Milos Sets the Stage in Belarus
A MILOS MR3 staging/roof system complete with S4 decking has been supplied to the City of Minsk's local government via company Art Ramos Studio a.l.c. The 20 x 14 metre stage/roof offering an impressive 6 metres of headroom - is being operated for the City Council by the company MinskReklama. A competitive tender was issued for the contract to supply the mobile stage equipment which was won by Milos and Art Ramos against stiff competition.
"Milos was chosen by the clients because it offered the best quality product and value for money," explains Art Ramos' Anton Streltsov, who has been working with Milos products for the last three years. "It's an extremely quick and easy system to rig and de-rig," he says, adding "it's also very flexible, and end users like all these attributes." He further comments that Milos products also have a good reputation for being very robust and well engineered.
Milos' S4 staging system is one of the most flexible available on the market - the decking is adjustable from 1 metre to 2.5 metres in height and fits together using straightforward connection nodes based on scaffolding technology to provide very stable and versatile performance areas. Heights are determined by the number of half-metre profiles used per leg section in combination with the connection nodes. The final height can be levelled and adjusted by 0.4 of a metre via screw jack feet once the decking is fully assembled.
The M3 roofing system is one of MILOS most popular such products. It is a large roof system designed to cover areas of up to 280m² (3,014 square feet) with a full height of 15 metres (49.2 feet) and is perfect for concerts, festivals and outdoor events of all types. The MR3 is constructed using MT2 towers with M400 & M520 series components, giving great strength and stability plus speedy construction. The canopy is custom manufactured from fire-retardant grey PVC, and securely fastened and tensioned using ratchets.
The Minsk stage/roof has already been used on numerous events, including the state's recent Independence Day celebrations at Victory Stella in central Minsk - a free concert starring a host of Belarusian and Russian singers and bands, culminating in a stunning fireworks spectacle.
For this, Art Ramos collaborated with Milos to design and supply a custom double-decker FOH tower to provide sound and lighting mixer positions. This measured 5 by 4.5 metres and stood 6 metres high, offering two completely independent floors and weather resistant skins. It proved such an ideal solution, that the FOH tower has now become one of MILOS new standard product ranges.
The Minsk stage has also been utilised to celebrate the City's birthday and for the State Annual Festival of Agriculture.
