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.” Jamie West, Event Manager, Ultimate Events, Bloomington, Minnesota Ultimate Events, Minneapolis, Minnesota 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.
