Bench seats


Bucket Seats

The bucket seats are polypropylene injection molded to a thickness of 5mm and surface finished to give a smooth and shiny appearance. Some of Pakar seat models feature a double wall at the back rest. The seats are subject to Ultra Violet (UV) light protection treatment before being distributed for outdoor use. Pakar bucket seats can be fitted directly on podium steps, on risers, steel beams and pedestals using specially designed brackets.


Tip-Up Seats

Tip-up seats feature a base (seat pan) and a separate, ergonomically designed back rest. These self-supporting seats are made of UV stabilized polypropylene. Pakar Tip-Up Seats have the option of basic seat, padded seat and armrest option. Some of the seat models are fitted with springs which enable the seat to 'tip up' automatically, thus a spring-assisted tip-up seat. Some of the seat models however, are fitted with counterweights on the under side of the seat pan. These counterweights help to keep the seat in a tip-up position all the time, thus a gravity-assisted tip-up seat.


VIP Seats

Pakar VIP seats are upholstered with expanded foam surrounding a steel frame and covered with 100% non-tear, removable fabric. VIP seats are installed between steel armrests along supporting steel beams. The armrests are covered in integral self-extinguishing polyurethane and are fitted with springs that enable the seat to 'tip up' automatically, thus a spring-assisted VIP seat.
