Our Seating Systems

Our Premium System was manufactured specifically for the Clipsal 500 Supercar event in Adelaide and has since been used all over the world.

The tip-up seats are manufactured from polypropylene using the latest gas injected technology for clean lines and aesthetics. This system is truly a new generation of the seating industry.

The aluminum beams and risers make this the lightest system in operation with an easy clip-in decking system allowing for quick and efficient installation.

The main frame is supported by ringlock scaffold enabling multiple configurations to robustly support any design required.

The Premium System also offers a contemporary modular arced roof system that seamlessly connects to the rear of the stand giving 100% cover where needed.
