ABSTRACT:
A flexible and adjustable harness used by drivers of cranes and earth moving equipment is disclosed. In its preferred embodiment, the flexible and adjustable harness is used when it is necessary for a driver of a crane or an earth moving equipment to lean over to view objects such as loads and obstacles directly below his or her seat. The flexible and adjustable harness includes a flexible slip-on portion that easily slips onto the driver seat. The harness also includes a flexible right wrap and a flexible left wrap which enclose the driver's abdominal and chest areas and bear the weight of the driver when he or she leans over to view loads or obstacles under his or her seat. The flexible and adjustable harness also comprises left and right wrap elastic safety bands that add to the protection and safety provided by the left and right wraps. The flexible and adjustable harness further includes back side left and right safety bands to safely secure the harness' slip-on portion to the driver seat. Two optional shoulder straps may be used for added protection and safety of the driver. Also optional lumbar and structural support pillows may be utilized for added safety and comfort of the driver.
