Glide Retractable Seating Systems | Pacific Seating

Engineered retractable structure with inclusive design

The Glide structure is Pacific Seating’s retractable seating series, designed for indoor venues where flexibility, safety, efficiency, and accessibility are essential. Engineered for reliable performance, Glide enables seating to be deployed or stored with ease, maximising space utilisation while upholding structural integrity and user safety

Designed for flexibility and accessibility

The Glide Structure supports a range of seating options, including Cook Seats, SBS seating or client-specified seats. Strong steelwork, proven componentry and non-marking wheels allow Glide systems to operate smoothly across common indoor floor finishes, including timber and polyurethane surfaces.

All Glide systems are designed with a focus on safety, durability and ease of maintenance, and are developed to meet relevant structural, accessibility and fire performance requirements.

Seating for every spectator

A key feature of the Glide Structure is Variable Row 1 (VR1), which is designed to maximise comfort and inclusion for wheelchair users and spectators with reduced mobility. VR1 allows wheelchair users and companions to be positioned within the audience, supporting equal viewing and compliant, accessible seating layouts.
