Lightweight Staging

Our riser-type mobile staging systems are available in fixed heights of 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm and 100cm to suit all settings and requirements. These stage risers are interchangeable with the stage deck platforms so a selection of heights can be achieved with the same decks.

For example, a solo performer may have four stage platforms, creating a nice 4m x 4m performance area, and have 20cm risers and 40cm risers for them, allowing the stage height to be changed easily to suit different locations and events.

Lightweight staging is quick and easy to assemble. Each stage panel top surface connects with a stage riser leg unit of the desired height, and these lock together for stability.

When using more than one stage deck, the use of deck levellers provides a flat performance surface, removing any potential trip hazards. These fit into the stage decks accessory side slots and are adjusted using an Allen key.

Once the decks are assembled, deck-to-deck locking clamps are used between the deck ends to lock the units together. This stops any unwanted horizontal movement of the individual stage decks when grouped together.

Safety handrails are connected using their attached thumbwheel clamps and an Allen key bolt to ensure they stay in position. In fact, the Allen key is the only tool required to build any of our mobile stage systems, making them as simple as can be.

The cost of modular stage sets depends on the size and height of the platforms needed. The price will also vary if popular extras are needed, such as handrails, steps and stage skirts. We offer portable stage for sale in a wide selection of ready-to-go packages which lets you see the cost of most systems at a glance.

With our lightweight riser staging, you can create any size of stage platform to suit your needs. The bolt-together design is self-supporting per deck, so the overall system size is anything you need it to be.

We offer 1x1m and 2x1m lightweight stage platforms, and these can be easily clamped together to make your desired size or shape, though they are only available in a square or rectangular format. For specialist shapes such as circles, you would need to look at our heavy-duty staging systems.

Our lightweight staging has an extremely sturdy design and is made of high-quality aluminium, so it can take an impressive weight load. A Spider 1x1m stage platform, for example, has a load-bearing capability of 500kg/m2. They also have the benefit of being portable and lightweight, weighing only 12kg. With enough stage decks joined together, they are more than capable of supporting the weight of a vehicle or groups of people.

Traditional stages in schools and churches, for example, were always built-in and made from wood, usually located in a hall. This simply doesn't fit with modern building design, where space is at a premium and rooms need to accommodate a variety of functions.

Portable stage systems are designed to offer a professional stage area for live performances and events, which can be easily put together and dismantled after an event for transport or storage.

These lightweight portable stage decks are usually an aluminium framework with tough plywood tops and easy-to-fit pole legs or riser base systems. They are extremely simple to use and require no specialist tools or experience, making them ideal for many different situations.

When it comes to a choice between portable and permanent staging, the benefits of a mobile staging system are huge, allowing use for outdoor events, and for the stage to be set up in different ends of a hall to best suit that particular performance and audience size.

Though the term stage riser is used as a general term for stage platforms by many suppliers, this is incorrect. A stage riser is specifically the type of collapsible leg system found on our lightweight Deck750 portable stage.

These stage risers come in heights of 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm, and are designed to fit the matching 1m x 1m stage platform.

Unlike the scaffold pole type fixed height legs that come with the heavier-duty stage systems, stage risers use an umbrella-type folding mechanism, which allows them to collapse down for easy transport. They unfold to form a rigid, multi-legged base that many users prefer for its compact nature and lower cost.

The 1m x 1m stage platforms offer the convenience of being able to fit in most cars easily, while the folding leg risers are extremely compact and lightweight. The stage riser system allows a fairly large stage package to be transported and set up with ease.

Well, yes, obviously building a stage from scratch is an option, though this was only really ever done in older schools and theatres, and were usually built completely from wood as a permanent installation.

For portable stage systems, it works out far more cost-effective to use a product such as our PD Deck750 platforms, and will also ensure that your stage build meets all the necessary safety requirements for weight loading and fire regulations.

These portable stage systems are purposely designed to be put together and taken apart thousands of times with tough extruded aluminium frames and a range of easy-to-use clamp fixings to make each build a quick and painless experience.

The benefits of professional mobile staging over any type of DIY build or permanent stage installation are huge, saving you money, time, and providing a level of durability and flexibility that should make it your first choice.
