Semi-automatic fold down The chairs fold down onto the deck automatically as the telescopic platforms retract. Once the platforms have been opened, chairs can be lifted into position in groups of three or four.
Manual fold down Chairs are folded down prior to retraction of the platforms in groups of three or four (or up to fifteen if a lever is used). Chairs fold down smoothly without having to be first lifted out of a latch - thus complying with health and safety regulations regarding lifting at work.

Telescopic platform opening / closing
Power operation Telescopic platforms can be opened and retracted safely using a friction drive. The motor is controlled using a simple hand-held push button device. Multiple units can be connected together and power operated as one.
Manual operation Smaller retractable seating systems can be opened manually, using detachable pull handles or power trucks.
Partial opening
The telescopic system can be opened to any number of rows. The number of rows opened can be selected by the user using the simple panel on the front of the unit.

Movement of mobile telescopic systems
Once retracted, mobile telescopic systems can be moved in the following ways:
Manually
Smaller telescopic systems can be lifted using hydraulic or air (hover) trucks and manoeuvred by hand.
Via fork lift
Larger telescopic systems, often in arena-type environments, can be repositioned using fork lift trucks
