Heavy-Duty, 1,000 lb Capacity for High-Traffic Rentals
The Hercules Resin Folding Chair is Beyond Tent's highest-capacity folding chair, built from UV-stabilized polypropylene resin that resists fading and holds its color from season to season, indoors or out. The frame and shell are molded as a single, consistent color — there's no paint or coating to chip, scratch, or touch up after years of rental use. A removable, waterproof vinyl seat cushion with CAL 117 fire-retardant foam adds comfort and can be replaced on its own if it's ever damaged, extending the usable life of the chair well beyond a standard plastic or steel-frame model.
Rated for 1,000 lbs — noticeably higher than Beyond Tent's 650 lb Hercules Plastic and Fan Back chairs, and its 330 lb Charcoal Frame chair — this is the model to reach for when durability and weight rating matter most: banquet halls, catering companies, and rental fleets running chairs through hundreds of events a year. It's lightweight for its capacity, stacks easily for storage, and folds down to 17.5"W x 2.25"D x 35"H. Floor protector caps guard your venue's flooring, and an anti-static design helps prevent unwanted static discharge. Available in Black, White, and Red Mahogany. Orders ship LTL freight; because rates vary by destination and order size, contact us for a shipping quote. A 10-chair minimum applies — need fewer, or want to try one first? Request a sample.
