FallTech Roughneck Basic Bosun Seat

Simple, Sturdy, and Built for Long Hours in the Air

If you’re looking for a tough, no-nonsense suspension seat that gets the job done, the Roughneck® Basic Bosun Seat from FallTech delivers. Whether you're hanging for inspection work, performing overhead rigging, or spending extended time on rope, this seat is built to support you—literally and figuratively.

It features a full-size birch plywood seat—measuring 23" x 11" and nearly an inch thick—that offers real support and stability when you're in position. It’s a simple design, but it’s all you need. Integrated alloy steel D-rings on either side make it easy to connect to your suspension system, and they’re rated for a minimum of 5,000 lbs static strength—so you can trust them to hold under pressure.

The seat webbing is made from durable polyester, also rated to 5,000 lbs minimum strength. And with a one-size-fits-most design, it’s ready to go when you are. Just clip in, sit back, and get to work. Of course, this seat is made to be used alongside a proper fall arrest system. It’s perfect for positioning—but your safety harness is what protects you in a fall.
