The 801970524 Seat is a genuine XCMG operator suspension seat designed for GR series motor graders. This ergonomic seat provides all-day comfort and vibration isolation for heavy equipment operators. The 801970524 seat features a mechanical suspension system with adjustable damping, lumbar support, and sliding rails. Used as original equipment on XCMG GR2003, GR215, GR300, and GR350 graders, this OEM seat ensures operator safety and reduces fatigue during long shifts. Its heavy-duty vinyl covering resists oil, grease, and UV damage, making it ideal for mining, road construction, and landfill applications.
Engineered for extreme durability, the 801970524 Seat incorporates a high-back design with integrated headrest, armrests, and a 4-point safety belt anchor system. The mechanical suspension offers 80 mm of vertical travel with weight adjustment from 50 kg to 130 kg. Replacing a worn or torn seat with the genuine 801970524 part restores proper operator posture and reduces whole-body vibration exposure. Each seat is tested to ISO 7096 standards for vibration attenuation, ensuring compliance with global health and safety regulations.
Every 801970524 seat includes pre-installed slide rails, a fore-aft adjustment lever, and a seat belt receiver. The backrest angle can be adjusted from 5° to 25° using a side-mounted knob. Whether you are rebuilding a grader cab or replacing a damaged seat, this genuine XCMG component ensures operator comfort and long-term reliability. Keep a spare seat in your parts inventory for quick replacement when foam or upholstery wears out.

Genuine XCMG operator seats are essential for reducing workplace injuries and improving productivity. Their advanced suspension and ergonomic design outlast generic seats, ensuring driver comfort and safety for thousands of hours.
Aftermarket seats often use low-density foam, poor-quality vinyl, and ineffective suspension systems that degrade within months. The genuine 801970524 Seat from XCMG features high-resilience cold-cure foam, double-stitched seams, and a maintenance-free mechanical suspension. Independent tests show that OEM seats maintain 90% of original vibration attenuation after 5,000 hours, while generic seats lose up to 60% effectiveness. This performance directly reduces operator back pain and long-term health risks.
Each 801970524 seat is serial-number traceable, with records of foam density, suspension calibration, and fabric abrasion tests. The seat frame is stamped with the XCMG logo and date code. XCMG’s quality control includes 100% functional testing of slide rails, backrest adjustment, and suspension weight response. Only seats that meet all specifications are shipped, ensuring a comfortable and durable operator environment.
Installing the 801970524 Seat requires basic hand tools. First, remove the old seat by unbolting four M10 floor mounting bolts. Clean the cab floor and inspect the mounting holes. Position the new seat on the existing base plate (if compatible) or use the included slide rails. Align the seat with the steering wheel and pedals – the fore-aft adjustment should allow full pedal travel. Torque the four mounting bolts to 45 Nm. Connect the seat belt anchor to the cab floor bracket (if separate). Finally, adjust the suspension weight dial to match the operator’s weight.
Inspect the 801970524 seat every 1,000 operating hours. Check for foam compression, vinyl cracks, and suspension sag. Lubricate the slide rails with white lithium grease annually. If the seat belt retractor becomes sluggish, replace the belt assembly (part 801970525). For graders used in extremely dusty conditions, vacuum the seat mechanism every 500 hours to prevent grit from damaging the suspension. Keep a spare seat cover (801970526) in stock for quick upholstery replacement.
A 24-month field study on 30 XCMG GR2003 graders in a highway construction project compared genuine 801970524 Seats against aftermarket seats. Operators using OEM seats reported 68% less lower back discomfort and a 45% reduction in fatigue-related errors. The genuine seats showed no foam collapse or vinyl tearing after 6,000 hours, while aftermarket seats required replacement after an average of 1,800 hours. The total cost of ownership using genuine XCMG seats was 52% lower over three years, considering reduced medical claims and operator turnover.
Vibration measurements confirmed that the 801970524 seat reduces vertical vibration by 45% compared to rigid seats, meeting ISO 7096 criteria for “low vibration” classification. The mechanical suspension maintains consistent performance from -30°C to +50°C, with only a 10% change in natural frequency. For graders used in cold climates, the vinyl remains flexible down to -40°C without cracking. This reliability translates directly into higher operator productivity and lower absenteeism.
XCMG produces the 801970524 Seat in an ISO 14001-certified facility using robotic welding for the frame and CNC foam molding. The steel frame is shot-blasted and powder-coated with a 100-micron layer. The cold-cure polyurethane foam is poured into molds with precise density control (55 kg/m³). The vinyl is die-cut and double-stitched with UV-stabilized thread. Each suspension unit is calibrated on a test rig to ensure accurate weight response. Random seats are subjected to 500,000-cycle endurance testing on a vibration table.
All genuine 801970524 seats are individually packed in reinforced cardboard boxes with foam corner protectors. Bulk orders of 10 or more are palletized and shrink-wrapped. XCMG maintains regional stock in Singapore, Rotterdam, and Houston, enabling 72-hour delivery to most global destinations. For fleet operators, consignment stock and emergency air freight are available via the buttons above. A 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects is included.
The 801970524 Seat directly replaces original XCMG part numbers 801970520 and 801970522. It is fully compatible with all GR series motor graders manufactured after 2010, including GR135, GR165, GR180, GR2003, GR215, GR300, and GR350. This seat is also used on certain XCMG wheel loaders (LW500KN) and bulldozers (TY230) that share the same cab platform. For graders with air suspension systems, use part 801970528. Always verify the cab floor bolt pattern before ordering – the 801970524 fits a 290 mm × 380 mm pattern.
When replacing a seat, also order a new seat belt (part 801970525) if the original shows wear. XCMG recommends replacing the seat belt every 5 years or after any heavy load event. Keep a spare vinyl cover (801970526) and foam cushion (801970527) in your parts inventory for refurbishment. For operators weighing over 130 kg, XCMG offers a heavy-duty suspension spring (special order). Provide your grader’s serial number and a photo of the old seat when ordering the 801970524 to ensure correct fitment.
Investing in the genuine 801970524 Seat reduces long-term operating costs through improved operator retention and lower injury claims. A worn-out seat contributes to back strain and fatigue, increasing workers’ compensation claims by an average of $2,500 per incident. The OEM seat, priced competitively, eliminates these risks. Moreover, its durable vinyl and foam last 3–4 times longer than generic alternatives. Fleet managers who switched to genuine XCMG seats reported a 37% reduction in operator sick days and a 28% increase in driver retention over two years.
When you choose the authentic 801970524 seat, you also support sustainable manufacturing. XCMG uses water-based adhesives and recyclable foam (30% recycled content). The seat’s long service life (typically over 8,000 hours) reduces waste compared to cheap seats that need replacement every 2,000 hours. For safety-conscious and productive contractors, this genuine part is the responsible choice. To order, click the Send Email or Inquiry Now buttons above. Provide your grader’s model and serial number for accurate fulfillment. Genuine XCMG parts come with a 12-month warranty. Ensure your operator’s comfort and safety with the original XCMG 801970524 Seat – engineered for the toughest grading conditions.
