Portable Stage Hire Auckland

All Rock Factory stages are portable.  

Our most portable stage is our new trailer stage, the Stageline SL75.

The SL75 is a trailer that folds out into a covered stage.  We tow the portable stage to the event location, then have a quick and easy set-up.  A great option for mobile stage hire in Auckland.

Some of our stages are assembled from smaller platforms, meaning they can be set up indoors or outdoors.

Stage Hire Auckland: Types of Stages for Hire

Our stages are incredibly versatile and customisable.  We use stage decks made from durable materials. The decks can be used for both indoor and outdoor events. The stage pieces can be arranged in many different configurations, to create stages of all shapes and sizes. 

If you want to hire a stage for an outdoor event, we have a range of outdoor covered stages we can build.

We can install drapes or curtain trimming around the stage, which can be flat or pleated, and we provide steps as necessary. 

Our stages are robust. We cross-brace our stages for dancing and cultural groups. We build excellent stages for bands as well.

The Rock Factory can provide small, medium, and large rectangular or square stages, as well as platforms, podiums or risers.  We can provide catwalks of any configuration, including a ‘T’ or ‘I’ shape.

Stage Deck Sizes

The stages are made up of individual pieces call Stage Decks. 

Our most popular stage decks are Prolyte stage decks. Prolyte stage decks are available in the following sizes:

  • 2x1m
  • 1x1m
  • 2×0.5m

 

2x1m decks can be used to build stages of any size up to 100 sqm; this is the temporary structure size limit that does not require a building consent

1 x 1m pieces are popular for camera platforms;

2 x 0.5m pieces are popular as DJ Tables!

We also have some older stage deck pieces with sizes of;

  • 1.8 x 1.2m
  • 2.4 x 1.2m
  • 1.2 x 1.2m

 

However these alternate sizes are limited. The 2×1 metre pieces are much easier to move, deploy and setup. Additionally, it is easier to work out the stage size and costing with whole numbers.

Stage Height

The length of the stage legs used determines the stage height. We have the following stage leg lengths available;

  • 20cm | 200mm
  • 40cm | 400mm
  • 70cm | 700mm
  • 80cm | 800mm
  • 90cm | 900mm
  • 1m
  • 1.1m
  • 1.2m

 

Please note that stages above 90cms will have additional health and safety requirements such as handrails.

We can build custom steps and ramps for any stage we have built and we also have been able to extend existing stages in halls and venues if you are needing extra space for your dance recital, band gig, catwalks, glory boxes etc – Just ask us!
