INTRODUCTION
Trouper platform units are available in four sizes (4' x 8', 3' x 8', 4' x 6', and 3' x 6') and in four fixed
elevations (8", 16", 24", and 32"), as well as two dual-height options (16/24" and 24/32"). Platform
systems can be constructed with units that are all the same height (standard stage), or with units at
different heights (risers, or multi-level stage).
Do not set up a multilevel stage using Trouper units unless adequate special clamping is provided to
secure the levels together. See “Connecting Riser Sections” on page 14.
For efficient moving and storing of the platform units, several sizes of Wenger move-and-store carts are
available. See “Loading the Storage Carts” on page 21 for more information.
Easily attached 39" wide stairway units with double handrails are available in a 2-step version
(for 16" or 24" stage heights) and a 3-step version (for 24" or 32" stage heights).
Guard rail assemblies should be used with all stage elevations, and are available in 3', 4', 6' and 8'
lengths. The top rail on all guard rails is located 42" above the platform surface. The rail assemblies
include a chair stop rail.
To give the stage or risers a more formal, finished look, the following accessories are also
available from Wenger:
• drapery skirting
• drapery backdrops
• front and side closure panels.
UNPACKING OR SETTING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Remove all parts from their shipping cartons (refer to the packing list enclosed with the shipment).
Save the packaging materials at least until the stage system has been set up the first time.
2. Sort all platform units and accessories by size, leg length, etc.
3. Assemble all carts and stairways that are shipped disassembled - using the instructions supplied
with them.
4. If the stage or risers will be stored before being set up, see “Loading the Storage Carts” on page 21
and “Disassembling the Platform System” on page 20.
If the platform units will be set up immediately, see “Setting Up Individual Platform Units” on page 6.
IMPORTANT: Read this entire manual before starting to set up a platform system.
