Thisreduces wear and tear on the unit, giving smooth, trouble free operation and extending the life-expectancy of the system.
A drive link wound up around the drum unit is connected to the first row of the retractable seating. By rotating the drum with a motor and moving the drive link in and out horizontally, the extending or retracting operation is performed. As there is no impact from the floor, travel is in a straight line and even possible over ice. Recommended number of levels: 10 or more

Self-storing side rails
This design considers safety all the way down to people’s feet. The handrails feature a flat and streamlined finish that blends seamlessly with the unit.
Removable side rails
When the seating is retracted, the removable side rails along the last few rows are removed. If someone forgets to remove the side rails, and the retracting operation is performed with them still attached, the retraction is automatically paused.
Hinged steps
The steps are rotated and stowed on the first row platform. As the steps do not move when people step on them, they can be walked over safely.
Fixed steps
Fixed steps are installed along the front-to-back aisles to make it easy for people to walk to their seats, and are set to half the depth of each level. The steps help to maintain a constant walking rhythm.
Sensor-equipped front panel
If sensors on the front panel detect an obstacle that would impede the advance of the unit, the extending operation is paused to prevent accident or breakage.
