LUTHVAR · RETRACTABLE SEATING RANGE

Retractable seating: supplier-documented configurations

Six carefully selected configurations based on SMART's 2025 retractable bleacher catalogue and a separate 2022 six-tier project drawing. The visuals below are Apollo-generated illustrations informed by supplier material, not certified model photography or technical drawings.

How to use this range: All dimensions, seat counts, operating modes and material specifications are attributed to specific examples in the supplied SMART documents. They are not independently validated, confirmed current stock configurations, code approvals or guaranteed specifications. Final quotations require project drawings, structural tests, accessibility review, manufacturer confirmation and local approvals.

15 m drawing capacity160 seats as labelled in the historical example, with two aisle openings; not a general capacity formula

Supplier clarifications required

  • Do not quote 15 m available frontage as sufficient for an overall width of 15,393 mm.
  • Obtain deployed and closed GA drawings, extension clearance, control/emergency stop and movement/lock information for the actual model.
  • Floor load, anchor/track arrangement, overturning resistance, drive servicing and accessibility must be confirmed for the destination.
For a quotation

Provide opening/stored widths and depths, clear ceiling height, platform/slab details, operational frequency, control preference, capacity, egress and accessible spaces.
