Staging Systems

 

 

Stage Support Services / LCM Group utilise two staging systems.

Firstly "Steel Deck" stage units;

Available in various sizes, and constructed in a modular fashion, steel deck has become "THE" stage manufacture the world over - often immitated, rarely beaten.

Generally utilized as 8x4 stage units (although available in a wide variety of rectangular, circular and triangular stage pieces) this system quickly and simply builds up into as large or small stage as you require.

 

  We use exclusively Steel Deck staging units. There are currently products on the market which claim to do the same, or better than the Steel Deck products..... but with a loading capacity of over 2.2 tonnes on four legs, or 3 tonnes on six legs - there are none that are as strong!  

 

The second staging system we use is the Layher "All round" system. This system is very good at producing multi - layer structures, such as Front of house towers, PA wings or structured tunnels. It is also particularly good at producing odd shapes on ground that is less than flat. We have successfully utilized the Layher All round system to produce such diverse structures as a marquee and pier in the middle of a lake and as a platform for a stage in the middle of a sandy beach - complete with all the inherent fixing issues that this entails.
 

By using only the best that the industry has to offer, we are confident that there is no stage or tempory structure that we cannot produce quickly, safely and expediently.

All of our crew are fully trained in the use of our systems, allowing you to book us and then relax and let us exceed your expectations.

 

Steel Deck Stage System

 

 

Steeldeck® Platforms are the basic building blocks of the theatre and entertainment industries.

They have been copied and imitated over the years - and some even look very similar... but NONE match genuine STEELDECK in quality and performance. Our Steeldeck® platforms are mainly the work-horse of the range -the 'Arena' deck - with its cruciform internal framing spreading the maximum 2.2 tonnes capacity through three longitudinal members giving it all the necessary strength, to an extraordinary 7.5kN/m2.

  The other main type of Steeldeck® Platform is the 'Rentals' type. These decks are '6-leggers' - with an extra pair of leg sockets in the centre, and they have 'shrouded' corners, which protect the corner of the plywood. When used with 4 legs, they are rated to 7.5kN/m2, but when used with 6 legs, their capacity can increase to a staggering 10kN/m2... more than enough.  

 

 

Our stock levels have continually increased over the years, we now carry in stock and available to hire high levels of both the standard sizes of Steel Deck stage platforms and the more esoteric circular and triangular stage platforms, ensuring that we have the ability to create exactly the stage platform you require;

Outdoor stages, indoor stages, conference platforms, exhibitions, swimming pool fill in etc - whatever your requirement, we have the stock and the expertise to fullfill your every desire.

 

 

 

Layher Allround Scaff Systems

 

 

Event Systems Stages and podiums

From concerts and shows to sporting events, the Layher Event Systems of stages, platforms and seating is purpose-designed to meet highly demanding application requirements. Stairways, designed to provide safe access and egress from a site, ensure that the full range of temporary installation needs can be fulfilled by the Event Systems range.

Centred on the original Layher Allround® Scaffolding - which gains significantly from the proven and highly versatile rosette connection system - the range of stands, stages and platforms can accommodate uneven and difficult ground conditions. Event stages, platforms and podiums as well as spectator access systems and seating modules can all be incorporated into a design as required.

  Virtually limitless options exist both to extend laterally and also to accommodate a variety of roof and support systems. High load-bearing capacity up to 7.5 kN/m2 combines with rapid assembly and dismantling which can clearly be key issues in the event management industry. With entire structures able to be broken down into palletised units, simple transportation is also assured.  

 

A vast range of options is also opened up by 'universal parts' which include, for example, the widest choice of 450mm and 750mm steel and alloy beams, tri-beams for lighting, rigging and gantry struts, couplers, flat roof edge protection and advanced guard rails. Site and public access stairtowers can be specified to complement the staging and seating range. Up to eight different options are available which can offer either 1.5 or 2 metre lift heights in a variety of widths to suit a wide range of internal and external site requirements.

 

 

 

Grandstands and seating

Economical, versatile and comfortable - whether located outdoors or indoors, the range of temporary seating options always meets these vital criteria. Designed to work in conjunction with Layher stages, platforms and access stairways, the full range of temporary seat installations needs can be met with proven equipment.

 

Grandstand platforms can be built with or without seats allowing either free-standing or fitted options to be specified. Variants such as benches - which provide for maximum capacity - and bucket or folding seats can also be selected with clip mechanisms used extensively for rapid, safe assembly. The Event System transom support ensures that each 2.75 metre bay has a 7.5 kNm² load bearing capacity.

The Layher temporary seating range means there are virtually no restrictions on comfort, dimensions or location possibilities with a vast number of temporary and semi-permanent, re-usable seating projects completed worldwide as testimony.
