Telescopic grandstands

Telescopic grandstands are also referred to as retractable grandstands. They are specially developed for spaces where extra seating is needed quickly, without the grandstand permanently taking up a lot of space.

In sports halls this is particularly practical. The hall can be set up with seating for spectators during matches or events and then cleared again for training sessions, gym classes or other sports activities.

A fixed telescopic grandstand is placed in a fixed position in the venue. This version is suitable for sports halls, theatres and multifunctional halls where audiences are regularly received and where a reliable, durable grandstand solution is desired.

The fixed telescopic grandstands from W&H Sports are robust, user-friendly and suitable for intensive use. Thanks to the retractable system, the grandstand remains compact when it is not in use, while extra seating capacity is created quickly during events.

A mobile telescopic grandstand offers extra flexibility. This grandstand can be moved and used in different places within a space. This is useful for venues where the layout changes regularly or where the grandstand is not always needed in the same place.

Mobile telescopic grandstands are suitable for sports halls, event venues, schools and multifunctional spaces. Thanks to a practical wheeled system, the grandstand can be moved and used whenever needed.

The major advantage of a telescopic grandstand is the space saving. When the grandstand is retracted, it takes up much less floor space. This keeps the space multifunctionally usable.

This makes telescopic grandstands interesting for locations where every square metre counts. Think of sports buildings where multiple sports are practised, halls that are also used for events or schools where sports and educational functions come together.

Telescopic grandstands can be fitted with different types of seating. Think of simple benches, plastic grandstand seats, folding chairs or more luxurious seating solutions, depending on the desired appearance and comfort level.

The seat choice affects capacity, circulation space, appearance and user experience. W&H Sports is happy to help think through the right balance between comfort, capacity and practical applicability.

A telescopic grandstand must be safe, stable and user-friendly. That is why the design takes stair access, handrails, anti-slip provisions, load, walkways and the operation of the system into account.

The way it is extended and retracted is also important. Depending on the type of grandstand, this can be carried out manually, mechanically or with a powered system.

The capacity of a telescopic grandstand depends on the available space, the number of rows, the width of the grandstand, the seat choice and the layout. A compact grandstand for a school requires a different solution than a large grandstand for a sports hall or event hall.

W&H Sports can translate the desired capacity into a suitable grandstand layout. In doing so, we look at sightlines, safety, circulation space, seat type and the way the space is used daily.

A telescopic grandstand requires careful preparation. First, the location, available space, desired capacity and type of use are considered. Then a design or drawing can be developed, so that it is clear in advance how the grandstand fits into the space.

W&H Sports can guide the process from advice and design to delivery and installation. This creates a telescopic grandstand that fits the venue well and is immediately practical to use.

Several factors play a role when choosing a telescopic grandstand. Think of a fixed or mobile version, operation, capacity, seat choice, storage space, subfloor, safety and budget.

W&H Sports is happy to advise on the right solution. This way you can be sure that the grandstand suits the space, the users and the way the venue is used.

A fixed telescopic stand is placed in a fixed location in the room and slides in and out there. A mobile telescopic stand can be moved and used in different places.

That depends on the available space, the number of rows, the width of the stand, the choice of seats and the layout. W&H Sports can create a design or seating plan to make the capacity clear.
