About Seller: J.R. Merritt specializes in providing custom human interface solutions, including precision engineered joystick controllers and operator armchair systems, for a wide range of applications. Established in the mid-1980s, J.R. Merritt initially focused on offering the metals industry a more user-friendly alternative to the high spring force joysticks in use at the time. The introduction of rugged, low spring force joysticks proved to be highly successful due to their ease of use and durability. Over time, J.R. Merritt expanded its product offerings to include seating and seating system solutions, allowing for a comprehensive turnkey solution. The company has since grown to offer a full range of cost-effective joysticks for controlling machinery in the mobile equipment industry, all based on the original design principles. The extensive line of multi-axis joysticks includes heavy mill duty, mill duty, heavy industrial, and finger-operated models, catering to a variety of applications such as cranes, forestry equipment, mining, and aerial work platforms. Additionally, single axis controllers are available for various heavy-duty applications, including propulsion and brake control in locomotives and rapid transit systems. J.R. Merritt also provides a diverse selection of armchair systems designed to meet the needs of different industries, from cab-operated cranes to control rooms. These rotating operator armchairs come with integrated consoles, manual adjustments, and options for tight cabin spaces. The product line is complemented by rotary switches, foot pedals, enclosures, and output devices, all designed for long-lasting and reliable operation while meeting ISO 9001:2015 standards.
