Vehicle Cushion Upholstery — Cheaper Than Replacement, Faster Than Ordering
Commercial vehicle seats take a beating. Lorry drivers sit for 8-12 hours daily. Crane operators endure constant vibration. Forklift seats get soaked in rain during open-yard operations. In Singapore's heat, vinyl cracks and foam compresses — a seat that started firm becomes a flat, uncomfortable slab within 2-3 years of heavy use.
Replacing an OEM vehicle seat is expensive and slow. A genuine replacement seat for a lorry or crane costs $500 to $2,000 and may take 4-8 weeks to source from overseas. Reupholstering the existing seat costs $150 to $400, takes 3-7 days, and delivers a seat that often exceeds the original comfort level — because we use higher-density foam than most OEM specifications.
We reupholster seats for every type of commercial and industrial vehicle operating in Singapore — from 3-ton lorries to 50-ton cranes, reach stackers at PSA terminals, and minibus fleets. If the seat frame and adjustment mechanism are intact, the seat can be rebuilt. We also handle commercial upholstery for offices, hotels, and restaurants using the same durable materials.
Vehicles We Service
Lorries and Trucks
Driver and passenger seats for 3-ton, 5-ton, 10-ton, and prime mover cabs. Single seats and bench seats. We repad the foam, replace cracked vinyl, and repair armrest padding. From $150 per seat.
Cranes and Heavy Equipment
Operator seats for mobile cranes, tower cranes, excavators, and reach stackers. These seats endure extreme vibration and need high-density foam with proper support contours. From $200 per seat.
Forklifts
Forklift seats exposed to rain, sun, and warehouse dust. We recover with heavy-duty vinyl rated for industrial environments and replace compressed foam. Bulk rates for forklift fleets. From $150 per seat.
Buses and Minibuses
Passenger and driver seats for shuttle buses, school buses, and private hire minibuses. We use fire-retardant commercial vinyl or fabric, similar to our leather repair work on high-wear surfaces. Bulk orders of 20+ seats qualify for fleet pricing. From $120 per seat.
What We Do to Each Seat
Assessment
WhatsApp us photos of the seat at 9669 3006. We assess foam condition, vinyl/fabric wear, frame integrity, and adjustment mechanism function. If the seat can be rebuilt, we quote. If the frame is beyond repair, we advise on replacement.
Seat Removal and Collection
You unbolt the seat and we collect, or we collect the entire seat assembly. For fleet orders, we arrange phased collection so your vehicles stay operational. We collect from yards, workshops, and depots across Singapore.
Strip and Rebuild
We strip the old cover and foam. The seat base is cleaned and inspected. New high-density foam is shaped to the seat contour — base and backrest. The new cover is cut from heavy-duty vinyl or commercial fabric, sewn, and fitted with proper tension.
Return
Completed seats are returned to your location. Turnaround is 3-7 working days for standard orders. Rush service available for time-critical vehicles.
