Bleacher System Types                                                                                             

"Non-Elevated Bleachers" is a term used to  describe a type of bleacher that when seated on the first row, your feet are at ground level.  

  "Elevated Bleachers" 

is a term used to describe a type of bleacher that when seated on the first row, your feet are at the height of the  elevated front  walkway.  Several elevation heights are available. These elevations require entry stairs and front guardrail. A handicap ramp may also be required with ADA seating.

"Low-Rise Bleachers" have a first seat height under  12" and  a  6" rise per row. They have a 11½" anodized  aluminum seat plank as opposed to the standard 9½" seat plank.   This system is designed to  meet most building codes without an aisle or rear guardrail.  This type system provides more bleacher seats at affordable prices. These systems are available up-to 4 rows without a guardrail system. A 5 row Low-Rise is available with the same features and includes a unique vertical picket guardrail that wraps around the ends of the top seat.

"Tip N' Roll Bleachers" have the ability to be tipped up onto their attached caster wheels and rolled away for easy storage. They feature an extension arm for easy tipping, 5" non-marring caster wheels (rear wheels have a brake for securing movement when stored), rubber foot pads to prevent marring of indoor flooring and secure movement when in use and cross bracing on all understructure frame bays. A NRS exclusive outrigger is standard on all 4 row  Tip and Roll bleachers for added stability when in an upright position. Tip N' Roll bleaches are also available in a Low-Rise system.

"Transportable Bleachers" can be moved  from one area of the grounds to the next (5 m.p.h. max). This versatile system, available with 5 rows or 10 rows, is the perfect solution for adding seating where permanent year round bleacher seating is not required. Sharing Transportable Bleachers is an affordable multi-area solution. The Transportable Bleacher are available with an extra heavy aluminum understructure or a galvanized steel understructure. There is additional cross- bracing and added galvanized steel horizontal lifting braces on the front and rear of the understructure for added stability when when moving the system. Transportable Bleachers require a Transport Kit (sold separately) that includes a jack for lifting the system to insert the wheel assembly, the wheel assembly with attached axle, tongue assembly and removable tongue assembly brackets to secure the tongue assembly. A heavy duty Transport Kit (with built-in hydraulic jack and larger 14" wheels) is required for all 10 row and elevated systems.
