L&S has added a new stage to its QuickStage series. The QuickStage 100 was designed, planned and built by us.

With a platform surface of 12 m x 8 m (w x d), this stage offers outstanding rain protection for its size, thanks to a generous canopy with an overhang of 2.70 m and tarps on all three sides. Stages in this size and price category often only use gauze covering and rarely have a canopy with overhang.

The platform height varies between 1.30 m and 1.80 m and is based on a Layher substructure. Roof loads of up to 8 tons are also remarkable.

And the QuickStage 100 is an impressive sight: An 11 m roof and a 20 m stage front (with PA wings) provide proper performance space for artists and musicians. A variety of attachments can be added to the QuickStage 100, such as a side or rear platform, a front platform or loading ramps and docks.
