Transtage

What Transtage does

Transtage is a privately held Australian manufacturer and direct seller of modular portable staging systems, headquartered in Castle Hill, New South Wales, with distribution across all Australian states and territories. The company designs and supplies aluminium-framed, birch-plywood portable stages (All Terrain, Ultra, Mobile Folding, Lite, Mity, and Wood-Look lines), an integrated accessory ecosystem including Box/Tri/Flat truss, backdrops, and portable risers (seating, choir, drum, DJ tables, catwalks), plus a Custom Made Stages service with 2D/3D modeling and a 10-year structural warranty. Its core technical differentiators are a tool-free quick-lock lever assembly (under 10 seconds per deck-leg), height-adjustable telescopic legs with 50mm micro-adjustment for uneven terrain, 1,000kg+ load capacity per platform, and independent third-party structural certification by the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering at Western Sydney University.

The business model is hardware sales via a sales-led, quote-based direct channel: customers engage by phone (1300 712 066) or website form, receive a quote within one business day, and are shipped free Australia-wide from the Castle Hill warehouse. Transtage serves at least six verticals — Schools & Education (1,000+ schools supplied), Government & Council, Churches, Hospitality & Venue, Production & Events, and Architecture & Design — with pricing per configured package ranging from approximately $899 (DJ table) to $62,500 (large Mity Stage systems). The company has supplied 2,000+ customers over the past decade, with named logos including Hillsong, Australian Open, Melbourne University, C3 Church, ALH Group, and Sydney Fringe Festival. Transtage is independently owned, discloses no external funding or parent company, and relies on a lean team with at least one named Sales Manager (Peter Giblin).

The company sells directly to end customers and offers custom sizing, certified structural components, and accessories such as DJ tables.

Product overview

Transtage offers a unified portfolio of modular portable staging solutions for events across Australia. The core product line consists of six portable stage types (All Terrain, Ultra, Mobile Folding, Lite, Mity, and Wood-Look stages) designed for varying capacities and use cases from lightweight school assemblies to heavy-duty concert setups. Supporting the stages is an accessory ecosystem including truss systems (Box, Tri, and Flat), backdrops, and portable risers (seating, choir, drum, DJ tables, catwalks, and stage extensions). A custom manufacturing service enables bespoke configurations beyond standard offerings.
