Transfold Choral Risers

TransFold Choral Risers are ready to go wherever your choir performs. Built-in wheels make it easy to roll the TransFold unit from the classroom to the auditorium or up stairs and on to a bus or van. Upon arrival at the performance venue, your TransFold Choral Risers set up in seconds so they will be ready when you are. Midwest's exclusive, gas-spring assisted design allows the unit to open with moderate foot pressure, taking the strain out of the set up. This also includes a safe, controlled motion when folding the unit for transportation and storage.
