Abstract
A safety seat assembly for use with industrial vehicles, such as fork lift trucks, that employs both upper and lower body restraints to prevent the ejection of the operator from the vehicle cab area in the event of a lateral overturn. The lower body restraint is provided by the cooperation of the arm rests and a safety belt which is selectively engageable with the arm rests. The left arm rest pivots outwardly and the belt hinges to an upright position, facilitating access to the seat. The upper body restraint is provided by forwardly extending guard members attached to arms which project laterally from the back support on each side of the seat assembly.
