Safety belts that keep your team moving.

Heavy transport, machinery, and forklift applications put different demands on a seat belt. Frequent entry and exit, exposure to dust and grit, gloved hands, and wide variation in seating configurations all affect how a belt performs, and whether an operator uses it.

TRT stocks APVS seat belts and safety belt kits for a wide range of commercial and heavy transport applications, with mounting options to help achieve the right fit and angle.

  • Static Belts

    APVS static belts provide fixed-length restraint where a retractor is not required. Supplied as kits with matching mounting stalks, they’re available in a range of heights and configurations.

  • Retractable Belts

    APVS retractable belts keep webbing clear when not in use, making entry and exit easier for truck and bus drivers. The retractor returns the belt to a consistent, accessible position every time.

  • Lap and Diagonal Belts

    APVS lap and diagonal belts provide pelvis and chest restraint for commercial and industrial seating. Certified for automotive, industrial and mobile plant use, they suit a wide range of vehicle applications.

  • Harnesses

    APVS harnesses provide multi-point restraint where a lap or diagonal belt is not enough. They suit high-vibration, off-road and higher-protection applications.

  • Certified Fitting Kits, Reinforcing Plates, and Accessories

    APVS belts are supplied as kits with certified fitting hardware and a matched mounting stalk. Reinforcing plates and accessories are available for non-standard or structural mounting needs.

  • Mounting Stalks

    APVS mounting stalks are available in straight, tunnel mount and electric configurations, with multiple height options. The right stalk positions the buckle within easy reach, supporting consistent seat belt use.

  • OEM-Match Seat Belts

    TRT stocks genuine replacement seat belts for KAB, Bostrom, Pilot, and other popular seat brands in use across the New Zealand fleet. If you need a direct replacement for a specific seat model, the TRT team can confirm the correct belt.


Easi-Grip Safety Belts

Built to make buckling up easier.

In forklifts and machinery, operators are often in and out of the seat throughout the day. Gloves, rainwear, thermal clothing, dirt and tight cab spaces can all make a standard belt harder to find and fasten.

APVS Easi-Grip Safety Belts help solve that. The belt is presented in an easy-to-reach position, so operators can locate, grip and fasten it quickly. That makes it easier to reinforce site safety policies and encourage belt use every shift.

How Easi-Grip works

The Easi-Grip system is designed to present the tongue and buckle in a convenient position, can be used with protective gloves, includes a web cleaning system, and offers mounting options for industrial applications.

  • Presented to the operator

    The belt tongue and buckle sit where the operator can find them quickly.

  • Easier entry

    The buckle arm on the access side lifts up for easier entry.

  • Comfortable fit

    Soft moulding wraps around the body for a secure, comfortable fit.

  • Safety monitoring ready

    Warning lights or monitoring devices can be activated if the belt is not connected.

  • Built for harsh environments

    The APVS web cleaning system helps keep dirt, gravel and stones out of the belt unit.

When to replace your seat belt.

Seat belts wear with age, use and damage, even when issues are not obvious. In commercial fleets, regular checks are essential.

Use the APVS Seat Belt Safety Checklist to assess webbing, stitching and retractor operation, and replace belts that are worn, damaged, aged or involved in an accident.
