Lightweight portable staging


Portable staging reinvented. RATstands started with a clean sheet of paper to develop a product which is quicker to assemble and more flexible in use than any other staging system.
The large section aluminium frame gives enormous strength with very low weight. Modules up to 2m x 1m are capable of supporting a load of 7.5 kN/m2. Modules can be made up to a maximum of 8’ x 4’. Handrails and all other accessories can be fitted in seconds anywhere around the periphery of the stage.
The top surface is made of high quality poplar or birch plywood. Other finishes are available to order.

Linking modules

The patented Speedlock system enables adjacent platform modules to be locked together simply by turning a key inserted into the top of the platform.

When not in use, each Speedlock is retracted within the depth of the T slot which runs round the edge of each module. So there are no protuberances to snag, and the T slot remains available for the attachment of other accessories.

In operation, the Speedlock extends to engage the adjacent module. It then levels the modules and pulls them together, in one continuous movement.

Because the Speedlock engages in the T slot of the adjacent module, rather than in a specifically positioned receptacle, adjacent platforms do not have to be aligned with one another.

 

Legs

The corner brackets accept 50mm square or 48.3m round legs. The legs are rigidly locked in position using the an integral quick action lever.

 

Storage and moving

Any platform module can be converted to a trolley by attaching castors instead of legs.
