Greetings!
I'm hoping someone might offer some advice...
I recently started a new job as TD at a theatre connected to a school district. They have the Wenger Versalite platforms (portable staging/risers) for band and choir functions. Now I've used these before... but they were never in such poor condition. I know that these are known for handles and clips breaking, but just about every one of them is broken off of these (the handles that lock the legs in place and the butterfly clips that lock the risers together).
I've contacted Wenger to order replacement parts and they seem very pricey. I'm worried that I'll spend the money and just end up in the same boat with them breaking in a year or so. However, ordering an entirely new platform system is just not in the budget at this time.
Has anyone had any experience with these particular platforms? What did you do to extend their life and keep them safe?
Thanks in advance!
