Control stations
Ensuring ergonomic comfort in control stations
The countless hours spent by workers in control stations underscore the importance of providing comfort and ergonomic features. With Spohn & Burkhardt, we prioritize this by equipping our control stations with standard, comfortable seats and a range of individual adjustment options. A noteworthy feature is the memory function that allows all settings to be conveniently stored, facilitating smoother operations during shifts.
We are dedicated to addressing your specific requirements, considering your healthy and efficient work as paramount. The Spohn & Burkhardt R&D engineers channel their expertise to transform your needs into innovative solutions.
Recognizing the unique characteristics of each control station installation, whether it be dealing with dizzying heights, confined spaces, or intricate control tasks, is integral to our approach. A crane system demands an unimpeded panoramic view, while a compact cabin may require foldable seating. Control stations in container harbors must tilt differently than in mobile cranes. Employees in power plants are exposed to different temperatures than on oil rigs, where integrated seat heaters contribute to well-being. What may only appear to be minor details ultimately makes a big difference for the workers.
