GIGS STAGE BARRICADES

Robust, flexible stage barricades: safe barriers for every event

GIGS Stage barricades offer a wide range of combination options and functions for flexible barrier solutions that withstand heavy-duty pressure. For this purpose, the GIGS Straight serves as a stable base. The GIGS System is a modular barrier system that includes various special parts such as the GIGS Flex, GIGS Vario and GIGS Level Piece Element, the GIGS Corner, and the GIGS T-Barricade. The GIGS Barricade System guarantees maximum flexibility in construction.

Made For The Most Complex Configurations

GIGS Emergency Gate and GIGS Truck Gate ensure safe access, while GIGS Multicore products can accommodate the most complex stage and crowd control requirements. Our barricade extensions GIGS Sight Kill are sight-proof for additional visual protection and provide more security protection next to GIGS High Fence. Our GIGS Back Step is convenient for creating raised areas for security staff and performers. Similarly, our GIGS Bar Top turns barricades into versatile stalls. Moreover, highly stable and multifunctional entry gates – GIGS Security Line-up Gate, GIGS IO Gate, and GIGS Smart Gate – extend the GIGS Barrier System.

PRODUCT FEATURES: MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF GIGS STAGE BARRICADES

Robust and flexible Stage Barricades are essential for safe music festivals, concerts, sporting events, or other venues. GIGS Stage Barricades are made of robust and fire-resistant materials, primarily aluminum. So this makes them particularly stable. Due to statically tested pressure stability, the GIGS Straight Element is the optimal basis for constructing a safety barrier that you can easily combine with other components of the GIGS series.

Curves, Corners, And More

We can use various special elements such as the GIGS Flex, the GIGS Vario, the GIGS Level Piece Element, the GIGS Corner, and the GIGS T-Barricade to create barricade lines adapted to individual requirements and designed to be flexible. In this way, it is easy to implement various courses. These include curves, bends, and angles of all kinds. You can also implement height compensation for uneven terrain or shield separate event areas with additional elements.

GIGS Gates: Passages for Cables, People, and Vehicles

Furthermore, we have an extensive range of gate and passage elements ready. The wide GIGS Truck Gate ensures a reliable supply of visitors and a smooth delivery of various devices, components, and other equipment for event operations. Therefore, this allows emergency vehicles and even large trucks to pass through. However, our GIGS Emergency Gate can open with one hand under strong counter-pressure. So this ensures the accommodation or evacuation of event guests. The GIGS Multicore Access Gate (MAG) and the GIGS Mega Multicore Access Gate (MEGA MAG) – extensions of the GIGS Multicore – also have doors in addition to practical cable passages. These guarantee fast and safe access for security or sound specialists.

Walkways, Attachments, and Privacy Screens

The GIGS Back Step and the Back Step Curve for curved courses create the possibility of elevated walkways for security and artists. Therefore, this enables them to better supervise the audience area or establish contact directly with the crowd. GIGS High Fence, the transparent barricade elevation, provides optimum visibility and additional protection. Moreover, this is a modification of our GIGS Sight Kill, suitable for privacy-proof screening of backstages or other separate event areas. Also very practical and advantageous: Our GIGS Bar Top transforms a simple basic element into a stable counter for selling drinks or merchandise in just a few steps.

HOW SUSTAINABLE ARE OUR GIGS STAGE BARRICADES?

We use aluminum for production and always pay attention to high quality. Therefore, our GIGS Stage Barricades provide frequent and long-lasting use. Moreover, multiple and long-term use of barriers makes them more sustainable.

Material That Lasts Almost Forever

Aluminum is a durable material that lasts almost forever. We are lucky to be able to recycle 100 percent of our aluminum barricades at the end of their life cycle. All this minimizes our CO₂ footprint and takes us one step closer to the vision of a climate-neutral environment.

BEST PRACTICE

GIGS Barricades serve as safe concert barriers and open up escape routes; here at the Robbie Williams concert in the Olympic Stadium in Munich or the Global Citizen Festival in Paris

WHAT CAN GIGS STAGE BARRICADES WITHSTAND?

Aluminum is one of the light metals. If we consider it against steel, the same aluminum volume weighs only 1/3 of the volume of steel. But fire-resistant aluminum can withstand quite a bit even at low density and low weight.

For Up to 5-kilo Newton Pressure Load

GIGS Stage Barricades can withstand a pressure load of up to 5 kilo Newton. Moreover, they can convince in the open air with their robust, weatherproof, and non-corrosive properties. Therefore, they are made for large crowd events.

ALL ABOUT HANDLING

You can install complementary components such as the GIGS Bar Top or the GIGS High Fence, or GIGS Sight Kill attachments on compatible barricade elements in no time at all. All barricade modules from the GIGS selection can be connected quickly, safely, and stable.

Made in Italy – Installable In a Modular Way

The wide range of combination options for GIGS Stage Barricades also relates to matching Line-Up Gates. Barricade lines can be easily extended by the GIGS Security Line-up Gate, the GIGS IO Gate, or GIGS Smart Gate to ensure optimal access control. By the way: All GIGS modules are developed by eps and made in Italy

For tailor-made and flexible barrier solutions

For each event, we offer a tailor-made and flexible barrier solution. In some cases, barrier systems can easily combine with the help of universal adapters. On request, we will be happy to take care of all the necessary tasks, such as detailed CAD drawings, transport, and assembly and dismantling.

HEALTH AND SAFETY ASPECTS FOR GIGS STAGE BARRICADES

Our GIGS Stage Barricades have the CE marking. This means that we can guarantee a consistently high level of quality. Moreover, we check the current condition of our products several times a year to ensure this. Every load goes through strict pressure tests at our company.

Certificates for Safe Events

We have certificates for all stage barricades that are used in relevant areas. The certified stage barriers can withstand a pressure load of up to 5-kilo Newtons. So this makes them ideally suited for heavy-duty pressure. Therefore, we recommend them, especially for large events. They significantly impact successful crowd management, a relaxed environment, and a safe event.

GIGS STAGE BARRICADES: HOW TRANSPORT-EFFICIENT ARE THEY?

The good transport efficiency of the GIGS Stage Barricades shows in the example of the GIGS Straight Element. Several barricade elements are delivered on special transport racks to ensure optimal loading. In this case, approximately 390 linear meters fit on one tautliner.

Advantage During all Operational Steps: Lightweight

Compared to similar barrier systems, which are made of steel, we use aluminum for our stage barricades. This makes them much lighter and transport-friendly. Low weight is an advantage in all operational steps: during transport, assembly, and disassembly.

WHERE AND HOW CAN YOU USE GIGS STAGE BARRICADES?

Fast and easy-to-set up-stage barricades with high load capacity are basic requirements for good crowd management. Our high-quality, pressure-resistant GIGS Stage Barricades are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. You can use these as resistance for high-traffic event areas or secure stages, FOH and delay towers, catwalks, or sensitive event areas such as VIP areas. Moreover, these offer the greatest possible protection on almost any terrain. Stage Barricades can be ideal for creating barricade lines that require adaptation to unusual stage layouts.

Escape Routes and Access Areas for Emergency and Security Services

Due to their pressure stability, they are ideal for large events with expected high crowds. Our modular barrier system creates an excellent starting position to keep the audience under control. Moreover, these ensure escape routes and access areas for emergency services, security forces, and other crew members.

Tailor-Made for All Types of Events

Whether on a bumpy festival site, in a large arena, or in a presentable festival hall: Our wide range of products and the various connection options of our GIGS Stage Barricades open up tailor-made and safe barriers solutions for a wide variety of venues and events of all kinds.
