Stage Rigging Hardware for Entertainment and Events

MTN Shop is part of Mountain Productions, with over 40 years of experience supplying the entertainment industry. We sell stage rigging hardware from Columbus McKinnon, Doughty Engineering and LiftAll, three of the most trusted names in entertainment rigging. Whether you are building a lighting rig for a touring production, installing a permanent theatre grid or rigging a live events structure, our range covers the hardware components you need, all independently certified and rated for professional overhead use.

Choosing the Right Rigging Hardware

  • Beam Clamps: create certified rigging points on structural steel I-beams and H-beams without drilling. Used in theatre grids, TV studios and exhibition halls, available in a range of beam flange widths and SWL ratings.
  • Shackles & Links: rigging shackles for connecting wire rope, chain and lifting components. D shackles and bow shackles available in a range of WLL ratings, all stamped with Safe Working Load.
  • Wire Rope & Fittings: steel wire rope and wire rope clamps for suspension lines, safety bonds and structural rigging. Stainless steel wire rope is also available for outdoor and corrosive environments.
  • Stage Pulleys: pulleys and snatch blocks for flying systems, curtain tracks and load deflection in stage and theatre rigging, available in fixed and swivel versions.
  • Truss Adaptors: connect a lighting stand or ground support to a truss section, available in fixed, swivel and hinged versions for different truss configurations.
  • Worm Gear Winches: manual winches for raising and lowering lighting bars, scenic pieces and stage structures. The self-locking worm gear mechanism holds the load securely without a brake.
  • Rigging Slings: soft round slings for lifting and suspending loads in stage and event rigging, available in a range of SWL ratings and lengths.
  • Ratchet Straps: for load restraint in touring and event applications, available in 25mm, 35mm and 50mm widths.

Pairing Rigging Hardware With the Right Hoist

Rigging hardware is only half of a flown system. If you are speccing beam clamps or shackles as a suspension point for a motor, pair them with a CM Lodestar or Prostar chain hoist from our Columbus McKinnon range, and check our full chain hoist collection if you need heavier industrial capacities.

Safety and Certifications

All stage rigging hardware sold by MTN Shop is independently tested and certified for entertainment rigging applications. Always calculate the total suspended load including fixtures, cable and accessories before selecting a component, and ensure the rated SWL or WLL exceeds that total with an appropriate safety margin. If you are unsure which product is correct for your application, contact our team before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stage rigging hardware covers the certified components used to build, connect and secure overhead rigging systems in theatre, live events and TV studios. This includes shackles, wire rope, beam clamps, pulleys, winches and truss adaptors. All professional rigging hardware should be independently certified and stamped with its Safe Working Load before use overhead.
Shackles are used to connect wire rope, chain and rigging components together at a rated load capacity. D shackles are used for inline connections and bow shackles for multi-leg connections where the load is applied from multiple directions. All shackles should be stamped with their Safe Working Load and inspected before every use.
Beam clamps and girder clamps both create rigging points on structural steelwork without drilling. Beam clamps are typically smaller, designed for lighter loads and used for suspending cables and lighting fixtures. Girder clamps are heavier duty, designed for larger I-beam and H-beam flanges and rated for higher loads including chain motors and hoists.
Steel wire rope is the standard for stage suspension lines, safety bonds and structural rigging. Stainless steel wire rope is used for outdoor events and environments where corrosion resistance is required. Wire rope should always be used with the correct wire rope clamps and ferrules, and inspected regularly for broken strands, kinks and corrosion.
A worm gear winch is used to raise and lower lighting bars, scenic pieces and stage structures manually. The self-locking worm gear mechanism holds the load securely in position without a separate brake, making it suitable for counterweight and flying systems in theatre and studio installations. Always verify the winch SWL against the total suspended load before use.
Rigging hardware such as beam clamps and shackles creates the suspension point, but a chain hoist is what actually raises and lowers the load. For entertainment applications, CM Lodestar and Prostar hoists are the industry standard and pair directly with the beam clamps and shackles in this range.
