Three Functions. One Versatile System.
Cooling: When used with a compatible frozen ICEPLATE®, the system provides body-contact cooling to help manage personal comfort in hot environments.
Heating: A compatible ICEPLATE® filled with appropriately heated water can provide body-contact warmth in cold conditions, subject to manufacturer temperature and safety instructions.
Hydration: The ICEPLATE® reservoir can carry drinking water for use with a compatible hydration hose and drinking valve.
The Driver Harness is designed to support these functions in a wearable configuration, giving users flexibility as conditions and activities change.

[ OVERVIEW ]
Climate Controlled.
Performance Engineered.
ICEPLATE® Driver Harness is engineered for vehicle operation, using ICEPLATE® Gen 3 to deliver cooling, heating, and hydration, while keeping the operator’s back flush against the seat for safety and comfort.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ICEPLATE® Driver Harness is compatible with Hybrid HANS Device head and neck restraints.
Evolution of Vehicle Cooling
Traditional vehicle-mounted cooling systems are heavy, complex, and expensive. ICEPLATE® Driver Harness shifts thermoregulation from the vehicle to the human, making it ideal for forklifts, delivery vans, heavy equipment, and doorless vehicles where AC is limited or unavailable.
Key Driver Capabilities
- Cooling & Heating Power: 70W cooling / 52W heating from 52.4 fl oz (1.55 L) of thermal mass
- Seated Ergonomics: Front-mounted design eliminates bulk between operator and seat
- Temperature Advantage: Reduces heat-induced cognitive decline for safer, sharper operation
- Maintenance-Free: No pumps, electronics, or proprietary coolants
Professional Reliability
Adjustable shoulder straps and an elastic Velcro belt allow natural movement while maintaining a secure fit. Designed for long shifts in demanding environments.
Ideal For
- Forklift Operators
- Heavy Equipment Teams
- Delivery & Last-Mile Logistics
- Warehouse Safety
- Open-Cab Vehicle Operation
