Staging Spotlight

It’s one of the premiere staging systems in entertainment today, and we proudly offer it as our strongest, biggest, and most capable system in our fleet. This week’s Staging Spotlight is all about the Mountain Truss System. The Mountain Truss is our most recent stage system, adding rigging capacity and features beyond our scaffold and truss tower systems. Countless events trust in the Mountain Truss System and its strength each year, ranging from huge multi-day music festivals, to state fairs and high-profile televised events.

This structure consists of an 8 or 4 tower design (depending on what size stage you require) and features a completely redesigned roof grid that can hold nearly any size show. 5 cross stage truss spans, a 20’ cantilever and both sound bays are each able to hold 50,000 lbs. The video wings accommodate up to 25,000 lbs each.

We all know the importance of first impressions. With festivals and outdoor events, custom built entranceways are one of the first things your patron will see and walk through. With cohesive branding and organized entry, your guests will be greeted properly to the experience that you’ve worked so hard to create. Mountain Productions provides different styles of entranceways to accommodate every requirement.

Scaffold Entranceways

One of the entranceway configurations we can build use scaffold towers as its legs. Top trusses or scaffold platforms span the length of the entranceway, and these structures can be built with any amount of towers you need.

One of our most popular mobile stage units is the SL-320, as it combines strength with the efficiency of quick setup and tear down. We’ve built the SL-320 to stand as the main stage as well as side stages to large festivals all throughout the country.

The SL-320 can be completely built by 8 competent operators, and takes roughly 4 hours. Safety and training is a must, but with a qualified crew (2 certified technicians and 6 stagehands), the SL-320 can be driven into position and setup with ample time for your sound check and production load in.

Mountain Productions’ original stage system, the Hercules Grid System has paved the way for our current stage structures, as well as helped guide the industry standards in temporary staging. The Hercules Grid System was engineered and designed in the early 80s, and quickly became the leading stage for countless high-end festivals and events, including the Jackson’s Victory Tour, Lollapalooza, Woodstock and more. For around 20 years, Mountain Productions provided the Hercules Grid System exclusively before the creation of our truss tower system and Mountain Truss.

The SAM-550 mobile stage is capable of standing alone as the main stage for huge festivals, but can also fit perfectly into your stage fleet as a B-Stage. The SAM-550’s impressive size is complimented by its ease of setup. As a mobile unit, this stage is easily built by competent and experienced operators, yet boasts the strength of a full non-mobile system. This helps you reduce labor while still raising a roof capable of holding enormous rigging loads. Our SAM-550 mobile stage has traveled all over the country for shows of all sizes.
