Product Information

Product Description

The DragonStage 7.32x3.05m Compact Switchback Stage Service Ramp is designed for event productions that need a continuous wheeled access route but have limited space beside or behind the stage.

The complete system occupies an external footprint of approximately:

24 × 10 ft
7.32 × 3.05m

Instead of using one long straight ramp, two ramp runs are positioned almost parallel to each other and connected through an intermediate turning area.

This allows production crews to move equipment between ground level and an elevated temporary Stage Platform while keeping the ramp footprint relatively narrow.

For other ramp sizes and layouts, see Typical Aluminum Ramp.

Designed for AV Carts and Touring Production

This version is positioned primarily as a stage service and production-access ramp.

Typical applications include moving:

• AV equipment carts

• lighting control equipment

• cable trolleys

• video equipment cases

• production carts

• technical equipment

• small touring gear

• stage service equipment

It can also provide a continuous walking route for technicians and production staff.

The final equipment weight and required ramp load should be confirmed before the support configuration is finalized.

Compact Switchback Layout

The main advantage of this product is its compact U-shaped / switchback layout.

Rather than extending the complete access route in one direction, the ramp folds back alongside itself.

This is useful where the backstage area is constrained by:

• LED walls

• sound equipment

• backstage tents

• technical control areas

• barriers

• cable routes

• storage cases

• stage structures

The switchback arrangement helps preserve the surrounding working area.

Intermediate Turning Area

The two ramp runs are connected by a wider turning section.

This intermediate area allows technicians or carts to change direction before continuing along the second section.

Its practical role is especially important when moving wheeled production equipment, because the route can change direction without leaving the modular ramp system.

Standard 4 × 4 ft Modular Deck System

Each standard ramp deck measures:

4 × 4 ft / approximately 1.22 × 1.22m

Using a repeated modular deck size makes the complete ramp easier to:

• transport

• store

• assemble

• dismantle

• replace

• expand

• reconfigure for future projects

The final quantity of decks and support components is determined by the required stage height and finished ramp layout.

Dual-Side Guardrails

The ramp is equipped with guardrails along both sides of the access route.

Confirmed guardrail height:

3.28 ft / 1.0m

The guardrails continue along the inclined sections and turning area to create a clearly defined service route for personnel and wheeled equipment.

Why This Size Is Practical

With an external footprint of only approximately 7.32 × 3.05m, this configuration is more compact than the longer switchback ramps in the same product family.

It is particularly useful for:

• smaller concert stages

• touring events

• hotel events

• corporate productions

• exhibitions

• school stages

• church productions

• temporary technical platforms

The shorter overall footprint also makes it easier to integrate into backstage areas where space is already occupied by production equipment.

Ramp vs. Stage Stairs for Production Work

Stage stairs are usually the fastest route for personnel, but they do not solve the same problem as a service ramp.

A continuous ramp is more practical when the event crew needs to move wheeled equipment such as:

• AV carts

• cable boxes

• control cases

• technical trolleys

• small lighting cases

For other access components, see Stage Accessories.

• Stage service access

• Lighting-control equipment

• Video-production equipment

• Exhibition production

• Corporate-event technical access

• Church production stages

• School performance stages

• Festival backstage areas

• Temporary event platforms

Modular Aluminum Construction

The complete ramp is assembled as a temporary modular structure rather than one permanent unit.

This allows individual components to be used repeatedly across different event projects.

For event rental companies, this can be useful because the same modular ramp components may later be rearranged according to another stage height or site footprint.

How to Confirm the Final Configuration

Before production, please provide:

• finished stage height

• available site length and width

• entrance position

• stage connection position

• equipment type

• approximate equipment weight

• wheel or trolley dimensions

• indoor or outdoor use

DragonStage can then confirm the final slope, support heights, deck quantity, and connection arrangement.

Important Product Note

The confirmed product configuration includes:

• outside dimensions: 24 × 10 ft

• metric dimensions: approximately 7.32 × 3.05m

• standard deck size: 4 × 4 ft / 1.22 × 1.22m

• switchback / U-shaped layout

• intermediate turning area

• aluminum structure

• guardrails on both sides

• guardrail height: 1m / 3.28ft

The final stage height, ramp slope, allowable load, support arrangement, and stage connection details should be confirmed according to the actual project.

FAQ

What is the overall size of this ramp?
The external footprint is approximately 24 × 10 ft, equal to approximately 7.32 × 3.05m.

What type of layout does it use?
It uses a compact switchback / U-shaped layout with two parallel ramp runs.

What size are the standard deck modules?
Each standard ramp deck measures 4 × 4 ft / approximately 1.22 × 1.22m.

How high are the guardrails?
The guardrail height is 1m / approximately 3.28ft.

What is this product mainly designed for?
This version is positioned for AV carts, touring production equipment, technical crews, and backstage stage-service access.

Can wheeled equipment use the ramp?
Yes. The continuous access route is suitable for appropriate carts and wheeled production equipment, subject to the required load being confirmed.

Can technicians also use the ramp?
Yes. It can provide a continuous personnel route between the ground and stage.

Why use a switchback configuration?
It allows a longer access route to fit inside a relatively compact backstage footprint.

Can the layout be reversed?
Yes. The modular arrangement can be configured according to the actual stage and site position.

Can the ramp be made longer?
Yes. Additional modular deck sections can be configured according to the required stage height and site dimensions.

Can DragonStage supply the matching stage?
Yes. The ramp can be supplied together with a complete Stage Platform system.

Why Choose DragonStage

DragonStage supplies modular stages together with ramps, stairs, guardrails, and other access accessories.

For a production-service ramp, equipment size and working space can be just as important as stage height. This is why the ramp configuration should be selected according to the actual backstage workflow rather than only by outside dimensions.
