Individual Hardware Pieces and Accessories
We're not a rigging ecommerce site but I stock a few pieces that can be hard to find. Please note that we do not sell pulley systems for Ludwig Rigs and you should contact the manufacturer at vvolfy.com.
Straps or Lyra Rigging Plates
I don't like using climbing rigging plates because the hole on the top is so large, things move around and there is a lot of wear on the plate. So, Aerial Animals has these triangles laser cut for aerial rigging. The triangles are made from ASTM A36 steel plate. They measure approximately 4.5 inches on a side and 3 inches from the center of one hole to another. Our standard plate is 1/4 inch thick and accommodates carabiners. $30
Span Sets
Cable-Tech Span Set - Manufacturer Load Ratings: Basket: 5,300, Choker : 2,120, Vertical: 2,650 and Minimum Breaking Strength of 13,250 lbs. These are the equivalent of violet round sling color code. Note some riggers require the equivalent of green slings even though the violet is already not the weakest link most rigging systems. These are the nicest looking, non-frumpy span sets I could find anywhere!

Maillon Rapide Quick Links
A quick link is a metal link, similar to a carabiner. It has a threaded sleeve which tightens over a thread, as opposed to a hinged gate like a carabiner, making them stronger. We find these to be the most cost effective way to connect pulleys to the eye bolts on portable rigs and straps rigging. We use Maillon Rapide brand quick links from France because they are known for their quality. We carry a variety of ovals, deltas and pear-shaped maillons. Prices vary according to size and shape $5-$15
Rigging Plates $35
The triangles are made from ASTM A36 steel plate with black powder coating. We have these laser cut and countersink the holes to reduce wear on carabiners or other connectors. Hole centers are spaced at 4 inches.
