit the seat from the side in restricted spaces. Furthermore, Alu offers a range of standard bolt-on parts to armrests from basic cup holders, a ‘fisherman’s pocket’ or more elaborate electrical equipment and controls.

ROV / OPERATOR CHAIRS
There are many cockpit style working environments. Controls are integrated into a console for a single operator to access during what is often a very demanding role. It’s often necessary for operators or pilots to reach out of their seat to access a switch, button or other. Efficiency is compromised. Operator chairs, cockpit seats, cyber chairs; there are many names. What they are; seats that bring the console to the operator. Futuristically styled operator seats deliver control of the vessel or vehicle, to the armrests. Ergonomically designed armrest control results in an operator that is no longer required to stretch or reach out. They can remain seated and focused on the task at hand.
