Safety and Certifications

All Doughty stage rigging accessories sold by MTN Shop are independently TÜV tested and certified for professional use. Always calculate the total suspended load before selecting eye bolts, safety bonds or suspension components, and ensure the rated WLL exceeds that total with an appropriate safety margin. A secondary Doughty safety bond must always be used when rigging any fixture overhead, regardless of clamp type. If you are unsure which product is correct for your application, contact our team before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stage rigging accessories are the certified components used to complete an overhead rigging system in theatre, live events and TV studios. The Doughty range covers eye bolts for suspension points, safety bonds for secondary retention, spigots for fixture attachment, strainers for tensioning wire rope and scenery fixings for flying systems.
Collared eye bolts are the correct type for stage rigging because they can accept loads from multiple directions without risk of the eye bending or failing. Doughty eye bolts are independently TÜV certified, stamped with their WLL and available in a range of thread sizes for different rigging applications.
Yes. Secondary safety bonds are a legal requirement when rigging any fixture overhead in the UK under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Doughty safety bonds must be attached to the fixture and the bar or truss independently of the primary clamp, so that if the clamp fails the fixture cannot fall. All Doughty safety bonds sold by MTN Shop UK are TÜV certified and rated by WLL.
A spigot is a short metal pin used to connect a stage lighting fixture to a stand, boom arm or adapter. The Doughty range covers 28mm and 16mm spigots, which are the UK and European industry standard for most theatre and live events fixtures. Doughty spigots are available in fixed, swivel and tilting versions depending on the positioning requirements of the fixture.
Doughty barrel strainers and turnbuckles are used to apply and adjust tension in wire rope, safety lines and flying systems. They allow the rigger to fine-tune the tension of a line after installation without replacing the rope. Always ensure the strainer or turnbuckle WLL matches or exceeds the maximum load in the line before use.
