Hire equipment

Stage

Assorted 1m x 1m and 2m x 1m pieces of metrodeck staging stored in various venues around Dorchester.

In respect of hiring staging: The staging weighs 42kg (2m section) and 25kg (1m section). It is our suggestion that at least two people move and set up the staging and that hirers do not attempt to transport it in a car.

A van will normally be required. The Health and Safety Executive’s guide on “Getting to Grips with Manual Handling” offers advice on lifting heavy objects.
