I’ve been looking at different bleacher systems lately, and I noticed that some manufacturers don’t include limit switches that automatically stop the bleachers when they’re fully extended or retracted. Instead, they just rely on the operator to release the pendant button at the right time.

That got me wondering — shouldn’t limit switches be a standard safety feature on any powered telescopic bleacher system? I mean, they seem important for user safety, equipment protection, and overall reliability.

What do others think? Are they necessary, or just an optional add-on that drives up cost?

Thanks.

Regards,

Jessica
