Top Backstage Storage Solutions for Costumes, Props, and Equipment
Backstage areas in theatres are notoriously chaotic spaces. The constant movement of costumes, props, and equipment makes organization essential but challenging. Fortunately, Wenger and GearBoss offer robust solutions to help theatres streamline storage, creating organized, efficient spaces that keep productions running smoothly.
Through innovative storage options like AirPro lockers, GearBoss shelving, Rack ‘n Roll garment racks, Team Carts, and SportCarts, these products take backstage organization to the next level. Here’s a closer look at how these tools revolutionize backstage storage, helping theatre staff manage space, maintain accessibility, and enhance overall functionality.
One of the unique challenges in backstage management is organizing dressing rooms where costumes and personal belongings are stored. AirPro lockers provide a tailored solution for these spaces, ensuring durability and ventilation that protect costumes from mildew and odors.
Key Features and Benefits
- Ventilated design: Continuous airflow prevents moisture buildup and odors.
- Customizable configurations: Modular design adapts to different dressing room layouts.
- Durability: Built to withstand hurried costume changes and heavy use.
With AirPro lockers, dressing rooms transform into efficient, organized spaces where each actor has a dedicated place for their costumes and belongings.
Stage productions often require a diverse array of props and equipment. GearBoss shelving provides a flexible and space-efficient solution for these needs.
Advantages for Theatrical Storage
- Adjustable configurations: Easily reconfigure to fit small props or large backdrops.
- Space efficiency: Maximizes vertical storage in tight backstage spaces.
- Durability: Strong enough for heavy props and set pieces.
As productions change, GearBoss shelving adapts—supporting seamless transitions and long-term efficiency.
Quick and efficient costume changes are essential for large productions, and Rack ‘n Roll garment racks make this process much easier.
Benefits for Theatre Productions
- Mobility: Rolls smoothly through doorways and elevators.
- Organizational efficiency: Keeps costumes visible and accessible.
- Durability: Built to withstand frequent moves and heavy use.
Rack ‘n Roll racks also serve as versatile carriers for props and accessories.
When theatres need mobile, secure storage that integrates seamlessly with existing systems, the GearBoss Team Cart delivers. Designed with flexibility in mind, it shares track space with GearBoss X-Carts but can also roll off-track when needed.
Key Features of Team Cart
- Customizable design: Options include shelves, garment bars, and doors.
- Durability: Built tough to handle heavy loads in demanding theatre environments.
- Track-compatible mobility: Works with X-Cart track systems yet easily rolls off for independent use.
This makes Team Cart a versatile choice for productions that require frequent storage reconfiguration or need rugged carts that keep up with high demands backstage.
For theatres with narrow hallways, elevators, or limited backstage space, the GearBoss SportCart offers a more compact solution without sacrificing durability.
Key Features of SportCart
- Small footprint: Designed to fit through tight spaces while still holding essential items.
- Easy mobility: Four swivel casters make it highly maneuverable.
- Durability and options: Includes adjustable shelves, garment bars, and covers for organized, protected storage.
The SportCart is especially effective for transporting smaller sets of costumes, props, or technical gear quickly through crowded backstage areas.
