One system

One platform as the base Why accessories fit across all families

What began in 1979 with the plug-in leg platform now carries almost every BÜTEC system: stages, grandstands, terraces, camera platforms and conductor's podiums are configurations of the same 2 × 1 m aluminium platform. Scissor, Servo, motor, rolling and telescopic mechanics make it adjustable and mobile.

  • Buy once, use many ways

    The same platforms become an outdoor stage, seating, a rolling stage or a built-in stage. Existing platforms can, for example, be placed on the Rolltec chassis.

  • Add parts without drilling

    The solid Compact corner has M8 and M10 threads. Railings, skirting and seats are fixed with standard screws – on Servo Stage and Solodrive One too.

  • One load rating for the whole room

    750 kg/m² distributed load throughout, tested with a 1.7 safety factor; railings for impact loads up to 2 kN.

  • Special sizes in the same factory

    Our own CAD design team and special-construction workshop for curves, cut-outs around columns, oversizes and listed buildings.

Questions

Before you choose What to clarify first

Mobile or built in – which suits my hall?

If the stage is needed several times a week and storage space is short, a built-in system makes sense: Servo Stage and Solodrive One sit flush in the floor, so there is no transport and no storage. The pit is best planned during construction. If the stage moves between rooms or sites, plug-in leg and scissor platforms are the more flexible choice.

Can I start small and extend later?

Yes. Push'n Pull grandstands grow block by block, the stage cabinet piece by piece, and platforms can be added at any time. Because almost everything is built on the same platform systems, the accessories still fit later.

Are there sizes other than 2 × 1 m?

Yes. All series are available in special sizes, special shapes and with the surface of your choice – planned by our own design department.

I already have a quote from another manufacturer.

Send it to us. In the [Quote Check](/en/service/quote-check) we review the calculation, forgotten and unnecessary accessories, and whether the price is justified.
