Stage Pad
QUED® Stage Pads are designed to offer protection against impact along the front of a stage. These custom pads are easily installed and removed with Velcro attachment and can be ordered in any length for ease of storage. Digital graphics are an added feature for identifying team mascots and/or advertising sponsors, making them ideal for multidisciplinary environments where safety and branding converge.
Challenge
Protect stage fronts with removable or freestanding padding that supports branding and quick changeovers.
Solution
Apply underside hook‑and‑loop (optional Model 1‑62 moulding) to secure absorbent polyurethane or firm polyethylene cores wrapped in reinforced vinyl; specify tapered, freestanding pads for retractable stages.
The Pad
For permanent stages, the design includes a variable‑height front panel with a ~150–300 mm (6–12 in, typ) padded return on the floor. For retractable stages, the pads are freestanding and may taper for stability.
The Construction
The pad uses a reinforced vinyl cover (~0.61 kg/m² / 18 oz/yd²; optional ~0.68 kg/m² / 20 oz/yd² phthalate‑free) over absorbent polyurethane in 50 / 76 / 102 mm (2 / 3 / 4 in) or ~32 mm (1.25 in) firm polyethylene. Hook‑and‑loop along the underside mates to floor hook‑and‑loop, and optional aluminum (Model 1‑62) floor moulding is available.
The Operation
Attach the underside hook‑and‑loop to the stage floor or Model 1‑62 moulding. For retractable stages, position freestanding pads as specified.
