StagingPlatform Rental Level on Any Ground
Platform rental from PM1 is the platform, the drawing, the crew, and the access, delivered as one service. FOH, lighting, control, camera, and viewing platforms leveled to the ground under them, with stairs and rails built in. Detroit, DC, Orlando, and worldwide when called.
The BuildWhat Platform Rental From PM1 Includes
Every PM1 platform rental includes the drawing, the delivery, the build, and the strike. The platform goes where the show needs the position, at the height the sightline needs, on whatever ground is there.
- A scaled CAD layout of every platform, stair, ramp, and rail, approved before anything ships.
- Platforms leveled to the site: grass, slopes, sand, asphalt, or a hillside.
- Key positions raised for the show: FOH, lighting, control, and camera, sized to the gear and the crew on them.
- Access drawn in from the first layout: stairs, handrails, guardrails, and a ramp or lift where the site needs ADA access.
- PM1 crew delivers, builds, and strikes it, with engineering stamped by licensed engineers where the job requires.
Uneven GroundBuilt on the Ground That's There
Most event sites aren't flat. PM1 levels platforms on scaffold bases over hillsides, lakeshores, sports fields, and parking lots, then ties the stairs and rails into the same structure. The same method put a competition volleyball court on the field at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium for the 2023 match that set the world attendance record for women's volleyball, and an exhibit platform under the Poppy Wall of Honor on the National Mall. The site walk sets the plan. The drawing shows every leg before load-in.
See how we workConfigurationsPlatform Rental Options
Each platform is drawn to the position it holds, the ground under it, and the people who use it. If the position isn't listed here, call it in.
FOH and Control Platforms
Raised mix and show control positions with clear sightlines to the stage, room for the consoles and the crew, and stairs to get on and off.
Lighting and Production Platforms
Followspot positions, lighting platforms, and production desks, set at the height the throw or the view needs.
Camera and Press Platforms
Camera positions and press platforms sized to the shot, with room for tripods, operators, and cable runs.
VIP and Viewing Decks
Single and two-level viewing decks for sponsors and guests, with guardrails, room for canopies, and access stairs.
Courts and Exhibits
Competition courts raised over a stadium field and exhibit platforms on public ground. The platform carries the floor, protects what's under it, and gives play or a crowd a level surface.
Tent Platforms
Raised, level platforms under tents on grass or a grade. PM1 builds full tent floors when the whole footprint needs one.
Access
Stairs, handrails, guardrails, ramps, and lifts, drawn into the layout so every platform has a safe way on and off.

The PM1 Way™From Site Walk to Load-Out
Every PM1 job runs the same five steps. One crew carries it from the first site walk to load-out.
Four questions start every job: what you're building, where it lands, scale and timeline, and what's already in motion. Scope and budget get defined before anything else does.
A site walk, then a CAD layout drawn to scale. Stage, seating, structures, cameras, power, and access on one drawing, coordinated with the venue and stamped by licensed engineers where the job requires.
The advance. Permitting, logistics, crew calls, and a load-in schedule every crew can use. This is where the show gets won.
Load-in to load-out, led on site by a PM1 production manager or structural site lead. One show caller. One show file. Doors open when every check is signed off.
A debrief and a financial review that closes the job. What worked, what could be tighter, and what the site taught us.
