24-hour chairs for maximum performance in control centers and shift operations

When concentration knows no break. In a control center, every second counts. A sore back or an uncomfortable seat should not become a distraction. Our 24-hour series was developed to relieve the body of the work so that the head remains free for what is important.

In 24/7 operations, time is in short supply. If the chair has to be laboriously converted when changing shifts, both ergonomics and productivity during the workplace suffer. The solution are 24 hour chairsRegardless of whether the user is changing shifts or in a control room for monitoring, a 24-hour office chair offers the following advantages:

• Quick adjustment: Intuitive levers for seat height, tilt and also backrest

• Individual weight setting: The counter pressure can be adjusted in no time at all, so that both lightweight and heavier people always sit optimally

• Investing in longevity: Due to the exceptionally high quality of the 24-hour chairs, they usually last more than five years, which means that the quality pays for itself after 24 months at the latest

In order to get a better understanding of the properties and value of 24-hour chairs, we present our two best-selling models in more detail below:

A 24-hour chair is not an ordinary office chair - it is a technical work tool designed for maximum performance under extreme conditions. While a standard office chair is designed for a 40-hour week, our models in a control center or control room perform 168 hours of work per week.

A year has 8,760 hours. In a 24/7 operation, a chair is exposed to this time almost continuously.

• Mechanics: Where simple springs in standard chairs tire under constant load, our 24-HOURS models use reinforced high-performance mechanisms. These are designed to accommodate years of constant sitting down, getting up and adjusting without any play or squeaking.
• Padding: Conventional foam quickly loses its resilience when used for long periods of time - the chair “sags”. We only use high-density cold foam, which offers the same point-elastic support as at the beginning even after the twelfth hour of the night shift.
• Certification according to DIN EN 1335: Our models meet the strict requirements of DIN EN 1335 (Parts 2-3). For you this means: Guaranteed safety in terms of dimensions, strength and stability. While standard chairs often only meet this standard for an 8-hour day, our 24-hour models are so solidly constructed that they easily meet the ergonomic requirements of the DIN standard even in tough multi-shift operation.

The purchase price is just the tip of the iceberg. A supposed bargain in the 24-hour range often turns out to be a cost trap:

• Wear cycle: In shift work, a standard chair often has to be replaced after just 12 to 18 months. Our 24-hour series is designed to last three to five times longer than this cycle.
• Maintenance instead of buying new: Quality also means repairability. Whether casters, gas springs or armrests – our chairs are modular. In the long term, this saves you the costs of completely new purchases and conserves resources.

A certified 24-hour chair is much more than a comfortable seat - it is an active tool for health care in multi-shift operations. Static stress in 24/7 operation has been proven to reduce cognitive performance (Hedge, 2016). The combination of dimensionally stable multi-zone padding and high-quality mechanics provides optimal support for the spine in every position, while "dynamic sitting" promotes blood circulation and prevents premature fatigue. Specially developed functions such as the integrated lumbar support and optional neck supports specifically relieve the strain on the back and neck muscles, measurably reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and tension headaches. For the employee, this means a noticeable retention of the ability to concentrate until the end of the shift; For the employer, it is a sustainable investment in the vitality of the team and the reduction of sickness-related absences (Giauque et. al, 2019).

Behind every high-performance control room or production facility is well-thought-out ergonomics. We don't just supply seating furniture, but also sustainable concepts for workplaces that never sleep. As a specialist in high-load seating, we know that individual advice is the key to long-term success.

Why you should rely on our expertise:

• Needs analysis: We understand the specific requirements of your control room and recommend the model that suits your space and user profiles.
• Fast availability: Downtime is not an option in 24/7 operation. Thanks to our logistics network, our best-selling models are available for immediate delivery.
• Aftercare & Service: Even after the purchase, we are at your side - from ergonomic training for your team to quick spare parts service.

Let us work together to ensure that your team remains physically relieved even in the most critical phase of the shift. Trust in certified quality that pays for itself after just a short time.
