The revolutionary Saf-T-Anchor Removable Seat (S.T.A.R.S.) mounting system for special-needs buses is the answer for fleet managers who struggle with seat reconfigurations. This proprietary seating system, unique to Thomas Built Buses, is unlike track seating. The S.T.A.R.S. mounting system allows passenger seats to be easily removed and reinstalled quickly – literally within a few minutes.
This unique system uses wall-mounted seats with the feet secured to the floor using one-of-a-kind designed anchors.
No special hardware or complicated measuring is required. The seats will only go back in the location as designed and installed by the factory, so there is no guesswork during reinstallation. This allows easy configuration and reconfiguration of buses, based on the number of special-needs students.
Even better, the S.T.A.R.S. mounting system is actually much more cost effective than track seating as there is no need to purchase continuous track and no upcharge for the track-mounted seat frame.
You’ll want to see this revolutionary seating system for yourself. To learn more, contact your local dealer or watch S.T.A.R.S. in action here.
**The S.T.A.R.S. mounting system meets all state and federal safety regulations, including FMVSS 210, 213, 222 and 225.
