What Is Retractable Seating?

By retracting the seating stand, you can free up floor space, quickly, easily and in a cost-effective manner. Use that freed up area to host all sorts of sporting matches, conferences, trade shows, and other types of events. What's more, thanks to automation, there isn't a lot of effort involved. Your seating (as well as rails, posts, aisles...) will simply telescopically close into itself, at the push of a button! With multiple tiered seating platforms tidily and speedily stacked in a vertical fashion, your venue can then be quickly used for a new purpose.

Turning a Venue into a Multi-Purpose One

As a venue manager, safety and reliability will be highly important to you, as well as compliance with regulations and legislation. You're always having to balance giving patrons an enjoyable event experience (comfortable seating, a great view, awesome sound) with keeping them safe for the duration of their visit to your premises, right? Right. The super-fast operation of a retractable seating structure can mean that facility space can be optimised, in a quick and hassle-free fashion, but always safely and in compliance with regulations.

From a stored away closed position, multiple tiers of retractable seating can be opened up, smoothly and with no damage to flooring. With every individual seat in a closed deck chair platform automatically opening one after the other, that makes the structure ready for spectators to take their seats in an auditorium or outdoor arena without having to wait — without becoming irritated and impatient. But don't worry that you may have to be some kind of mechanical wizard to operate the system. Not at all!

Automation Expertise is not Required

Every venue manager wants their building to be as profitable as possible. You'll know that the key to profitability is venue versatility. Installing retractable seating gives you that versatility. Whether you require retractable seating for a fixed system, or a portable one, a seating industry expert such as Master Industrie can design (and install) for you a brilliant bespoke solution. Get a design regulations-compliant system where not only do the seat rows close up upon stand retraction, all the other external system components get magically swallowed up too!
