TechTips
Telescopic Seating System Types:
Wall-Attached (Forward Fold)
The economical wall attached system is the most typical application of telescopic seating in which the
bleachers open in the forward direction. They may be specified with either manual or power operation.
The units mount directly to a wall and/or to the floor. Rear cut-outs or truncations may be necessary to
accommodate column projections and other obstructions. (For installations over 24 rows, consult factory)
Standard sections offer best economy. Individual sections make up banks of seating. For costefficiency, use standard section lengths and minimize the number of sections in each bank. For example, an 100’ bank of seating may consist of four (4) 25’ sections. Code compliance and all load testing
data is based on the longest possible section lengths.
Truncations/Notchouts: These are cut-outs of one or more rows to create space for wheelchair
access or to allow for obstructions (columns, portable backstops, etc.) Please see ADA Planning page
in this section
Overhead obstructions: Items such as side court backstops, lighting, building truss and duct work
should be out of reach of spectators when they are standing on the bleachers. This will eliminate
potentially hazardous conditions and provide an unobstructed view for the spectator.
Operating clearance: A distance of 2-1/2” from the end of the bleacher (including rails) to the wall or
obstructions is recommended.
Wall requirements: Ideally, the walls to which the seating will be attached will not have column
projections or other obstructions greater than 1-1/2”. When columns extend further than 1-1/2” into
the room, it is recommended that the seating be “cut-out” around the column rather than
installing in front of the column and filling the space to the wall or employing back rails. Both
of the methods are more expensive and require more space than the cut-outs.
Floors: Floors should be able to withstand a concentrated point load, per
square inch that varies by the system size and quantity of
structural sections. Synthetic floor surfaces should be static
load tested to determine suitability. Wood
floors should be solid blocked under bleacher
supports.

TechTips
Telescopic Seating System Types:
Free-Standing (Floor Attached)
Free-standing systems are similar to wall-attached units, however, they are permanently attached to the
floor only. These are typically used in applications where bleachers are required to be located away
from walls or when wall construction prohibits attachment.
Free-standing system guidelines: 20 rows at 10-1/4” rise, 17 rows at 11-1/2” rise, 12 rows at 16”
rise. Please contact the factory for applications requiring higher rows. NOTE: Larger stack dimensions
may be required.
Back panels and rails: When Free-Standing units are located away from a wall, back panels are
suggested and rails are required for safety purposes. Back rails are required for spectator safety. All
Interkal back rails contain vertical intermediate members to eliminate the “ladder effect”. When the units
are open or closed, back panels discourage access to the understructure and improve aesthetics with
a flat wall surface. Standard back panels are provided 8’ high.
Floor: Flooring must be suitable to anchor the rear row(s) vertical posts.
5
TechTips
Telescopic Seating System Types:
Reverse Fold
Reverse-fold systems are typically used in balcony applications to recover floor space for multi-purpose activity areas. The first row is fixed and the entire unit moves in a reverse direction until fully
extended.
Forward travel (aisle recovery): An aisle recovery system (optional) can be provided that will create
a front aisle space when the seating is open and “close over” the aisle when the seating is in the
stacked position. Not available with truncations. 42” max. Longer forward travel will increase stack size.
Row rise: Proper row rise is important to achieve an adequate sight line. 11-1/2” or 16” rise is recommended for optimal sight lines. Less than 11-1/2” rise does not provide wide scope vision of main
floor activities.
Back panels: Suggested on reverse-fold units, back panels discourage access to the understructure
and provide a flat wall surface when seating is in the open or closed position. Standard back panels
are provided 8’ high.
Back rails: Since reverse-fold systems are generally located away from a permanent wall, back rails
are required for spectator safety. All Interkal back rails contain vertical intermediate members to eliminate the “ladder effect”.
Overhead obstructions: Be sure to provide for adequate clearance of overhead obstructions. Verify
minimum applicable building code clearance required above the last deck or last row seat.

TechTips
Telescopic Seating System Types:
Recessed
For seating units in a “recess” generally under a balcony overhang. Typically a recess is created by
extending the balcony over the main floor and using this space as storage for the retracted telescopic
units. The purpose is to achieve more balcony seating and more usable main-floor space when the
system is fully retracted.
Understructure: A recessed system utilizes extra rows of understructure linkage or scissor mechanisms in order for the bleacher to stack under the balcony. NOTE: Recessed system stack dimensions
are larger than Wall-Attached systems.
Recess opening: The clearance between the top of the last row seat and the under side of the
recess is recommended to be approximately 3” to 4”, but can be as small as 1-1/2”.
Balcony access: Since the recessed units can serve as access to the balcony seating, it is necessary to coordinate the balcony height with the height of the last row of seating. Recent building code
changes allow for all step heights to vary as you transition to adjoining construction if properly marked
with contrasting step colors. These tolerances may be unachievable and code variances may be
required. Please see Balcony Access Chart in the Design Guide/Codes section. Consult Factory
for design assistance.

