Description

The A5 is a draughtsman chair for benches too tall for a standard lab chair — inspection stations, metrology benches, drawing boards, packing lines and test rigs. Its extended gas lift and adjustable footring cover seat heights from 600 mm to 860 mm, suiting work surfaces up to roughly 1,150 mm. Purchased over 3,463 times to date.

Choose a draughtsman chair when a bench-height lab chair runs out of travel. If your bench is around 900 mm, a bench-height lab chair is the correct specification instead — or use the lab chair height guide to check.

Seat materials

Two options, both included in the price. Xtreme Fabric (100% recycled) is the more comfortable choice for longer seated spells. Vinyl wipes clean and suits shared stations and busier benches. See the full colour and materials range.

Feet or castors

Supplied with feet as standard, which is usually right for a tall chair at a standing bench. Castors are available at a price uplift — specify soft-tyre for hard or vinyl flooring, and lock-off or lock-down castors where the chair must stay put. Consider the safety requirements of your working environment before choosing castors on a high chair.

Accessories

Available to order with a synchro mechanism (seat and back move together for long seated work), a seat slide (adjusts seat depth for taller or shorter users), adjustable arms, ring arms (better where fixed arms would foul the bench), lumbar support or seat tilt. Priced individually — see the accessories page or ask on your quote.

Who uses the A5

Supplied to inspection, metrology and drawing-office benches at the University of Strathclyde, the British Geological Survey, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, the Sheffield Assay Office, Porvair Filtration Group and the University of London.

Ordering

Purchase orders accepted, VAT invoice supplied. Volume pricing from 4 units. Delivery included to mainland Britain. UK support and spares available — we have been supplying laboratory and technical seating since 1986.
