An Anthropometrically Adjustable Seat for Low Seam Mining Applications

Abstract: Low seam underground coal mines require use of heavy machinery having interior cab heights that may be lower than 33 inches. Current mining machines typically provide operators with nonadjustable seats consisting of heavy metal slabs or, in many cases, provide no seat at all. However, the limited workspace height forces the operator to control his machine from a reclined or supine position that requires special support. The problem may be exacerbated by the presence of a canopy that may further reduce t h e wo… Show more

“…The actual focus of this description will be t o address the critical issues involved in workspace or cab dimensioning for low-coal applications by assessing various predictive relationships between several key variables. A second paper in these Proceedings prepared by Hartley, Cooksey, & Kwitowski (1982) examines the factors associated with operator seating in low-coal mining machines.…”
