Seating is one of the most impactful areas for enhancing a passenger’s travel experience. Improving the functionality and usability of tray and seat tables, arm and headrests, screens and even coat hooks augments user convenience and comfort. Southco offers solutions across all these application areas.

Tray and seat tables are often rigidly mounted and can become flimsy and unstable over time. Employing Southco’s Constant Torque Hinges incorporates friction technology that allows tray and seat tables to be held securely in position at any angle. Constructed of robust materials, they deliver reliable performance and longevity. For fold-out tables specifically, the controlled motion that Southco’s AH-Bifold Constant Torque Hinges offer prevents fingers from being accidentally trapped. The hinges’ flush design eliminates pinch points along the joint.

Adding display mounts to rail seating similarly improves the travel experience. Today, most rail passengers carry mobile devices with them, so making it easy and convenient for passengers to use these devices while on the move is critical. Providing, for example, the ability to securely place a mobile device in a holder can make a journey more comfortable and enjoyable. Specifically designed for this purpose, Southco has developed and will present at InnoTrans a display mounting solution that allows a mobile device to be simply clicked in and securely held in place. The clipping mechanism has been designed to adapt to different sizes of mobile devices, from hand-held phones to tablets. As with all monitor mounts offered by Southco, this solution delivers dependable support and versatile positioning options to suit end-user needs and optimises the viewing experience.
