The M42 is a self-contained mobile trailer stage with 42 square metres of covered performance space and a slip-proof, weatherproof floor. It sets up in around 30 minutes and is self-balanced for hard standing, with full 50mm tubular trussing and wind-rated side walls.
From £1,495
Our standard M42 mobile trailer stage delivers 42 square metres of performance space (7m x 6m), comfortably accommodating a 10-piece band and up to 25 singers. Self-contained and self-balanced for hard standing use, this stage requires just 30 minutes to set up and 45 minutes to take down.
The stage height is adjustable between 1.0m and 1.3m above ground, with an overall height of 5m. The slip-proof weatherproof floor has a load capacity of 3.5 kN/m² (approximately 350 kg/m²). Wind and showerproof side walls are rated to 17.8 m/s with covers fitted, or 30 m/s without covers. Full 50mm tubular trussing is included for rigging, along with floodlights for setup and takedown.
On 27 June 2026 we used the 7x6m stage at Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, with line-array PA flown at both sides for Migration Matters Festival. The photographs show the covered deck in use for dance and spoken performances, rather than an empty stage in the yard. Read the completed-job case study.
A 7x6m Show Stage in Use
The Kelham Island Museum job is a useful view of the working setup. The line-array PA was flown from the stage structure, leaving the performance deck clear apart from the stage monitors and show equipment.
We can supply the stage on its own or plan the PA system, power, lighting and crew as part of the same job. We provide the risk assessments and method statements before the event, along with £5 million public liability cover.
Truss Frame and Rigging
Full 50mm tubular trussing provides rigging points for speakers, lighting and production equipment. The 5m overall height gives clearance for lighting setups, keeping the stage floor clear for performers.
Weather Protection and Setup
Wind and showerproof side walls protect performers and equipment in challenging conditions. The walls are rated to 17.8 m/s (approximately 40 mph) with covers fitted, while the uncovered structure withstands winds up to 30 m/s (approximately 67 mph).
The stage works both indoors and outdoors, on hard surfaces or grass. The self-balanced design means no additional anchoring is required on hard standing.
