Why Stage Platforms Matter in Live Production

Stage platforms do more than elevate performers—they ensure:

• Safety for performers and crew.

• Visual prominence in open or large-scale venues.

• Load-bearing support for sound, lighting, and video gear.

• Efficient layout changes during multi-scene shows.

• Accessibility with ramps, steps, and lifts.

Core Engineering and Modular Design

Materials and Surface Options

Shinestage stage platforms use aerospace-grade aluminum alloy 6061-T6 for the frame, ensuring lightweight strength. Deck surfaces are available in:

• Anti-slip hexagonal plywood (marine-grade, weather-resistant).

• Carpeted finishes for indoor installations.

• Aluminum tread plates for heavy-duty or industrial aesthetics.

Adjustable Legs and Structure

• Height options: 0.4m–2m, customizable per project.

• Leg types: Telescopic or fixed, equipped with leveling feet.

• Connection system: Quick-lock clamps and modular bolts ensure fast assembly and dismantling.

Each platform module is typically 1.22m x 1.22m (4ft x 4ft) or 2m x 1m, allowing scalable configurations.

Key Features of Shinestage Stage Platforms

• High Load Capacity: Up to 750kg/m², suitable for heavy equipment and large groups of performers.

• Weatherproof Construction: Ideal for outdoor use under rain, snow, or sun.

• Silent Underfoot: Special dampening to reduce creaks or vibrations, ideal for theatrical use.

• Custom Shape Options: Semi-circles, triangles, and hexagons for unique layouts.

• Quick Setup: One stage platform module takes 2–3 minutes to assemble.

Integrated Accessories and Add-ons

Shinestage platforms integrate seamlessly with:

• Stair units, ramps, and guardrails.

• Skirting panels for aesthetic enhancement.
