Aerial Silk Fixed Anchor Hardware Kit
Aerial Silk Fixed Anchor Hardware Kit
This rigging kit is designed to sling an existing anchor point and suspend a single aerial apparatus or silk. It is an ideal choice when silk height is not a primary concern.
As a "low-profile" system, this kit is particularly suited for use in spaces with limited height, enabling users to maximize the available area. Its streamlined design minimizes obstructive rigging, allowing for greater freedom and functionality when working with silks.
Kit Includes:
1 x 1” Flat x 48” Nylon Sling
1 x Delta/TRI Link
1 x Swivel
1 x Steel Auto-Locking (AL) Carabiner or 1 x Aluminum AL Carabiner
1 x Rescue 8 Rigging Plate or 1 x Aerial Angel Rigging Plate
Tech Tip: Don’t 3-Way Load Your Carabiners!
While strong, the 1” nylon sling anchor should be "doubled up" when durability is a concern, such as when working with rough steel edges.
It is also recommended to use a Delta/TRI link instead of a carabiner in these scenarios. Carabiners often become overloaded in this type of anchor configuration, particularly when using a wrapped or basket-style anchor that terminates into a 3-way load once the silk is connected as the third load strand.
Professional riggers typically opt for TRI links or shackles with the screw pin secured using a zip tie for added safety, also known as “mousing” the shackle. For a super low-profile system, an additional tool or piece of equipment may be required. Please reach out to us to further customize your kit.
