KneeSEAT – Ergonomic Knee & Ankle Support for Tough Jobs
If your work involves frequent kneeling—whether in hardscaping, gardening, tiling, or home repair—the KneeSEAT offers a game-changing solution. This innovative knee-and-ankle support lets you sit or kneel comfortably while protecting joints and improving posture. Lightweight, ergonomic, and easy to move, it helps reduce strain on your knees, back, and neck—making long tasks feel easier.
What Is the KneeSEAT?
The KneeSEAT, also known as the Probst Knee Seat KS, is a portable support designed to relieve stress on your knees and ankles during work. It consists of a padded support at the knee and ankle, connected by an aluminum frame. You can wear one or two, alternating on either side, allowing effortless kneeling or sitting. Straps secure it snugly while allowing full movement—so you can walk between tasks without removing it.
Benefits of Using the KneeSEAT
Superior Ergonomic Support
By lifting your knee slightly and aligning your ankle, the KneeSEAT reduces pressure on joints and distributes weight across your leg and core. This helps maintain better posture, alleviating back, shoulder, and neck tension .
Comfortable Seating on Tough Surfaces
Built-in padding allows you to "sit" low without hard pressure on your knee. The adjustable aluminum structure comes with an EVA knee pad that’s both durable and cushioned—a major upgrade from kneepads .
Enhanced Mobility
Unlike bulky knee brackets, the KneeSEAT allows you to stand, walk, or reposition seamlessly while still wearing it—no need to stop and reapply—boosting efficiency and workflow.
High-Quality Build
Made from robust yet lightweight aluminum tubing (~3.97 lbs / 1.8 kg), it supports up to 265 lbs (120 kg)
Multi-Task Use
Ideal for a variety of jobs: laying pavers, gardening, installing tile, plumbing, or performing home repair—any task that requires kneeling or low seating.
