Product Summary

The INSIGHT® product offering is the best-selling seat in the industry. INSIGHT-PRIME+® combines lightweight design with superior strength and durability. INSIGHT-PRIME+’s basic structure was thoughtfully designed with an innovative, one-piece seat module. Its unique insert design creates an inviting interior without the unnecessary weight, maintenance, or expense of upholstered seat coverings. It is smart, strong, and an ergonomically superior seating and solution for all heavy-duty transportation needs. The VISION® seating solution provided similar ergonomics and aesthetics in an all-stainless-steel product offering with upholstered or non-upholstered options.
