VerTech 20m stage system
20m VerTechTM stage system
The VerTech 20m system saw its first outing at the legendary Stone Roses concert on Spike Island in the River Mersey in 1990. Used across the world in over 30 countries since, it is now the first choice of many promoters and event organisers.
The stage has been modified several times over recent years to give impeccable weather protection, extensive rigging capacity (30 tons to 60 tons depending on roof configuration) and unrivalled layout flexibility. The introduction of additional components now allows greater choice of position and height for substantial line array systems.
Internal height from the stage floor to the roof apex is 11m (36’).
What audience size is this stage suitable for?
As a guideline, we recommend that this stage is suitable for audiences of between 15,000 – 50,000 people.
How long does it take to build?
The build / de-rig time for the 20m VerTech stage is from as little as 3 x 12 hour shifts to build and 2 x 12 hour shifts to de-rig. (subject to final specification and site access).
