Stages

Don’t have enough room in your building for a full auditorium? Looking for a way to transform your gym, social hall or multipurpose room for a special event? A portable stage can turn virtually any empty room into an instant performance space. This is a great solution for institutions that host concerts, performances, guest speakers and other special events.

Our stages come in a variety of sizes and heights. They can be ordered in all-inclusive packages or as individual platforms. Individual stages can be connected via built-in devices to create larger stages and unique configurations. Some models offer both level-to-level and dual-height arrangement capabilities. Dual-height stages can be used creatively in conferences, plays and performances.

The ideal stage height depends on what purpose it is needed for. Lower models are good because they don’t require great leaps or steps when alighting or descending. Higher stages provide better visibility which is especially good for large rooms where people are seated farther away from the stage.

If you want maximum flexibility, you need an option that can be set at varying heights. Dual-height stages from Midwest Folding Products can be field-adjusted as needed. With this arrangement, you don’t have to decide what you will use the stage for before you order it, and can adapt your stage to fit a number of purposes and functions.

For maximum safety, you should make sure to order guardrails for the sides and back of your stage. If you want a high stage, you will also need to get steps so speakers and performers can easily ascend and descend the platform. Of course, the most convenient way to ensure that you have everything you need is to choose a preconfigured stage set which includes guardrails, two sets of steps and skirting.

Even when they are folded compactly, stages can be complicated to move from place to place. Without the assistance of special equipment, stage transport will undoubtedly be a multi-person job. Stage caddies and dollies are super convenient because they enable an individual person to move platforms independently. They also offer a great place to store stages when they are not in use.

Portable stages come with either carpeted or hardboard surfaces. Each material has its advantages and preferred uses. Carpeted stages are good for presentations, church services and concerts because they minimize noise from people moving around on stage during a speech or performance. Hardboard is a better choice for dance performances and some dramatic performances as well.

Hertz Furniture offers an excellent selection of portable stages. Our mobile stages come from reliable manufacturers including National Public Seating and Midwest Folding Products.
