A. Wall Attached (Forward Fold) System: This is the most typical application of telescopic seating in which the bleachers open in the forward direction. They are available up to 30 rows and utilize either wall or freestanding floor attachment. Closes from first to last (top) row and operation is either electric or manual.
B. Reverse-Fold System: Reverse-fold systems are designed where space behind bleacher stack area is desired for other activities when the bleacher is not in use. This design is common in areas such as balconies and mezzanines. Up to 20 rows can be specified with this system (over 20 rows consult factory). Closes from last to first (bottom or lowest) row. Electric or manual operation.
C. Portable System: Portable systems are designed so that they may be used in one part of a building and stored in another. They consist of freestanding single sections of bleachers. Portable hydraulic dollies are provided for transporting bleachers to various spectator or storage areas. Manual operation only. Check floor condition and consult factory regarding point loads.
D. Recessed System: This system requires minimal clearance to fit under a balcony overhang, thereby allowing total utilization available playing surface. Up to 30 rows can be specified with this system (over 30 rows consult the factory). Closes from the first to last (top) row. Electric or manual operation.
Reverse-Fold/Delayed Action: Same as reverse-fold except when bleachers are folder into a closed position the bleachers move forward to recover the front aisle area, resulting in additional usable space behind the closed bleacher.
Truncated Sections: Cut-outs for the requirement of wheelchair seating, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Elevated Front and Rear Walkways: To improve sightlines or comply with code.
Cut-Outs: For columns that extend out from a wall.
1. Gross Seating (Lineal Feet) x (Number of Rows) / 1.5 (based on an 18" seat).
2. Approximate Net Seating: Multiply #1 x .85 to allow for aisles and ADA considerations.
Balcony Height "D" should exceed unit height "C" by 8" (203 mm) maximum from top-row floorboard.

A Range of Seating Options and Strategies your choice in comfort, seating capacity, and economy.
Fixed ADA cut-outs: non recoverable ADA cut-outs are available in either 1 or 2 rows deep. Place these at the corners of any section for your most economical and convenient solutionwith no additional set up.
Recoverable ADA cut-outs: can be placed at the corners of any section, in 1 row deep configurations. They can be locked to the first row when not needed for ADA seating, providing the full recoverability of valuable seating space, and because they are locked to the front row, you only set them up when needed.
Full section 1st row Truncations: Available in permanent and recoverable configurations from 12-20 feet. Full section truncations offer flexibility of use and ease of set up. For maximum convenience, Kodiak Seating recommends a maximum of 1 truncated section per bleacher area. The Kodiak Seating approach to full section truncations allows for tractor placement under the first row (not second), greatly reducing set up time. (No inconvenient manual first row on electrically operated bleachers as with other manufacturers systems)
Self Storing End Rails: Eliminate storage needs with the self storing end rail. Adds 12" to each end of the bank length.
End Panels: Keep unwanted material from getting behind bleachers in the stored position by adding End Panels to the back wall on either side of the bleacher bank.
Rear Panels: Keep unwanted material from getting under bleachers - ideal for reverse folding configuration.
Scorers Tables: Standard Size 96" (2349 mm) x 15" (381 mm)
Hydraulic Transporters: For portable configurations only.
Vinyl End Closures (VEC): Keep unwanted material from getting under the bleachers while it is extended or retracted. Made with heavy duty vinyl coated polyester, the closure is able to flex and fold with the bleachers every move.
Mark II: Portable Electric Tractor - Add the ease of electric operation to manually operated bleachers. Ideal for medium sized bleachers up to 13 rows.
Stainless Steel P-Rails: Kodiak Seating's P-Rails are nonremovable folding aisle handrails. The mounting pocket allows rails to pivot and fold sideways. The Kodiak P-Rail is the only center aisle rail in the industry that offers the asthetic beauty, durability, and zero maintenance convenience of stainless steel.
