Stage Risers NYC

A Little Lift for New York Rooms

Plenty of New York events don’t need a full stage. Think of a board meeting in a Midtown office, a panel in a Brooklyn loft or a head table at a hotel dinner. The people up front just need to be raised enough to be seen.

Our stage riser rental in NYC uses modular decks that ride up in the freight elevator and lock together in the room. We set the height from your sightlines and level every deck. Steps, a ramp, rails and skirting go on last. Our crews have built at Manhatta, 60 floors above the Financial District.

Not in the city? Our stage riser rental also covers New Jersey, Long Island and Florida.

• Sized to fit the freight elevator
• Height set from the room’s sightlines
• An ADA ramp wherever it’s needed
• Struck inside the building’s window

How Risers Get Into a New York Room

1. Room and Sightlines Send the floor plan or a few photos and tell us who goes on the riser. We pick the size and height for the seats in that room.
2. Dock and Elevator We book the loading dock and the freight elevator with the building and check the elevator size against the decks.
3. Build and Level Our crew locks the decks together and levels them on the floor, then fits the steps and skirting.
4. Check and Strike Every riser gets a safety check before doors. After the event, we take it down inside the building’s load-out window.

What to Know About Renting Risers in NYC

• Freight Elevators The elevator decides how big each piece can be. Risers come as modular decks, so they ride up in sections and join in the room.
• Dock Times Buildings book their docks in time slots and expect vendors on schedule. We plan the delivery around the slot your venue gives us.
• Insurance Certificates Expect your venue to ask for our insurance certificate before we arrive. Forward us their exact wording and we’ll send it over.
• Old Floors Loft and landmark floors are rarely flat, so every deck gets leveled on site before anyone steps up.

Stage Riser Rental in NYC FAQs

Where can I rent a stage riser in NYC?

ProSho rents stage risers in all five boroughs. Our crew delivers them, builds them in the room and takes them away after.

How much does riser rental cost in NYC?

It depends on how many risers you need, the height, the steps or ramp, and the building’s dock and elevator rules. Send the venue and the program and we’ll quote it.

Will the risers fit in my building’s freight elevator?

They come as modular decks that travel in sections and lock together in the room. Send us your elevator’s size and we’ll check it against the decks.

What height riser do I need for a panel?

It depends on the room. A few rows of seats can work with a low riser, while a long ballroom needs more lift. We set it from your floor plan.

Can you add a ramp to the riser?

Yes. We add ADA ramps, handrails and steps to any riser, and the deck surfaces are non-slip.

Do you rent risers for a board meeting or a small event?

Yes. One podium riser for a single speaker gets the same crew and the same checks as a full room of staging.

Can the risers go in the night before?

If the venue allows it, yes. Tell us the building’s load-in and load-out times and we’ll work inside them.
