Modular Grandstand System – Components at a Glance

The Bender system grandstand is based on a well-designed modular concept. Each component fulfills a clearly defined function and contributes to the overall performance of the structure.

1. Substructure – The Stable Foundation

The modular substructure adapts flexibly to different ground conditions.

Advantages:

  • minimal number of components
  • low weight for easy handling
  • fast and secure installation

It forms the foundation of every mobile grandstand and ensures maximum stability.

2. Support System – Optimal Sightlines Through Precise Geometry

The aluminum support system connects the substructure with the decking surface.

It allows:

  • individual adjustment of the inclination angle
  • adaptation to site-specific conditions
  • optimal sightlines for all spectators
3. Decking Surface – Flexible Material Options

The surface serves as a walking and usage area and can be customized to specific requirements.

Available materials:

  • laminated timber
  • film-faced plywood
  • steel

This flexibility enables use across a wide range of applications – from sporting events to premium business events.

4. Seating Configuration – Fully Customizable

The grandstand can be configured as:

  • seated grandstand
  • standing grandstand
  • combined solution

Seating options:

  • bench seating
  • individual seats (optionally upholstered)
  • foldable seats
  • VIP seating

This allows precise adaptation to the target audience and event format.

What is the Bender modular grandstand system?

The Bender grandstand system is a patented, modular structure built on a weight-optimised aluminium and steel tube framework. Developed specifically for temporary use, it enables the flexible realisation of mobile grandstands for events of any type and size – from small event spaces to major international productions.

How does the patented plug-in system work?

The self-securing plug-in system connects all structural components without tools and without conventional bolted connections. Elements are precisely slotted together and lock in place through their engineered geometry. This significantly reduces assembly time, minimises error sources, and allows for an exceptionally quiet installation process – an important advantage in noise-sensitive event environments.

What materials are used in the grandstand construction?

The structure combines aluminium and steel. Aluminium is used for the beam system – it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to handle on site. Steel provides high load-bearing capacity and stability in the base frame. Surface decking options include laminated timber, anti-slip plywood, and steel grating.

What are the main structural components of the Bender grandstand system?

The system consists of three core components: the plug-in base frame as a stable foundation adaptable to various ground surfaces, the aluminium beam system with individually adjustable incline angles for optimal sightlines, and the deck surface available in various materials to suit different event requirements.

What seating configurations are available?

The grandstand can be set up as a seated grandstand, a standing grandstand, or a combined solution. Seating options include bench seating, bucket seats (optionally upholstered), tip-up seats, and premium VIP seats. The right choice depends on the target audience, event format, and desired level of comfort.

What standards and certifications does the system comply with?

All Bender grandstands are structurally verified by TÜV Süd and comply with the highest safety standards, including M-FlBauR, DIN EN 13200, and DIN EN 13814, as well as the relevant assembly venue regulations. This makes them fully compliant for temporary events, public gatherings, and international projects worldwide.

What are the standard dimensions for seated and standing configurations?

Seated grandstands feature a row depth of 80 cm for high spectator comfort. Standing grandstands use a step depth of 40 cm in accordance with applicable standards. The incline angle is individually adjustable to ensure optimal sightlines for every spectator, regardless of location or terrain.
