LUTHVAR · CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Manufacturer-reference seating configurations

Example specifications from published manufacturer information for planning discussions. These are reference configurations, not a stock schedule or fixed customer quotation. Apollo confirms the selected model and engineering details before supply.

How to use this information

The dimensions below are manufacturer-published examples, not guaranteed dimensions for another project. Capacity, operation, final drawings, availability and applicable test evidence must be checked against the chosen system and destination.

Use the model names as reference points when discussing options for your venue. Example row counts are not automatically interchangeable with the available depth of your hall.

SUPPLIER-DRAWN REFERENCE · 21 MAY 2022

Six-tier, approximately 15 m retractable seating example

A two-page SMART Group general-arrangement drawing titled “6层15m伸缩看台-高靠背双通道” shows a six-tier retractable bank with high-back seats and two aisles. The drawing labels the layout as 160 seats, with the following example dimensions. It is a historical supplier drawing, not an approved design for any specific project.

Seats
160
Nominal seating width
15,000 mm
Overall drawing width
15,393 mm
Extended depth
5,000 mm
Retracted depth
1,800 mm
Retracted height
2,722 mm

The dimensioned view also labels 900 mm longitudinal intervals, a 300 mm rise, 500 mm seat spacing and an 800 mm aisle-related dimension. Final interpretation, clearances, aisle widths and measured envelopes must be confirmed with a current dimensioned drawing.

Project qualification: A venue reporting 15 m frontage and 5 m available depth is not automatically suitable: the drawing's overall width is greater than 15 m, and access, egress, slab capacity, circulation and local approvals remain to be resolved. Request a project-specific revision rather than treating this example as a fixed-size kit.

Additional seating formats documented in SMART's 2025 catalogue

The supplied SMART Retractable Bleachers 2025 brochure contains reference photography and layouts for upholstered folding-seat banks, plastic-seat telescopic stands, compact movable and 360° movable bleachers, benches, corner configurations and multi-bank arena seating. This provides better reference material for product-family selection than the earlier generated model illustrations.

Brochure pages 3–6 show folding upholstered-seat configurations; pages 10–12 show movable retractable systems; pages 13–23 show further bench, corner and plastic-seat formats. Brochure examples are not proof of currently available options, certifications or exact dimensions for a customer quotation. Manufacturer photography and reproduced drawings should be cleared for Apollo website reuse before publishing them as product media.

Request drawings and manufacturer confirmation

To turn a reference into a project proposal, include the venue location, required seating capacity, clear frontage, maximum deployed depth, stored space, floor or foundation information, preferred operating method and delivery deadline. Apollo will seek suitable general arrangement drawings, relevant structural evidence, seat layout, access provisions and an itemised supply scope from the manufacturer.

Drawings and supporting documents depend on the selected model and supplier response. No unverified certification or final seating capacity is promised.
