Shock mitigation seating

Is this the ultimate budget shock mitigation seat ?

I would buy one and copy it in stainless steel. It's nice and cheap. But won't hold a month in a salty environment. But still cheap and looks fine. Just using the seat and backrest cover is super for that price

Have one on the tractor at home. I think that the lack of damping would cause a problem.

Your website has a great feel to it with a lovely looking product, but if there's one thing that rattles me it's having to provide an email address just to get pricing. I absolutely refuse to do it.

I'm sure you find the email list very valuable. Imagine a brisks & mortar shop that would only tell you the price of something if you supply name & address..

Yep, I got to the same place and then stopped looking when I had to enter an email address. Also putting a load of posts up the same day in lots of thread that are year old isn't very helpful.

Thanks Simon, certainly appreciate the feedback. What would be ideal for you in terms of receiving some pricing?

Perhaps I could send it via PM here on the forum?

The reason we ask for an email is so that we can talk about your specific requirements and use the latest pricing (which we are always trying to reduce).

We probably wont post complete pricing publicly for this reason, but please let me know what you are interested in and I will send through the relevant, up to date pricing for you.

Cheers,
Dan.

Feel free to do the same as Simon, Andy. More than happy to send you what you require using PM.

I'm sorry you found the quantity of our posts unhelpful, the reason we did this is so that people who have shown an interest in suspension seats in the past are informed about what we think is a good development in the sector.

We appreciate the feedback though,
Dan.

Thanks for your PM, detailed below. Your product looks great but let's kill off this hidden pricing stuff:-

The price for 2 seats would be 5934 NZD which is approximately 3329 Pounds currently.

The shipping price to get them to you would be 145 Pounds per seat.

We have a UK agent, Stephen Govenlock, and the seats are distributed by Cleeman in Germany. We typically send the seats directly from New Zealand to UK customers.

Hope that helps, any questions let me know.

Cheers,
Dan.

No worries Simon,

Just so that you are aware, that pricing may change as we do our best to improve it for you guys. Currency fluctuations and shipping prices may also influence it.

We also discount based on the quantity of seats ordered so if you can get a group of guys together for a bulk order it may be a good way to save some dosh.

Cheers,
Dan.

Ullmans are around the £2500 mark depending on extras & exchange rate
