Aerial Rigging & Hardware

Rigging is the part of aerial where the numbers matter most. Every component between your ceiling and your apparatus — the anchor, the shackle, the swivel, the carabiner — has to be rated to at least the load of the apparatus itself, because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Our Universal Hanging Kit ships fully assembled with a rigging plate, three swivels, three shackles and an auto-locking carabiner, rated SWL 360 kg and MBS 3600 kg at a 10:1 safety factor. It fits aerial straps, bodyloops, corde lisse, trapeze and chains.

Not sure what those numbers mean? Read our explanation of SWL, MBS and safety factors before you rig.
