The Chairtracks ® system is an innovative device that retracts a chair back to its original position after use . A fixed yet movable seating solution . Once leaving the chair , the internal retracting mechanism lets the chair automatically and constantly slide back to its basic position .
As a result , escape routes are free from chairs in case of evacuation . Perfectly aligned rows enhances the architectural vision and reduces the need for seating re-arrangements . The linear sliding system provides a relaxing and unique seating experience .
Through our CAD department we are able to provide assistance to architects in terms of layout , space planning , anti collision tests and specification of products .
We have installed the Chairtracks ® system in several international projects in the public and educational sector . In particular , we would like to mention the prestigious London Business School by Sheppard Robson Architects where we were able to combine aesthetics with security requirements . Our scope also included the design and production of metal containment boxes and the rebate to keep the system flush with the plywood flooring .
For inspection and maintenance purposes , the chair adaptor and the housing cover can be removed by clipmechanisms or magnets . As the chair adaptor is fixed by a bolt connection it is easily removable and the existing cover plate can optionally be replaced by a cover plate which meets DDA requirements .
