Staging and Platforms - Black Cat Music Europe
“Because the Versalite risers provide
excellent stability, all of our show choirs can
stage full dance numbers without any worries
about safety. We’ve competed without Versalite at
other locations and our choir almost literally danced
the risers off of the stage!”

platforms, and much more. The lightweight aluminum decks

about any option to meet your changing needs. It’s the allin-one system that doesn’t compromise strength, durability, or
ease of setup. And the classic styling and clean, simple lines
make it appropriate for any venue.

VERSALITE STAGING SETS – PACKAGED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE
Wenger offers complete Versalite Staging Sets tailored to your needs. And as your needs change,
you can simply order new leg sets to accommodate new height requirements. Talk with your
Wenger representative about how we can help you put together a system that satisfies the vast
requirements of your entire facility – and all at an affordable price.
Versalite sets include two stairways with double handrails, stage skirting on 3 sides, back and side
guardrails, and storage carts for decks and rails – all the finishing touches needed for most
applications. See accessories on pages 142-143. Backdrop and frame are optional and can be
ordered separately.
“As a director, I prefer my groups rehearsing and
performing on risers because students can easily
see me and my baton without having to try to look
around each other. Also, I can see everyone’s face.
The sound also projects much better on risers. And
around our campus, the operations staff keeps figuring out more and more ways to use the Versalite.”

Music, Saint Leo University, Saint Leo, Florida

Trouper Staging
The simplest solutions are often exactly what you need.
Take Trouper staging, for example. It’s perfect for
straightforward setups that don’t need to be
reconfigured often. But when you do need to change,
Trouper staging’s fold-out design makes it easy to do.
The design is simple, but the engineering is definitely not.
Trouper staging is built with superior structural
integrity and the highest quality materials to ensure
reliable operation over a long life.
USAGE
Simple, solid, staging that sets up easy in many configurations
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
• Four standard deck sizes and elevations with optional dual-height
fold-out legs offer flexibility to reconfigure your staging system
• Each deck has six points of contact with the floor for added stability
• Six fixed- or dual-height fold-out legs with six contact points ensure
extremely quiet, no-rattle performance
• Load rating meets or exceeds building code requirements
ENDLESS STAGING

“The Trouper staging is very versatile – we’ve used
it for events of different sizes. We can make it as big
or small as we want, using only the sections we need.
It’s a real solid stage, with sturdy construction, and easy
to set up. When we’re finished, it stores away easily in a
small space. Our 12-platform storage cart only takes up
about eight square feet of storage space.”

Versalite Seated Risers
V E R S A L I T E S E AT E D R I S E R S

Go to pages 130-131 to see how Versalite can be configured into staging!
Versalite seated risers are the multi-sized decks and legs
that allow you the flexibility to create the seated risers that fit
your space and your musicians. Arrange and rearrange your
rehearsal room in a snap with Versalite seated risers. Our
unique unit-to-unit connectors lock and unlock the riser
decks in one easy motion. When they’re locked, they’re
incredibly stable. Versalite seated risers can be expanded,
condensed, and shaped to fit any space for any occasion.
Just change and reconfigure the various sized decks and
legs. Versalite seated risers also set up quickly — and safely
— with just a small crew and no tools. And they don’t reduce
the cubic volume of the space, which enhances acoustics.

Versalite truly goes up in a snap without
pins, tools, or separate frame assemblies.
Just grab the right length leg and secure it
in place with a few quick turns of the
geared compression mechanism. Plus,
telescoping and custom leg lengths give
you unprecedented flexibility.
Unit-to-unit connectors lock the decks
together in place in seconds with one
easy motion. And because the connectors
are integrated into every Versalite deck,
there are no loose parts.
Versalite is available in a variety of sizes,
and every deck is lightweight so two
people can handle an entire setup. They
also offer heavy-duty aluminum framing
and solid plywood construction.
Move & Store Carts make setup fast and easy.
Heavy-duty casters and a pushrail convert a
Versalite deck into a functional transportation
cart; see page 143 for cart dimensions.

are finished in Standard Black or Natural to
match riser finish. In addition to the great look,
these panels keep dust and litter from collecting

outdoors on uneven surfaces or even on a hill. Wenger’s durable
event staging is engineered to handle virtually any situation.
Wenger staging has been a huge timesaver for coordinators and

their events. Rental companies love the versatility, the durability,
the speed and professional look of Wenger stages. For help in
choosing the stage that’s right for your needs, call your Wenger

STRATA Event Staging
®
S T R ATA S TA G I N G
®
STRATA Event Staging is the perfect solution for creating
a flat surface over seating or other uneven surfaces. It’s
offered with a durable, non-slip, weather-resistant surface
and a unique system that sets up quickly. Leveled or laydown,
it can be used anywhere from a theatre to a flat parking lot to
a hillside — even over a pool. Easily installed by a small crew
in a fraction of the time of stick-built floors or other “flooring”
systems — saving you a small fortune in labor.
USAGE
The ideal choice whether you’re staging for an outdoor event or extending
an indoor stage
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
• Pre-attached substructure components make setup fast and intuitive
• Flexible design gives you the versatility to make adjustments to fit
your needs
• Use of beams rather than bridging supports frees up open space below
• Decks fit together to create an integrated surface that is seamless and
extremely quiet
CONSTRUCTION
• Can be installed as a leveled floor, a laydown floor or a staging system
• Individual decks can be easily removed to run electrical wiring
• Uses pins to eliminate nuts and bolts typical of other systems
• Self-storing diagonal bracing provides lateral stability for applications up
to 4' high (122 cm) — additional bracing is required above 4' (122 cm)
• Constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum
and powder coated steel for exceptional outdoor durability
• Variety of deck surface options. See below
• Simple deck-to-stage connections
• Optional leveling feet on all columns

MAIN BEAMS
DECKS
STRATA decks lock to the
substructure with a simple hex
wrench connection. Each deck is
isolated from other decks to
eliminate rubbing and potential
noise generation.
Main beams connect to your stage front
with a simple bracket to ensure a seamless
connection with the permanent stage.
DIAGONAL
BRACING
Braces are bolted to
main beams and cross
beams to eliminate loose
parts and speed setup.
Braces from each beam
attach to columns with
quick-release pins.
CROSS BEAMS
Cross beams attach to the
main beam with a quick
tube-and-socket
connection – and no
tools. This tremendous
flexibility ensures
an ideal fit even in
applications with a
difficult-to-match
wall radius.
COLUMNS
Columns connect to the
main beam with a
quick-release pin. This
smart, simple system
makes switching
lengths of columns – or
the height of your
entire pit filler – faster
and easier than ever.
Leveling feet on
all columns

“I’ve used Vision for
a dozen years – it’s a
terrific system that’s
flexible and extremely
user-friendly. One person
can handle any of the
components. And Vision
is very durable. Other
staging systems might last
up to four years if you’re
lucky, but Vision keeps on
going strong.
I can’t say enough good
things about it.”

Vision Event Platforms
®
The design of our Vision Event Platforms is so simple and so
strong, that it has truly set a new standard for major event
staging. Wenger has designed a column and truss concept that
gives you rock solid stability with 70% fewer ground contact
points to set up. That not only means setup is much faster, but
the underside can be used as a large, open storage space for
crates, truck packs, cable runs — just about anything you need to
store. The three components — columns, trusses and decks — are
all light enough for one person to handle. And once Vision is set
up, the aircraft-grade aluminum stage is ready to stand up to the
pounding of an action-filled event.
