Without trucks, it would be so difficult for you to carry out your construction projects. They come in handy when you need to carry materials to and from the site. They are also handy for powering cranes or excavation and drilling equipment. For this reason, trucks are often used for long hours with the operator applying constant pressure on the seat. You need adjustable truck seats that allow the operator to fine tune his or her sitting position, maximizing comfort and reducing fatigue. The only problem is that frequent shifting of positions increases wear and tear. This can make an adjustable seat loose. It then begins to slide out of your desired position even in instances when you wouldn't want it to shift. Thankfully, this problem is easy to solve using the following guide:

Lubricate the Joints

The first step is to ensure that you are not forcing any sort of movement from along the joints. Therefore, get a suitable lubricant from an auto spares shop near you and lubricate all the joints on the sliding seat. Oiling the joints guarantees that the seat will smoothly follow your preferred settings.

Tighten the Joints

Loose joints can lead to the disorientation of a truck seat and cause it to slide out of position now and then. Loose nuts and fasteners mean that the joint cannot stand up to the weights of the seat itself, or that of the seat and the operator combined. Use a wrench to tighten the fasteners and test the seat to determine if the problem will persist.

Replacing Worn Out Parts

If the problem persists after tightening the joints, then you will have to do some replacements to fix the problem. Remove the sliding truck seat while carefully detaching any electrical cables fitted beneath the seat. With the truck turned off, you should be able to remove the electrical cables by hand. After that, remove the slider bracket using a socket and ratchet. Fit in a new slider and bolt it firmly in place. Put back the electrical cables as they were before reinstalling the seat.

Test the Seat

After replacing the worn out slider bracket, test the seat to ensure that the problem has been resolved. Squeaking and slight movements indicate that you have to tighten the joints further using your wrench. With a new set of slider brackets, the seat should firmly stay in place until you decide to change its position.
