Description
The RIB03S is a suspension kit with jockey seat designed to improve comfort and safety on board boats, particularly RIBs and open hulls.
This kit includes a technologically advanced suspension system and an ergonomic jockey seat, offering significant wave shock reduction and comfortable seating.
🔍 Features
- Advanced suspension technology: The suspension system reduces the vertical acceleration generated by motor navigation, minimizing G-forces and impacts on the spine of passengers and crew.
- High-quality materials: The structure is made of 6 mm and 8 mm thick 6061T6 aluminum, with a marine powder coating for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Components in AISI/SUS 316/316L stainless steel and plastic parts in POM or 30% glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 6.6 guarantee durability and robustness. - Optimum comfort: The seat is padded with marine memory foam and covered with high-quality marine vinyl, providing comfortable, long-lasting seating.
The textured coating ensures excellent grip on the seat. A GR3 front grab bar can be fitted as an option for additional safety. - Preload adjustment: The suspension can be adjusted for weights between 50 and 130 kg, enabling adaptation to individual passenger needs.
Adjustment is easy, using the key supplied and attached to the suspension. - Compliance with standards: The kit complies with the guidelines and recommendations of ABYC H-31 for type AO, ensuring safe, certified use.
