Easydeck
Modular System
Easydeck is a modular performance system, perfectly suited for use in smaller
venues. Designed to provide temporary staging. It is a ‘no fuss’ system which is
simplicity itself to install and requires no special tools to assemble.
The Deck Panels are phenol coated birch ply and feature a
smooth surface and a non slip surface on opposing sides.
Easydeck conforms to the following standards, DIN 53799, BS6566:1 1985
IMPORTANT NOTE: Responsibility lies with the user to undertake their own risk assessment
following installation, to ensure the oor plan is set-out such that injuries resulting from falling
objects, e.g. furniture falling from staging, are either eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level.

Usage

Purpose
Easydeck is designed as a modular performance system for use as staging in small venues.
Safety Inspection
Never exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) as shown in the below table.
Type Size SWL
Square Frame 1000 x 1000 500 Kg
Square Frame 750 x 750 375 Kg
Triangular Frame 1000 x 1000 250 Kg

All units and parts should be visually inspected before use. In the event of any damage the
parts should be taken out of service and returned to an ‘Approved Doughty Service Agent’
for inspection. (see our dealer locator on our web site for a comprehensive list of Authorised
Service Agents)
WHEN WORKING WITH EASYDECK, CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID THE FOLLOWING:
• Manual Handling injuries: Persons assembling the units should be trained in manual
handling techniques, especially when removing frame units that have been stacked for
storage purposes.
• Entrapment/Crushing: Keep ngers clear when lowering the oor panels into the frame
modules.
• Slips: Assemble the oor panels, ensuring the ‘top-side’ is suitable for the intended
purpose.
NB: Floor panels are reversible – one face ‘smooth’ and one ‘non-slip’.
• Trips: When assembled, the entire oor area must be level, stable and devoid of any
‘ramps’ between adjoining modules that may present a trip hazard.
• Modular separation: Modules must be rmly secured to one another using the proprietary
Joint Channels and Joint Clips provided.
• Collapse: Modules that are stacked must be positioned and secured using proprietary
Riser Brackets.
• Falls: Handrails should be tted where there is a risk of injury from falling.
