Description

Heavy duty task operator office chair with a 205kg weight capacity and an executive cushioned profile in black PU leather. A high back with fixed headrest, gas height adjustment, lock tilt and a weight tensioner keep serious sitters supported through an 8 hour day, on a build that stays solid in constant use.

Executive presence, heavyweight build

The Austin looks like the chair the meeting defers to, and it is built to match. The generous 56cm wide seat and high cushioned backrest are upholstered in black PU leather and PVC over UKFR foam, a wipe-clean surface that keeps its shape and its looks through daily use. Underneath, PU leather, PVC and steel construction brings the whole chair to 30kg, which is exactly the sort of heft that stays planted when others start to wander.

A 205kg capacity that means it

Plenty of chairs call themselves heavy duty; the Austin backs it up with a 205kg maximum weight capacity, far beyond the standard office chair rating. That margin is what keeps the mechanism smooth and the frame quiet years into service, whoever sits in it. For larger users, or simply for businesses that want a heavy duty black PU task operator chair bought once rather than replaced often, it is the difference that matters.

Set up for the person in charge of it

Gas height adjustment moves the seat between 51cm and 61.5cm, a taller range that suits bigger builds and higher desks. The lock tilt mechanism reclines freely when unlocked and secures the backrest upright for firm support, while the weight tensioner matches the recline resistance to the person in the seat. The fixed headrest and 73cm high fixed arms complete a chair you settle into rather than perch on.

Right for your business

The Austin suits anyone who needs seating that shrugs off constant use: directors' offices, busy control desks, home workers who put in proper hours, and any business buying for larger users. One clear price, full specifications on the page, and no sales calls required.

Seat and adjustment

  • Gas seat height adjustment, 51cm to 61.5cm. A taller range than most task chairs, right for bigger builds and higher desks.

  • 56cm wide, 55cm deep cushioned seat. A genuinely generous sitting area with room to move through a long day.

  • Lock tilt mechanism. Recline freely when unlocked, or secure the backrest upright for firm working support.

  • Weight tensioner. Adjustable recline resistance, so the tilt matches the person in the seat.

Backrest and headrest

  • High back, 54cm wide and 73cm tall. Full shoulder and upper back support with an executive cushioned profile.

  • Fixed headrest included. Neck support built in, with nothing to adjust or work loose.

  • Black PU leather and PVC over UKFR foam. A smart wipe-clean finish that holds its shape through constant use.

Arms and frame

  • Fixed loop arms, 73cm high and 51cm apart. A solid resting position that also stiffens the whole frame.

  • PU leather, PVC and steel construction, 30kg. Substantial materials that keep the chair planted and quiet in daily service.

Size, capacity and usage

  • 70cm wide, 72cm deep, 121cm to 131.5cm tall. A full-size executive footprint with headrest height to match.

  • 205kg maximum weight capacity. A proper heavy duty rating, far above the standard office chair.

  • Rated for 8 hour use. Built for the full working day of continuous sitting.

Guarantee

  • 3 year guarantee on mechanical components, 1 year on fabric and foam. Solid cover on the parts that take the daily strain.

Lock Tilt Mechanism

The lock tilt mechanism lets you recline freely when unlocked and secures the backrest in the upright position for firm support. It offers flexibility for relaxation while ensuring stability when required.

Gas Height Adjustment

Easily customise your seating position with the gas height adjustment, ensuring ergonomic comfort for every user.

Weight Tensioner

Personalise your reclining experience with the weight tensioner, offering adjustable resistance to match your preferred level of support.

    Built for someone my size

    I am eighteen stone and most task chairs start creaking within a month. This one has not made a sound in six months. The PU wipes clean which matters in our workshop office.
