Space recovery
Retract the seating to recover usable sports, event or teaching floor area.
Apollo Sports · Retractable Seating
Retractable and telescopic seating for arenas, halls and multipurpose venues.
Retractable seating creates spectator capacity when it is needed and returns floor area when it is not. Apollo's project pathway covers manual and electric telescopic systems with moulded, bench-style and selected upholstered seating configurations for sports halls, arenas, schools, universities, auditoriums and multipurpose venues.

Technical overview
Configure the seating bank around the room and operating model
Final row count, platform geometry, seat type, drive system, rails, accessible areas and controls are resolved against the venue rather than assumed from a generic module.
01Operation
Manual or electricSelected around system size, use frequency and venue requirements.
02Applications
Sports halls · arenas · auditoriumsAlso suited to schools, universities and multipurpose event spaces.
03Seating
Moulded · bench · folding / upholstered pathwaysExact seat model and mounting are confirmed for the project.
04Layout
Project-specificRows, aisles, rails, access and storage envelope are coordinated to the building.
05Engineering
Manufacturer-supportedConstruction/fabrication drawings, seating layout and interface information can be supplied after confirmation.
06Certification
Configuration-specific verificationCurrent supplier evidence includes a FIBA-listed retractable bleacher/telescopic stand at Competition Level 1; exact quoted-system scope is verified before use in a tender or project claim.
Apollo is supply-only. Local installation labour, civil works, site management and statutory approvals remain with the client, principal contractor or locally appointed project team. Manufacturer engineering and site installation guidance can be arranged where required by the agreed project scope.
Project fit
Flexibility matters only when the system is engineered for repeated real-world use.
Multiple seat grades
Configure simple sports seating or selected higher-comfort folding and upholstered pathways.
Accessible planning
Aisles, rails and accessible spectator areas can be coordinated during project engineering.
Site guidance
Manufacturer engineers can provide installation guidance to the client's locally arranged labour team.
