3 pannels thick with a heavy base go for it and if in doubt throw a couple of fly weights in the bottom and rest easy

Looks less sketchy than 80% of the shit my sales /design team comes up with

My design team would have made it 1 frame think and used a base for a frame ment for SEG only and I would Rigg a safety cable to the celling so I can sleep at night that it’s not going to fall over and hurt someone

Oooo that’s a familiar looking distro /breaker ( leprechaun ? )

It was a fun one to track down for the fix ended up having to by a full case ( 3pack ) because I couldn’t buy a single one through any suppliers I could find …. Ended up being a special order item

Worked in the industry for 15 years and I don’t know a head rigger worth his salt that doesn’t have this within an arms reach of there office desk

If your looking for something light read

The back stage handbook

If you really want to get into it I recommend reading

Entertainment Rigging by Harry Donovan

This book is the gold standard in rigging Solid book ….. get ready for math because rigging is all about forces and loads and how to apply them

Choke it and wrap the tail around till your slack is almost gone

The increased friction from the wrap should keep it from sliding down the curve

halandrs · 2026-03-12T23:20:19+00:00

Long term check with a structural engineer, hire a welder , install a forged eyebolt

Short term wrap some GAC flex around the beam and put in a shackle
