whitehousejamie Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi All, Looking to buy a modular staging system to add to hire stock. Been looking at the Road Rocking system, as distributed by Ohm and Batmink, but ideally looking for something a bit cheaper. Any suggestions of a good system at a good price? Regards, Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 What have other people got who are near you? Inevitably there will be times you need more than you have, and might well want to subhire more in. There might also be useful crosshire work that you can gain some more cash from.

whitehousejamie Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks for the reply. I'm not aware of any local companies that stock a similar system, it's usually the big heavy systems. Not really concerned about needing to hire additional sections, as I will simply buy more as I need it. Thanks, Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi Jamie, not sure if its what you are looking for but check out http://www.revostage.co.uk/ I have a very small amount of it (just use it as a drum riser) and can't fault it at all. Not sure on your budget or requirements but it must be worth a look. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 A survey of other peoples kit is VERY important. If you go for a system and buy what you need for the first jobs, the big snag, as people have said, is when it isn't quite enough - and you just need a few bits more - it isn't economic to buy another 4 grands worth of kit for one job, when you could just hire it in, and then add the cost to your own invoice. I got it wrong - bought metric deck - damn good stuff - but everyone within 50 miles of me has 8ft x 4ft deck made by the same people. Very annoying. Unless you are overstocking, then it's just a bit silly to be a 'pioneer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roderick Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Looking to buy a modular staging system to add to hire stock. I would be helpful if you could be a bit more specific about the use.Are you looking for a drum riser or a 40' x 60' concert stage?Fixed height or adjustable?Single speaker behind a lectern or a car on stage?

StevieR Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 We went for the Prolyte StageDEX system. Lightweight, strong, flexible, lots of different accessories and two of the other companies up here have it. May not satisfy your cheapness-factor, though...

Tomo Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Try LiteDeck from Litestructures in YorkshireLitedeck is many things, but cheap isn't really one of them! But it's definately worth the price, if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 If you are lookjg at Prolyte then you might also consider topdeck which is very similar but manufactured in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
