Stage technology

Mobile stage cabinet A theatre stage for any hall, assembled at eye level

BÜTEC Stage Cabinets

The stage cabinet turns platforms into a stage with main curtain, border, wings and back curtain. All beams, connectors and accessories hang on aluminium multi-function profiles. Your team fixes curtains and lights comfortably at eye level and then raises them by crank or motor. The stage is not tied to one place.

Benefits

Almost like a real theatre just without a permanent theatre hall

A stage cabinet does not replace a municipal theatre. But you can work almost as professionally with it, and the stage stands where you need it.

  • No work under the ceiling

    Curtains, lights and sound are fixed to the combination profile at eye level and only then raised. Ladders and scaffolding stay in storage.

  • Not tied to one place

    Sports hall, assembly hall, community hall or industrial hall: the cabinet is set up where the show takes place and taken down afterwards.

  • Grows with the budget

    Buy it complete now or piece by piece. When your needs grow, you extend the cabinet with the money you have at the time.

  • A frame for your room

    Various sizes, special sizes for niches, usable from both sides, with wall brackets or on ceiling beams.

  • Moved by a few people

    Pre-assembled on the Rolltec stage, 4 to 6 people move 100 m² of stage including cabinet and curtain.

  • All from one factory

    Platforms, profiles, tracks, fabrics and hoists come from BÜTEC and fit together, also when you extend later.

Assembly

Assembled on the floor A stage in three steps

BÜTEC stage platforms form the base. The cabinet is built on top.

  1. Assemble at eye level

    Parts and accessories are fitted to the combination profiles at a comfortable working height: curtains hung, lights fixed.

  2. Set up where the show is

    The cabinet stands on the platforms in the sports hall, assembly hall or auditorium. Skirting hides the substructure.

  3. Raise

    Accessories on the combination profiles, for example lighting and sound, are raised completely – by hand with cranks or by motor.

Questions

Questions about the stage cabinet

How long does set-up take?

A cabinet is ready for use within a few hours, because curtains and accessories are fitted on the floor and then raised. If it has to be faster, the cabinet is pre-assembled on the Rolltec stage and moved as a whole.

Which platforms do I need underneath?

We recommend scissor platforms Scissor 100 and Scissor 1000 or plug-in leg platforms Standard, Standard Plus, Compact, Eco and Flexible.

Can we start with just a part?

Yes. The cabinet is modular. Start, for example, with the frame and main curtain, and add wings, back curtain or hoists later.

How are lights and sound fixed?

To the combination profiles of the cabinet. After assembly the accessories are raised completely, by hand with cranks or by motor. More under hoist systems.

Can the cabinet be fixed to a wall or ceiling?

Yes, with wall brackets or on ceiling beams. Special sizes for niches are also possible.
