§ 01 Overview
K–12 + community recreation

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.

§ 03 Engineering · Understructure

The understructure — frame, beams, locking

F-01

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.

F-02

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.

F-03

Lubrication-free for life

No annual greasing. No maintenance contract. Sealed at install and stays quiet for the life of the platform.

F-04

Non-marring 5″ casters

Soft-rubber face; less rolling friction than competitor casters — no marks, no scuffs on a freshly refinished gym floor.
