Suspension systems and grounds maintenance vehicles incorporating the same are disclosed. The suspension system may include biasing elements or springs that may be adjusted to vary the preload and thus change the spring and dampening characteristics of the suspension system. In some embodiments, the system may include an adjustment mechanism that permits simultaneous adjustment of two springs via a single action. In other embodiments, features adapted to assist an operator with mounting/dismounting the vehicle are disclosed.

The invention relates to a seat arrangement for a vehicle, in particular for a fork-lift truck, the seat arrangement having a first spring part, on which a vehicle seat is arranged, and a second spring part, which can be moved relative to the first spring part by means of a connecting unit and is connected to the body, the relative movement of the first spring part to the second spring part being sprung by means of a spring unit, the spring unit and the connecting unit being arranged laterally on the first spring part.

A seat suspension includes a base including a base hook and a seat platform provided with a seat. A first link couples a first rotational axis of the base and a third rotational axis of the seat platform and is configured to be rotatable about the first rotational axis and the third rotational axis. A second link couples a second rotational axis of the base and a fourth rotational axis of the seat platform and is configured to be rotatable about the second rotational axis and the fourth rotational axis. A link hook is provided on the second link. An elastic member is latched to the base hook and the link hook and is configured to pull the link hook toward the base hook. A first angle between a contracting direction of the elastic member and a rotation direction of the link hook increases as the elastic member expands.
