Description

Shark Seating specialises in advanced shock mitigation seating solutions designed for the world’s most demanding marine environments. Engineered for offshore, military, commercial, rescue, and high-performance vessels, the suspension systems deliver superior protection against repeated high-impact forces while improving operator endurance, vessel control, and onboard safety.

At the core of the technology is the innovative FLEX suspension system – a lightweight, corrosion-resistant platform capable of absorbing impacts up to 10G. Delivering 225 mm (9 inches) of ultra-smooth vertical travel, FLEX significantly reduces the physical strain caused by pounding waves and harsh offshore conditions. Constructed using proprietary FLEXANITE composite material and paired with a precision stainless steel shock absorber, the system eliminates pinch points and sharp edges while maximizing durability and long-term reliability.

Shark Seating suspension systems are specifically engineered to neutralise vertical, lateral, and fore-aft forces, helping reduce fatigue and lower the risk of injury during extended operations at sea. The rugged, radar-silent design makes FLEX an ideal solution for military and tactical applications, while its low-maintenance construction ensures dependable performance for commercial and recreational operators alike.

Available as complete seating systems or retrofit upgrades, Shark Seating products are trusted worldwide by professional mariners who demand uncompromising performance, safety, and reliability in extreme!
