This type of adjustable mechanic’s seat lets you sit and roll around your workspace or garage. They are available with a steel frame and a vinyl covered sit with a chrome finish.
Their design allows the seat to be adjusted and swivelled, with an on-board tool tray supported by 5 locking castor wheels.
Each castor wheel has a locking system to enable you to stop the seat from moving and position yourself in one place. To lock the wheels, press down the lever to the ‘on’ position which will engage a brake that locks the wheel to stop it moving.
