OWATONNA, MN — Supported by more than 50 years of staging innovation, Wenger Corporation’s new StageTek staging offers numerous advantages.
Handling is improved with fast, intuitive and instruction-free setup that maximizes labor efficiency. StageTek staging assembles quickly without tools, folding frames or other cumbersome understructure. The innovative decks are 20 percent lighter than comparably sized Wenger Versalite decks and feature integrated hand grips that require 40 percent less grip strength to handle. Standard deck sizes include 3’x3’, 3’x6’, 3’x8’, 4’x4’, 4’x6’ and 4’x8’; (or in metric: 0.9m x 0.9m, 0.9m x 1.8m, 0.9m x 2.4m, 1.2m x 1.2m, 1.2m x 1.8m and 1.2m x 2.4m). Custom deck sizes are also available. Because StageTek legs store compactly inside the decks, the storage footprint is up to 50 percent less than conventional staging and carts.
Enhanced flexibility comes from StageTek staging’s round plug-and-play legs – both fixed-height and adjustable – that reduce assembly time by 20 percent compared to Z-frame systems. For creative options, StageTek staging provides versatility for all events, from complex multilevel stages for concerts to simple platforms for ceremonies and other activities. A variety of deck surface options are available.
Wenger’s engineering advances ensure that StageTek staging can safely support heavier loads while satisfying three critical load requirements: uniform, point and dynamic. The leg-and-deck design of StageTek staging provides 70 percent more open storage space underneath than with typical Z-frame systems. StageTek staging features field-repairable components and a 10-year warranty; patents are pending.
In conjunction with the new products, Wenger is hosting a video contest. Wenger is looking for the most creative video illustrating “Here’s what we would do on a Wenger StageTek stage.” The winner will receive $10,000 worth of StageTek staging and accessories. Details can be found on Wenger’s website or Facebook page; the entry deadline is March 29, 2013.
