Portable Staging
The centre has two types of portable staging.
The metal frame staging is 525 mm high that supports a 2400mm x 1200mm sheet of ply. There are 8 of these. The frames are reasonably heavy and require at least two people on each one to move them. The total floor area covered is 23 M2
There are 36 2400mm x 1200mm Stronglite staging units that can be used in a variety of configurations. The entire 36 are available to cover the bleachers in the Stadium forming a mezzanine floor over the bleachers. The units are also capable of providing a portable stage on a level floor or providing rostra. The units require two people to handle. The equipment includes trolleys and tools to facilitate the erection, dismantling and storage of these units.
