Manual handling has been replaced more and more often by the utilization of mechanized lifting and transport equipment. Forklift trucks are very commonly used for internal material handling. As Larsson and Rechnitzer (1994) put it: “Forklift trucks are the most conspicuous and successful work horse for internal material handling”.. Occupational driving has often been associated with a high prevalence of back pain. The factors that contribute to cause the pain are diverse and include prolonged sitting in improperly designed seats, poor postures, exposure to vibration. Seats are one of the most important components of vehicles and they are the place where professional driver spend most of their time. Discomfort analysis on forklift operators (Depending on previous research) shows that there are various discomforts in the body parts of operators like lower back, shoulder, neck, hip, foot etc. The present study evaluated the potential mismatch between the seat dimensions of existing forklift seats and anthropometric characteristics of all the forklift operators. The purpose is to propose a new seat dimension according to anthropometric data obtained.
