The Doughty SixTrack is a professional modular stage track system designed for smooth and reliable curtain operation in theatres, studios, and live events. Its versatile design allows you to configure both straight & curved track sections to fit any stage layout. With options ranging from a simple walk-along setup to a motorised track drive unit, the SixTrack system adapts to your specific rigging needs.
What is the Doughty SixTrack System?
The SixTrack system is a precision-engineered modular stage track system that guides curtains along straight & curved track sections with smooth, reliable motion. You can think of it as a professional railway for your stage curtains, designed for theatres, studios, and live event spaces.
Key components include:
- Rails: straight or curved sections, customisable to fit your stage layout and rigging requirements.
- Runners: master runners for curtain track that carry curtains efficiently along the rails.
- Brackets: adjustable track brackets for secure wall, ceiling, or truss mounting.
- End plates: securely finish cut-to-size SixTrack sections without on-site welding.
- Adaptor plates: allow runners to pass through mid-track sections.
- Hooks: attach curtains firmly to runners for smooth operation.
- Line or motorised track drive unit: optional manual or electric operation to suit your workflow.
The SixTrack system is built for professional use, offering flexibility, safety, and adaptability. It works seamlessly whether you’re installing a single straight track, a complex curved setup, or an overlap curtain configuration. The SixTrack rails can also be paired with SixTrack accessories for straightforward setup.
Accessories with the SixTrack System
The track sections are the backbone of the Doughty SixTrack system. Straight track sections range from 0.25 m to 3.0 m, while curved track sections span 0.5 m to 3.0 m. Plastic alignment spigots connect sections precisely, keeping runners gliding smoothly. This modular design allows you to configure the track to fit your stage, studio, or live event space exactly.
SixTrack accessories and components are designed to work seamlessly with the track and are available from MTN Shop:
- Runners and master runners: Ball race runners carry up to 6 kg each and are spaced every 300 mm. Master runners guide the curtains along straight or curved tracks for consistent motion.
- Support brackets: Adjustable, short, swing arm, or barrel brackets secure the track to walls, ceilings, or trusses. Recommended spacing is every 1.5 m to maintain stability.
- End and adaptor plates: Bolt-on plates finish track ends or allow runners to pass through mid-track sections.
- Twin hooks: Attach curtains securely to runners, ensuring smooth movement on both straight and curved sections.
- Line operation components: Twin and single pulleys, handlines, and drive units provide manual or motorised curtain control.
-
Fixings: Screws, washers, and nuts keep all track sections and accessories firmly in place.
MTN Shop also offers Doughty SixTrack kits, making it easier to source the key components for a complete installation.
Choosing the Right Doughty SixTrack Kit: Walk-Along, Line Operated & Overlap SixTrack Kits
When choosing a SixTrack kit, the right option depends on how your stage curtain track needs to operate. Doughty SixTrack is available as a walk-along kit, a line operated kit, or a line operated kit with overlap, giving theatres, studios, schools, and venues flexible options for manual curtain movement and centre-opening curtain layouts.
