Doughty Engineering Rigging Equipment at MTN Shop
Doughty Engineering clamps, couplers and suspension hardware are used by riggers and production crews in theaters, concert venues, film studios and touring productions. MTN Shop stocks the Doughty range for the US market, from everyday scaffold couplers to specialist hanging clamps, spigots, drop arms and stands, so you can source a complete rig from one supplier.
Doughty Clamps and Couplers
Couplers are the core of any tube-based rig, joining scaffold tube, truss and pipe at fixed or adjustable angles. Doughty offers several families, each suited to a different tube size and job:
- Quick Trigger clamps attach with one hand, making them a fast choice for hanging lighting from truss and pipe.
- Mammoth couplers are built for 2.5 in tube and heavier loads.
- Slimline and lightweight couplers save weight and space where clearance is tight.
- Atom clamps fit smaller tube sizes from 25 mm to 38 mm for compact structures and display work.
- Gravlock couplers, used in pairs, connect tube to steel beam flanges.
Browse all couplers, or go straight to half couplers, swivel couplers, parallel couplers and fixed 90 degree couplers.
Hook Clamps and Hanging Clamps
Doughty hook clamps and hanging clamps suspend lighting fixtures and equipment from pipe and bar. The range includes Quick Trigger, Slimline and Titan hook clamps, eye clamps for direct suspension, and heavy-duty hanging clamps in 340 kg and 500 kg versions. They are a standard choice for lighting grids, flown bars and overhead rigging points. Find the full selection in our specialty clamps collection.
Spigots, Truss Adapters and Brackets
Spigots and truss adapters connect lighting fixtures and accessories to truss, stands and booms. Doughty pipe and wall brackets create fixed mounting points in venues, studios and installations where a permanent position is needed. Explore our rigging spigots and adaptors and brackets.
Drop Arms and Modular Rigging
The Doughty modular drop arm system lowers lighting positions below truss and pipe, giving lighting designers more flexibility in a rig without extra structure. Extensions, stirrups, tees and H frame assemblies let you configure each position for the job. See the full range of modular rigging and drop arms.
Stands, Bases and Boom Arms
For floor-mounted lighting, Doughty tank traps, bases and boom arms create stable side lighting positions for theater, dance and studio work. Pair them with truss or our tower lifts to build a complete ground-supported rig. For a wider look at the gear production crews rely on, read our guide to essential gear for the festival season.
How to Choose the Right Doughty Clamp
Start with the tube diameter you are fixing to, since each coupler family is sized for a specific tube. Then check the working load of the clamp against the weight of the fixture or structure it will carry, and decide whether you need a fixed, swivel or parallel connection. For overhead rigging, always use a secondary safety such as a safety bond. To avoid the most common mistakes, see our article on rigging safety misconceptions.
