Many users are unfamiliar with the applications of Low-back Telescopic Grandstands. Today, we'll illustrate this with a case study: A user in France wanted to purchase a batch of seats to complement their auditorium, hosting diverse events such as campus conferences, academic forums, and cultural performances. However, traditional fixed grandstands occupy fixed space and cannot meet the capacity switching needs of different scenarios, such as meetings and performances. The campus venue needed to balance practicality and architectural aesthetics, and the grandstands needed to coordinate with the venue's solid wood floors, walls, and ceilings. Given the high frequency of daily use, ease of operation and quick deployment by a single person were required. After detailed communication with our company, they decided to purchase Low-back Telescopic Grandstands, which perfectly solved the user's multiple needs.
High space utilization: Utilizing a modular and compact structure, it occupies only 1.2m of width when folded, and can be quickly expanded into a full 157-seat grandstand when unfolded, increasing space utilization by 300% compared to traditional fixed grandstands. For daily meetings, the grandstand can be completely folded away, freeing up approximately 140㎡ of open floor space in the auditorium. This space can be used for round-table meetings, exhibition areas, and stage performances, meeting the needs of large conferences of 300 people or cultural performances of 200 people. When hosting campus basketball games or debates, the grandstand unfolds with 8 rows of seats. The tiered layout ensures unobstructed views for each row of spectators while maintaining surrounding passageways for personnel. This achieves efficient synergy between the "event + audience" spaces. Compared to traditional double-row fixed grandstands, this product eliminates the need to reserve space for double-row pole installation, directly saving 65% of the space occupancy rate, perfectly meeting the core requirement of "multi-purpose use" in campus venues.
Low-back design: This is the core feature of the Low-back Telescopic Grandstand. With a backrest height of only 45cm, it conforms to the sitting posture habits of campus users, ensuring comfort even during long performances or meetings. The seats feature resilient foam cushions and durable, stain-resistant fabric, suitable for high-frequency campus use. Cleaning and maintenance require only regular wiping. The grandstand has a load-bearing capacity of 350kg/㎡ and has passed EU CE safety certification. Each row of seats is equipped with anti-slip rubber mats, and the steps have anti-slip textures to prevent students from slipping when entering or leaving the stage. The grandstand's opening and closing process includes an automatic limit device that locks automatically when in position, preventing accidental operation and potential safety hazards. The grandstand aisle is 1.1m wide, meeting wheelchair access requirements and conforming to the campus's "age-friendly" construction standards, allowing students with disabilities to easily participate in campus activities.
Electric Operation: The Low-back Telescopic Grandstand is equipped with a fully automatic electric drive system, completely eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive deployment method of traditional manual grandstands. This significantly improves the operational efficiency of campus venues. The grandstand can be deployed, retracted, and positioned via a wireless remote control. The entire operation can be completed by a single person in just 3 minutes, compared to the 30 minutes required for deployment of traditional manual grandstands by 5-8 people. This represents a 10-fold increase in efficiency. The system features built-in high-precision guide rails, ensuring 99% neatness of the seating arrangement after deployment. The step height difference is precisely controlled within 15cm, guaranteeing unobstructed views for the audience. It also adapts to the layout requirements of stage lighting and sound equipment. The drive motor adopts a silent design, with operating noise below 45 decibels, ensuring it will not disturb the atmosphere of campus meetings or cultural performances and is suitable for the quiet environment of the campus.
Aesthetic Integration Design: The grandstand and the overall style of the venue are coordinated. The back panel and skirting board of the grandstand are made of French sycamore wood veneer that is completely consistent with the solid wood flooring, wooden walls/ceiling of the venue, forming a natural visual connection and breaking the traditional impression of "separation between the grandstand and the venue". The low-back seats are made of light brown tones that echo the ochre color of the stained concrete on the exterior walls of the venue. The overall style is calm and grand, which not only conforms to the introverted temperament of campus culture, but also does not obstruct the overall decoration style of the venue. The low back design weakens the visual heaviness. The overall lines of the grandstand are smooth and the fit with the wall is 98% when it is folded up, without destroying the original spatial beauty of the venue and maintaining the simple and transparent visual effect of the auditorium.
The low-back telescopic grandstand is manufactured using a high-strength Q355B steel frame with a hot-dip galvanized finish. It employs modular packaging; the TS85 model is divided into 8 seat modules + 2 drive system modules, with a total weight of only 2.8 tons. This allows for transport by European light trucks, avoiding traffic restrictions on large vehicles entering southern Paris, and a delivery cycle of only 7 days. After installation, the team provides 2 hours of operational training to campus operators, covering remote control use, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring that campus personnel can operate the grandstand independently.
