BioFit Gets a Hand Up On Simplicity with New Armrest Adjustment Toggle

Bowling Green, OH, December 1, 2006 – BioFit Engineered Products, a worldwide provider of ergonomic seating solutions, recently introduced a new armrest adjustment toggle that is now standard equipment on all its height and width adjustable armrest-equipped chairs. The move continues the company’s long-standing commitment to delivering better performance, comfort and convenience to users.

“At BioFit, it’s always about doing the little things, but doing them better than you have before. While it’s a small detail, we’re confident that our customers will find the operation of the new armrest toggle instinctively easier to adjust, not to mention faster. Plus, it doesn’t add extra expense to the cost of the chair,” said Ed Metzger, Executive Vice President of BioFit.

At the touch of a lever, the toggle mechanism loosens, allowing the armrests to adjust in width. Then, the reverse motion on the toggle locks the armrests into place; all in all, a much easier process than the previous one which required users to loosen knobs underneath the chair to perform the same function.

BioFit 1Y Chair Keeps Truck Customizer Rolling

Bowling Green, OH, November 3, 2006 - Indiana Custom Trucks (ICT) of LaGrange, Indiana, specializes in converting OTR sleeper cabs into one-of-a-kind mobile multipurpose rooms for truckers. Limited space means furnishings are few and closely scrutinized for size, comfort, functionality and durability. Until recently, ICT frequently faced a dilemma of finding a chair that met its criteria and was stylish enough to fit into the high-end designs for which the company is known, but most importantly, one with the ability to remain securely in place while the truck was in motion. Then it discovered the 1Y series chair from BioFit Engineered Products.

The flexible BioFit 1Y features a swiveling base with a pivoting arm that can be securely mounted to any stable vertical surface, allowing it to swing out of the way while not in use and stay put while it is. The 1Y was designed to serve in a variety of environments where space constraints are a challenge, ranging from assembly lines, factories and other industrial settings to medical laboratories and educational facilities. It is available in many chair and stool configurations, comes in a wide range of upholstery options, and is backed by an industry-leading 13-year warranty.

According to Tim Troxell of ICT, the company was preparing to fabricate a specialized chair on its own to meet its requirements. “We were looking for a comfortable chair that drivers could use at the computer desk or while watching TV. One problem drivers have always had with chairs, however, was keeping them from rolling or sliding around the sleeper while the rig was driven,” he explained. “We didn’t think anything was available to meet our needs and were ready to build a chair of our own when I came across the BioFit website and the 1Y while surfing the Internet.” Troxell related that ensuring that items in the sleeper are properly secured is critical to those who need to focus on the road instead of worrying about what’s rattling around behind them. “I wish I would have known about the 1Y two or three years ago!” he lamented, as he spoke of how the versatile seat could have been used in other conversion applications.
