Folding seat

Folding seats for grandstands – a comfortable seating concept with optimized escape route width

What is a folding seat for grandstands?

A folding seat is a seat with a foldable seat surface that automatically folds upwards when unoccupied. When unfolded, it offers full seating comfort; when folded, it frees up aisle space. This significantly improves escape route width and allows for narrower row spacing while maintaining standard-compliant escape route capacity – a double benefit for safety and capacity.

Folding seats in the Bender grandstand system – combining comfort and safety

Bender Tribunen offers folding seats as an upgrade to standard seats. Made of weather-resistant plastic, they are easy to install and meet all relevant standards. Folding seats are available in various colors and can be enhanced with covers or slipcovers. Especially for high-profile events – tennis, golf, cultural – folding seats are the ideal choice for more comfortable seating and improved emergency exit performance.

Escape route advantages through folding seats

Since folding seats do not obstruct the aisle when folded, the full aisle width can be used for calculating escape routes. This allows for more rows of seats on the same grandstand area without changing the escape route capacity.

Maintenance and longevity

The folding mechanism is designed for durability and functions reliably even after repeated folding and unfolding. Bender inspects all folding seats before each use and replaces any defective parts.