TechTips
Telescopic Seating System Types:
Mobile Units (Portable)
Mobile seating units may be moved from location to location on the same floor level. These are independent, self-supporting units that do not require anchorage to either wall or floor. Typically used in the
gymnasium, music room, cafeteria and classrooms, they provide the ultimate in flexibility along with
easy manual operation. Choose 10-1/4” or 11-1/2” row rise and 22, 24, 26, 30, 32 or 33” back to
back seat spacing.
Hydraulic trucks: Required to move mobile units, hydraulic trucks can be either free-standing or selfcontained. Free-standing trucks are recommended for cost-savings whenever two or more sections of
mobile seating are required. Self-contained mobile trucks are not recommended on higher rows.
Row limitation: On wood or concrete floors, a maximum of 12 rows with an 11-1/2” rise, or 14 rows
with a 10-1/4” rise is recommended (9 to 11 rows on synthetic floors) for convenient handling. With
proper planning the desired seating capacity can be achieved without oversize mobile units that can be
difficult to handle.
Back panels / back rails: Back rails are required, Back panels (standard 8’ high) are required on
mobile units above 8 rows for safety purposes and not required on units less than 8 rows. Back rails
are required for spectator safety. All Interkal backrails contain vertical intermediate members to
eliminate the “Ladder effect”. When the units are open or closed, back panels provide a flat
wall surface and discourage access to the understructure.

accommodations or court-level scorer’s table.
Vari-Row is a flexible system which can be
provided in wider sizes than standard
notchouts. The width is governed by the
understructure layout.
Recoverable Truncation. A recoverable
truncation allows flexibility with layout options.
Special engineering is required for power
operation. Step assemblies will be required if
aisles fall in truncations. Front Rails are available as an option for one row deep and
required for two row deep.

Sections
Rectangular

Round building
Tapered Sections. Used in radius corner applications, a tapered section is essentially a standard section with angled ends. This may be
used with Wall-Attached, Free-Standing, Recessed or Mobile Units.
(With free-standing trucks only). While this option adds cost and complexity to the project, use of tapered sections provide optimum sight lines
and can produce a dramatic “arena” look to the installation.
General Guidelines/Limitations:
–Even row alignment requires equal angles between sections.
–Maximum angle is 22.5 degrees.
–First row width is required to be a minimum of 5’-0”, or 1/2 the
width of the last row, whichever is greater.
Operating Clearance Between Sections.
On manually operated banks, space is
required between sections to assure adequate
operating clearance. This helps eliminate binding and damage to the system if sections are
not opened in straight alignment.
Operating Clearance To Wall. Space is
required between the end of sections or rails
and any wall or obstruction. In case sections
are not opened in straight alignment, this helps
eliminate binding and damage to the system.
The space required varies by number of rows
and type of operation.

Definitions
Section: The deck assembly,
seating options and understructure
are the three major components
that make up a section. Standard
section widths vary from up to 26’
depending on number of rows and
the bleacher type.
Bank: A bank is comprised of a number of
sections grouped to
function as one, not
necessarily tied together.
Bank lengths can vary
up to 16 feet to hundreds of feet.
Row / Tier: With chair seating,
each full deck (tier) counts as a
row.
In bench seating, each row of
modules counts as a row.

TechTips
Typical Details:
Operation
Integral Friction Power. U.L. Listed friction
power units attach to the understructure at the
first row for automatic push-button operation.
This option is available for forward or reversefold seating systems. Two horse assemblies are
linked together by a continuous drive shaft driven by a 1/2H.P. 208V, 3-phase motor. This
drive shaft controls friction roller operation in a
straight, efficient manner. Ideal for banks which
include numerous notchouts or truncations. See
page 71-73 for Details and Wiring information.
Manual Operation. Manually operated systems
can be made up of multiple sections configured
with the appropriate spacing between sections to
allow for side to side movement during opening
and closing the bleacher.
(Portable unit
shown here)
Portable and Integral Dollies: For transporting mobile seating systems from location
to location. Mobile seating systems require
hydraulic dollies.
Motion Monitor. Available on automatic
power units only, this motion monitor provides
an audio and visual warning during power
operation. This unit is mounted under the
bleacher and is comprised of flashing lights
and a self-contained warning horn rated at 85
db at 10’.

TechTips
Typical Details: Understructure
SuperSlideTM
This low friction flexible rod system assures positive engagement of vertical supports without
binding for smooth operation over uneven floor
conditions. It maintains proper vertical column
spacing, reduces wear and helps eliminate racking damage.
Row Locks Stabilize the bleacher under load
in the extended position by securely locking
each support post to an adjacent post.
They automatically engage and release for opening and closing operation. Individual row locks
make it possible to open any number of rows
without opening the entire bank of bleachers.
Through-bolt fastening used at all frame,
brace and deck locations. SAE-grade 5 or 8
bolts with lock washers and hex nuts provide
friction resistance.
Sway Braces: Sway braces fabricated from
steel are essential for bleachers to resist the
compression and tension forces created when
the bleachers are loaded. The overall number
of the sway braces are determined by 2 per
row, per section.
Deck Supports (also referred to as “combo
brackets”) help prevent sagging and potential
binding during operation.

