The patented slant-frame telescopic platform behind 10+ million seats installed worldwide with zero structural failures.
Independently verified under ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-5033, the first and only ICC-ES Evaluation Report in the telescopic seating industry. Independent third-party structural testing to 200 % of design load confirms the safety margin behind that record.
MAXAM is the K–12 and community-recreation workhorse — engineered for the standard gymnasium without the premium-platform price.

The understructure — frame, beams, locking
Slant-frame construction
Patented angled-column geometry transfers occupant load through the structural design rather than fighting it — the foundation of the 10M+ zero-failure record. 14-gauge post columns and 10-gauge cantilever arms.
Continuous Positive Interglide (CPI)
Skirted U-shape wheel channel with patented Low-Profile Posi-Lock LX row locks — prevents separation and misalignment, transmits sway loads under occupant load, and supports field adjustment of row spacing.
Lubrication-free for life
No annual greasing. No maintenance contract. Sealed at install and stays quiet for the life of the platform.
Non-marring 5″ casters
Soft-rubber face; less rolling friction than competitor casters — no marks, no scuffs on a freshly refinished gym floor.
Specifying a bank — mounting, operation, drive
Section widths 9′-0″ to 27′-0″ (2 740–8 230 mm), scaling to 30 rows wall-attached at 16′-6″ (5 030 mm)+ section width. Free-standing, reverse-fold, and elevated-front-aisle configurations cap at 20 rows; portable units cap lower — see the formal spec for limits.
Wireless pendant with RFID safety timeout and motion monitor. Flex-Row™ barrier-free modules (2–7 seats) integrate at row 1; PowerFrame on row 2 keeps Flex-Row accessible stowed and deployed.
