|
Q.
How big a truck do I need to tow the Marshall Austin mobile stage?A. The Marshall Austin mobile stage is designed to be towed with a sport-utility vehicle or a half-ton pickup. The GVW of the mobile stage is 4,240 lbs.
Q.
How many people does it take to set up the stage? How long does it take?A. The Marshall Austin mobile stage can be set up by one person in about an hour.
Q.
How do I raise the roof?A. The roof folds manually and is raised manually via a single crank. The roof lift mechanism is manual and does not require outside or onboard power
to be deployed. The roof lift mechanism allows the roof to rise to a ten-degree slope front to back, to assist in shedding water and to present a
pleasing performance area.
Q.
Does the roof cover the entire stage floor and the stage lights?A. Yes. The roof covers the entire main floor plus an additional one-foot front and one-foot rear. This extra roof coverage allows all lighting to be covered by the roof.
Q.
Can I set up the stage on uneven terrain?A. Yes. Every Marshall Austin mobile stage is outfitted with 10 independently adjustable leveling jacks to accommodate uneven terrain. Four level indicators are provided on all mobile stages.
Q.
What is the stage floor made of?A. The Marshall Austin mobile stage floor is constructed from Simpson Skid Guard, a three-quarter inch marine grade plywood, with weather and chemical resistant fiberglass clad decking specifically designed for stage flooring. The flooring has a waffle-weave, textured overlay face for skid resistance. It meets or exceeds US Product Standard PS 1-83 and bears the exterior grade-trademark of the American Plywood Association Floor capacity at 105lbs/ft.
The surface is exceptionally slip resistant when wet. The color is neutral flat black, ideal for lighting the performers, not the stage. The floor perimeter is constructed of an integrated aluminum-mounting track designed to accommodate stairs, ramp, skirting and stage extensions.
Q.
How high is the stage floor from the ground?A. When the Marshall Austin mobile stage is supported by its tires, the floor is about
four feet off the ground. The mobile stage can also be raised with its leveling jacks
approximately five feet off the ground.
Q.
Does the Marshall Austin mobile stage have a wind rating?A. Yes. It has a wind rating of 50-60 mph.
Q.
Can I make the stage bigger?A. Yes. By adding our 4 ft. x 4 ft. stage extensions, you can create an enlarged performance area anywhere along the perimeter of the stage. These lightweight extensions are constructed of the same material as the stage floor and attach directly to the stage frame increasing stability. For example, a 32 ft x 24 ft. performance area can be achieved by adding stage extensions completely around the stage.