Field Check “Checklist”
Following are some guidelines, critical information, needed to make the engineering process go
smoother. Taking the time to verify this information can improve cost-efficiency, processing and installation
time for the project.
Obstructions: look for and dimensionally locate any:
❑ Doors/Windows
❑ Pipes/Duct work
❑ Drinking fountains
❑ Columns
❑ Electrical boxes/Conduit
❑ X-Bracing
❑ Floor/Wall vents
❑ Divider walls/Curtains
❑ Fire extinguishers
❑ Switches/Outlets
❑ Overhead clearances (backboards, light fixtures, acoustic panels, etc…)
Wall Information: Is it load bearing? Verify with proper officials that bleachers can be attached to it.
❑ Concrete block – filled or hollow
❑ Solid concrete/ Brick
❑ Stud wall – wood or steel
We need the stud spacing and material over top.
❑ Steel or pre-fab building
If wall is more than one type we need the height at transition.
Floor Information: Is it a finished floor? Is existing floor level?
❑ Wood
❑ Synthetic – Verify type/name.
❑ Concrete
❑ Tile or Carpet – Verify what is under it.
If floor has a transition, verify the different surfaces and dimensions.
Recess/Balcony Access information:
❑ Verify depth and height of recess area, measuring in several places for variations.
Obtain lowest and highest measurement between finished floor and underside of the recess.
❑ Pipes or other obstructions in recess area
❑ Balcony height from main finished floor to balcony finished floor.
❑ Thickness and material of balcony face
❑ Gate locations and sizes
❑ Balcony Rails – How they are mounted and dimensions of them
Mobile Unit information: Dimensions will be larger than charts due to dollies and rails
❑ Determine the storage area.
❑ Determine that the door width and height will be sufficient
❑ Determine the floor conditions that it is to travel over
General information:
❑ Bank length should not include rail, available space will include rail
❑ Make some notation to all specifies or verifies, even if n/a is the necessary response.
❑ If information is to be faxed, please be sure that everything is easily legible and follow up by
mailing a full sized copy .
❑ Pictures are very helpful

Court Diagrams
Basketball Court Specifications
1. If possible, building plans should provide for a court with ideal measurements as stated in Rule 1-1, ample outof-bounds area and necessary seating space. A long court permits use of two crosswise courts for practice and
informal games.
2. The ceiling should be at least 25 feet or higher if possible.
3. Instead of the 2-inch minimum boundaries, it is legal to use contrasting colored floor areas by painting the outof-bounds area, the center circle, and the restricted parts of the free-throw lanes so that the mathematical line
between the two colors is the boundary. If such contrasting colored out-of-bounds belt is used, it should be at
least 8 inches wide.
4. It is recommended that a belt 8 inches wide or more in width be used to mark the boundaries on all courts
which have at least 10 feet of open space between the boundary lines and the seating. This plan is urged for all
new construction and for other similar courts when the boundaries are remarked.
5. It is recommended that there be a 2-inch wide broken line consisting of 12-inch segments, 12-inches apart, of
a color different from that of the boundary, at a minimum of 6 feet outside the court extending from sideline to sideline and parallel to the end line.
6. Optional coaching box — tableside. Bounded by a line 28 feet from end line, the sideline, a line 22 feet from
end line, and the team bench. Located off the court, 2 inches wide and color contrasting with boundary line.
NOTE: State associations may, on an individual basis, allow alternate bench locations.
7. The court should be uniformly and adequately lighted. Lighting engineers should be placed in charge of this

Power Systems:
Non-Friction Power
This is a fully automatic power system designed to open and close wall-attached, recessed or reverse-fold telescopic bleachers at the touch of a button – without the need for traction force on the floor. It has the capacity to
move more rows of bleachers than any other mechanical power system developed for the telescopic seating market. Limit switches are used to stop the 2HP, 208-230VAC, 3-phase motor in the fully open or closed positions.
The chain drive pusher links assure years of dependable performance as well as non-slip, straight line operation.
Typical Drum Chain Layout (5 sections)
Side elevation: Non-Friction or Chain Power Drum
Built For Reliable Performance: The chain drive pusher links assure years of dependable performance and
non-slip, straight line operation. Links are connected by hardened cast steel hinges which allow the links to wind on
the drum. The drums and motor are attached to the wall and floor to eliminate pulling strain on the floor.
The links ride on soft rubber wheels, making floor contact superficial – Ideal for vulnerable floor surfaces such as
carpet, synthetic and others. A power chain attaches drum to the central motor/gearbox which drives varying numbers of drums simultaneously using a continuous hardened steel line shaft. 2HP, 208-230VAC, 3-phase motor.
Superior drum construction produces consistent and efficient operation of the chain links. Limit switches are used
to stop the bleacher in the fully open or closed positions.
