A new lumbar support seating system developed for underground mine workers working loaders and haul trucks has resulted in lowered injuries and fatigue.

Perth-based Modern Motor Trimmers (MMT), which concentrates in suspension seats and seating products for the mining market, has spent over five years modifying the pneumatically-operated twin air lumbar support.

The 2 stage lumbar system is integrated into the backrest of an ISRI premium-quality T-backed seat. It makes use of the air supply from the seat's built-in air compressor or the machine's air supply to completely inflate, to support the operator's lumbar region and creating a buffer against shock and jarring.

MMT is installing the lumbar system towards premium quality ISRI 150kg-rated seating range, currently the only product available on the market to have an adjustable back rest which is often angled for increased operator comfort and assistance.

Managing Director Garry Spouge, who founded MMT in 1992, said the company had refined and started to offer the innovative seating product in ISRI seats in the last 1 year, as demand for safer and more relaxing seating technology in the underground mining sector had grown.

"Security is the number one priority for all mining companies around The Australian outback, and that obviously consists of employee protection and wellbeing, which was the starting issue for us in terms of developing this lumbar support system," Mr Spouge said.

"Sore and unstable backs are one of the crucial common factors for lost time injuries in the company, and our lower back support focuses on the lumbar region, preventing back injuries and ultimately on-the-job stress."

Mr Spouge said that MMT had already researched and designed a similar

T backrest for underground mining equipment, but the prototype didn't have an adjustable lumbar support.

"We created the initial prototype in the mid 1990's, but the patented system we're now using is suited to an ISRI seat which has built-in flexible suspension dampening to gradual the seat suspension down, while a seat isolator lessens the forward and back jarring," he said.

"This seat was also chosen as it's the only one in production to our knowledge that reclines. Some other manufactures have tested to initiate the 'T' back rests, but their seats are non-reclining which causes an issue when operators have to adjust it for comfort

"We're really pleased with our advanced design, and currently the feedback we've gained has been really good, and particularly, that it's reducing injuries and fatigue."

Mr Spouge claims that as well as increasing operator convenience and safety, the lumbar support as well helps to enhance seat life by reducing wear and tear and encouraging correct posture.

"This is why, the benefits are huge, both for the operator along with the employer," he added.

MMT's core market niche is the offer, installation and maintenance of premium suspension seats and seating items to the WA mining, building, manufacturing, engineering and transport sectors.

The company is Western Australia's only accredited company and repairer for German producer ISRI, which is widely recognized as the manufacturer of the world's most advanced driver and passenger seating products.
