Frequently asked questions
Is the KAB Navigator suitable for 24/7 or heavy-duty use?
Yes. The KAB Navigator features a robust steel internal frame and a heavy duty gas lift rated for up to 30 stone (190kg). This makes it an ideal orthopaedic seating solution for multi-shift environments, industrial applications, intensive VDU setups, and larger users requiring exceptional structural support.
How does the air lumbar support work on the KAB Navigator?
The Navigator is equipped with a manual air lumbar pump integrated into the backrest. By inflating or deflating the internal air bag, users can precisely customise the level of lower back support, making it an excellent choice for individuals managing lower back pain or sciatica during long desk sessions.
What are the benefits of tip-up comfort armrests?
The tip up armrests provide plush arm support during typing and browsing but can be easily flipped backward and out of the way. This feature is particularly useful for users who need to move closer to their desk or keyboard tray, or for clearing the armrests beneath low desk lips when storing the chair.
Can the backrest height be adjusted on this chair?
Yes. While the KAB Navigator is a mid height backrest chair, it includes a built in backrest extension. This allows you to slide the upper section of the backrest upward to perfectly align the orthopaedic contours with your shoulders and neck.
