Product Overview

This complete 26-piece portable staging package from Gopak gives you everything you need to create a stunning, sturdy, and  safe platform in minutes.

Expert Review and  Insights

Gopak has a rock-solid reputation in the world of functional furniture, and  this modular staging system is a perfect example of why. It’s not just about the robust build; it’s the sheer intelligence of the design that stands out. The concertina-style folding base is what makes it so fast to deploy, turning what is often a two-person job into a simple solo task.

  • Practical Genius: The speed of assembly is genuinely impressive for a commercial-grade system.
  • Requires Space: While it stores small, you need a large, clear area for initial setup.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The York Grand Assembly Rooms in York needed to replace their ancient, heavyweight staging, which required three staff members and  nearly an hour to assemble for their regular literary events and  functions. They needed a faster, more flexible solution.

"We were constantly held back by the sheer effort of setting up our old stage. The Gopak CE875 stage has been a revelation. Our events manager can now put it up alone in about 15 minutes, which gives us so much more flexibility for back-to-back bookings."

Robert Finch – Operations Director

The venue has reduced its event changeover time by 70%, allowing them to host an additional matinee event every weekend.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always begin on a completely flat and  level surface to ensure stability.
  • Expand the aluminium base frame to its full size before attempting to place any deck panels.
  • For an easier build, lay out the deck panels on the floor in your desired U-shape first.
  • Double-check that every deck panel has securely locked onto the base frame before allowing anyone on the stage.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean deck surfaces with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent; avoid soaking the carpet.
  • Before each use, give the locking mechanisms and  frame joints a quick visual check for wear.
  • Store all 26 components in a dry, secure area to protect them from moisture and  damage.
  • To prevent scratches and  damage, always lift components to move them rather than dragging them across the floor.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Staging

Not sure if this is the perfect fit for your venue? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a staging system.

Consider Your Headroom

Measure your ceiling height carefully. Remember to factor in the height of the people on stage, plus any lighting rigs or projectors you plan to use above it.

Think About the Performance

The U-shape of this Gopak CE875 stage is fantastic for panel shows or choirs, creating a more intimate and  engaging atmosphere than a standard rectangular stage.

Plan Your Storage Space

This system folds down to an impressively small size, but you'll still need a dedicated, dry cupboard or room to keep all 26 pieces safe, clean, and  together.

Value True Flexibility

A modular portable staging system is a versatile asset. Think about whether you'll need different layouts for different events – this kit can be reconfigured easily.

Don't Skimp on Safety

Load capacity is non-negotiable. This model's 1000kg/m² rating and  TUV certification offer complete peace of mind, even for high-energy performances or heavy displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can one person really assemble it all?

A: Yes, absolutely. The lightweight aluminium base and  individual panels are specifically designed for a single person to handle, position, and  assemble without any tools.

Q: What is the surface of the stage deck like?

A: The decks are finished with a hard-wearing, non-slip anthracite grey carpet. It's smart, durable, and  provides excellent grip for performers.

Q: How do the different pieces connect?

A: The deck panels have a simple slot-and-lock system that secures them firmly onto the expanded base frame. It's a quick, tool-free connection.

Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?

A: It is primarily designed for indoor use. If used temporarily outdoors, it must be on firm, completely level ground and  should not be left out in the rain or overnight.

Q: Just how compact is it for storage?

A: The expanding base frame folds to less than 2% of its open size. The deck panels stack flat, making the entire kit remarkably space-efficient to store.

Q: What does TUV certification actually mean?

A: It means the staging has been independently and  rigorously tested by TUV, a globally recognised authority, to meet strict European standards for safety, quality, and  structural integrity.

Q: Can I create different shapes other than a 'U'?

A: Of course. While sold as a U-shaped package, the modular components allow you to create straight runways, square platforms, or other configurations to suit your event.

Q: How heavy is the whole package?

A: The total weight for all 26 pieces is approximately 160kg, but the individual components are lightweight and  manageable.

What Customers Are Saying

"An absolutely brilliant piece of kit. We use it for our annual school concerts and  it's never let us down. Stores away neatly in our PE cupboard too which is a massive bonus."

Susan Davies – Head Teacher, Birmingham

"A fantastic portable staging package. Looks incredibly professional and  is really sturdy. Took one practice run to get the hang of it, but now it's a breeze to put up and  take down."

Chris Peterson – Events Manager, Glasgow Hotel

"The best investment we've made for our village hall. The flexibility of the modular stage set up is its finest feature; we can make a catwalk or a square stage easily."

Maria Evans – Community Hall Trustee, Aberystwyth

How Gopak's 'Concertina' Base Makes Setup a One-Person Job

Ever wondered how such a large stage can be assembled so quickly? The secret is in the unique folding aluminium base. Forget fiddly nuts and  bolts; this frame works just like a concertina or an accordion. It starts as a compact, flat-packed bundle but simply pulls open to expand into a full-size, rigid, and  incredibly strong support frame in seconds. Once the frame is open, the lightweight deck panels just drop and  lock securely into place on top. This clever, tool-free design is what eliminates the need for a whole team and  a toolbox, turning stage construction from a major project into a quick and  simple task.
