What rigging hardware means

The metalwork
that carries the load.

Rigging hardware is the structural attachment and suspension gear that holds the rig up: it fixes the load to the building and grid and routes the lines. TSA specifies five families to theatrical and venue standard, not from a generic industrial catalogue.

  • Cable holders. Reutlinger, self-locking.
  • Pulley blocks. Nylon sheaves, third-party certified to AS 1418.2.
  • Beam and girder clamps. No-drill fixing to structural steel.
  • Batten clamps. In-house, matt black.
  • Fly-system hardware. Irons, plates, lugs, turnbuckle.

Wear-and-replace consumables sit alongside in the Lifting & Rigging range.

Load-bearing attachment and suspension metalwork: the gear that fixes the rig to the building and grid and routes the lines. Five families:
  • Reutlinger self-locking cable holders
  • 150 mm nylon pulley blocks and sheaves
  • Beam and girder clamps
  • Batten clamps and pipe hangers
  • Fly-system hardware
Consumables (slings, shackles, rope, wire rope and tape) are on the consumables page, tube couplers on the clamps and couplers page, LITEC truss on the truss and structures page, and personal height-safety gear on the personal rigging gear page.
Type 50, 66 and 80 SV III self-locking cable holders take 4 to 8 mm steel wire rope and lock under load. Two certified ratings:
  • DGUV safety factor 10: 60 to 240 kg, the entertainment-industry rating
  • TUV safety factor 5: 120 to 480 kg
Not permitted for dynamic scenic movement, and loads must never travel above people in the danger zone. Reutlinger range, made in Germany, in central and lateral cable-exit forms with ring, threaded, fork and Doughty-coupler fittings.
