Speedrail

Doughty Speedrail is a modular tube fitting system for building lightweight, clean-looking structural frameworks on stage, in studios and at live events. Speedrail fittings connect directly onto standard 48mm tube using an allen key with no welding and no threading required, in standard and angled configurations to suit different structural layouts.

Doughty Speedrail — Modular Tube Fitting System for Stage and Studio

Doughty Speedrail is a proprietary modular tube fitting system for building lightweight structural frameworks, handrails, barriers and studio grid supports from standard 48mm tube. Speedrail fittings connect directly onto the tube using a grub screw tightened with an allen key, with no welding or threading required. Available in fixed angle and adjustable configurations, the Speedrail system is designed for stage, studio and live event applications where a clean, fast-assembly structure is needed.

What to Look For

  • Angle range: angled cross fittings come in two ranges: 10 to 35 degrees and 30 to 45 degrees. Select the correct version for your required intersection angle.
  • Fixed vs adjustable: use angled cross fittings when the angle is known and fixed. Use the adjustable crossover when the angle needs to be set on site or may change.
  • Tube diameter: all Speedrail fittings are designed for 48mm OD tube. Speedrail is not compatible with Pipeclamp fittings as the two systems use different fixing mechanisms and are not interchangeable.

Doughty Speedrail angled cross fittings are available in two angle ranges: 10 to 35 degrees and 30 to 45 degrees. Select the 10 to 35 degree version for shallow intersections and the 30 to 45 degree version for steeper intersections. If the exact angle is not known or may need to change on site, use the Doughty Speedrail Adjustable Crossover instead.
No. Doughty Speedrail and Doughty Pipeclamp are two separate tube fitting systems that use different fixing mechanisms and are not interchangeable. Both systems are designed for standard 48mm OD tube but the fittings cannot be mixed within the same structure.
