Seat Suspensions Where to Buy

LORD Corporation has produced more than 250,000 MR Seat Suspension systems since 1998 for various Agricultural, Construction and Commercial Vehicles. Our system includes a MR Damper, a control unit with an integrated position sensor, and an optional ride mode switch for the driver to select between different suspension settings. Our semi-active seat suspension system has proven to dramatically improve driver comfort, fatigue and safety over current passive systems, at a fraction of the cost of fully-active systems.
