Optimal Wheels for Stage Sets: Invisible and Efficient

Theater and stage wheels are often a 'last-minute' solution. It’s only at the final moment that the need for wheels under a stage piece is realized, with the crucial requirement that the wheels remain invisible to the audience. This creates the illusion that the set piece is firmly on stage and slowly 'glides' out of view. But do such small wheels exist? And more importantly, can the (heavy) set piece still be smoothly moved during scene changes with small wheels? 

High Time Pressure and Short Lead Times

A major challenge in this industry is the tight time frame within which the wheels need to be delivered. The performance is scheduled, and the set piece must be equipped with the right wheels before that time. There’s simply no room for delays.

The Theater Swivel Wheels

The Triple Swivel - from the TRIS series - is a classic example of high-quality swivel wheels for stage pieces. These wheels are mounted on a triangular plate, allowing the weight to be evenly distributed and enabling a high load capacity. Thanks to the three ball-bearing swivel wheels, the set piece can be smoothly moved with minimal swivel and rolling resistance. This makes changing scenes easy. Additionally, the wheels are virtually invisible under the set piece due to their relatively low build height.
