Totally magnetic — no locks, no keys, nothing to replace

NexGen platforms are totally magnetic — no locks and no keys required, which means less hassle and more security. Other branded platforms such as Revostage, Intellistage, Alustage and Go-Pak can have up to 8 locks that need replacing over time. With NexGen there is nothing to replace, so platforms stay 100% functional for their whole lifespan.

Load weight is up to 1,500kg per platform, and a NexGen deck with NexGen riser legs can take up to 2+ tons depending on the height — always check the individual height specification.
