ABSTRACT:
A folding stage includes deck connectors that are configured for engaging a bore formed in the decks. The connectors may extend outward to support bridging decks adjacent the stage. Pin-type connectors are rotatable into a retaining position are rotatable downward below the decks. The connectors may also be turned to extend beyond the edge of the stage decks or be retracted to a position below the stage deck when not used for bridging. A deck retainer includes a retaining tab portion at one end for retaining bridging decks against the stage decks as well as the lifting surface at the other end which may engage the bottom of the decks to lift the decks so that the connectors may be turned.
