Frequently Asked Questions

What weight rating do I need for a heavy duty office chair?

Standard commercial office chairs are typically rated to 110kg to 120kg. Heavy duty chairs begin at around 130kg and extend to 250kg for bariatric models. Select a chair rated at least 20% above the user's body weight to ensure the mechanism and frame are not operating at their limit under sustained daily use.

What is a bariatric office chair?

A bariatric office chair is a heavy duty chair specifically engineered for higher weight capacities, typically 150kg and above. They feature reinforced frames, wider seat pans, heavy-duty gas-lift cylinders, and strengthened bases. The term is used interchangeably with heavy duty in commercial furniture contexts, though bariatric models are generally at the higher end of the capacity range.

Are heavy duty office chairs AFRDI certified?

Selected models in the OFC heavy duty range carry AFRDI certification. AFRDI Level 6 is the Australian standard for heavy commercial use and is a common requirement for government and institutional procurement. Check individual product pages for confirmed certification status — not all high-capacity chairs carry formal AFRDI certification.
