Doughty SixTrack Kit — Line Operated System

The Doughty SixTrack is a professional stage curtain track system designed for theatres, schools, studios, and live event venues. Also known as theatre curtain track or stage curtain pulley system, this line operated curtain track kit opens the curtain from one end to the other using an 8mm diameter polyester hauling line — controlled by hand with a weighted pulley or with a wall or floor-mounted manual track drive. Available in 12 lengths from 4m to 15m, each kit includes every component required for a complete installation. British designed and manufactured by Doughty Engineering since 1985.

Also available as a walk-along curtain track kit and a line operated kit with overlap for centre-opening configurations. For smaller venues with limited space, the Doughty Rail is a compact, low-profile aluminium curtain track alternative.

B. For systems longer than 5m:

A line support and single guide pulley are recommended for systems longer than 5m to prevent hauling lines from sagging and chaffing. Use a pre-stretched polyester cord to minimise sag. For full installation details refer to the User Manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Doughty SixTrack Line Operated Kit?
Each Doughty SixTrack Line kit includes everything required for a complete installation: straight track, end stops (2 pairs), master runner, return pulley, twin head pulley, ball raced runners (1 per 300mm of track), adjustable support brackets (1 per 1500mm of track), hauling line, line support, weighted hand pulley, and a fixing kit for joining track sections. Ceiling fixings and grid fixings are not included as these vary depending on individual installation methods.
What is the maximum length of a Doughty SixTrack Line operated system?
For the Doughty SixTrack Line, the maximum recommended length for a single span track is 10m. For an overlap configuration, the maximum recommended length is 18m. Doughty SixTrack Line kits are available in 12 lengths from 4m to 15m. For longer runs, multiple sections can be joined using the fixing kit included in every kit.
What is the difference between the Doughty SixTrack Line operated system and the walk-along system?
The Doughty SixTrack Line operated system uses an 8mm polyester hauling line to open and close the curtain. The operator stands at one end of the stage and pulls the line, allowing the curtain to be operated from a fixed position without walking with it. The walk-along system is simpler and operated by manually pulling the curtain cloth directly. The Doughty SixTrack Line operated system is more professional and suited to larger venues where the operator cannot walk with the curtain.
Do I need any additional fixings to install the Doughty SixTrack Line?
The Doughty SixTrack Line kit includes all track components but does not include ceiling fixings, grid fixings, or other structural support brackets, as these vary depending on your venue and installation method. Refer to the Doughty SixTrack Line User Manual for full installation guidance and recommended fixing methods for different ceiling and grid types.
