Quality & safety
Tested safety 750 kg/m² load capacity, tested with a 1.7 safety factor
People stand on your stage, and you are liable for it. That is why our platforms are designed throughout for a load capacity of 750 kg/m² to DIN 4112 and tested with a 1.7 safety factor. Many of our products are also checked regularly by TÜV Rheinland.
- 750 kg/m² to DIN 4112
- Tested with a 1.7 safety factor
- Railings for horizontal loads up to 200 kg
- Regular testing by TÜV Rheinland
What is at stake
Your responsibility Whoever runs the hall is liable for the stage
You carry the responsibility
Venue regulations, building regulations and the standards for temporary structures apply to the stage and seating in your venue.
The inspector wants evidence
Inspection book, structural calculations, load values: without documents, the acceptance becomes a problem.
The industry is rough
Platforms are built and taken down, carried and stacked every week. Years later they must still carry as they did on the first day.
That is why our platforms come not only with test values, but also with manuals, inspection books for complete systems and, on request, structural calculations.

Questions about testing and approval
Will I get an inspection book for my stage?
Complete systems come with TÜV inspection books, for example stages over 75 m², indoor and outdoor grandstands and roofs over 5 m high. For set-ups outside the manual we supply structural calculations, a construction approval or an inspection book for temporary structures.
Which regulations do I have to observe?
That depends on your country and the use of the room – typically the rules for public assembly venues, school buildings, building regulations and the standards for temporary structures. Our manuals point to the German rules. They do not replace a legal check for your individual case.
Do all platforms carry 750 kg/m²?
Our platforms are designed throughout for 750 kg/m² to DIN 4112. Individual systems such as the Push'n Pull telescopic grandstand have their own values, stated in the relevant data sheet.
Can I use parts from other manufacturers?
For the certification: only original, certified BÜTEC parts with the logo. The spare parts lists help you order the right part.
