Thern’s design team has years of experience installing, operating, and maintaining rigging systems. This experience has been incorporated into all products.

Theatrical Rigging Accessories by Thern Stage

Here are some of the key accessories in creating a superior venue.

Pipe Battens and Ladder Battens:

Pipe battens are pipes hung from the structure of a building. They are used for attaching scenery, projection screens, or lighting equipment.

Manufactured to design specifications and pre-drilled and finished with a smooth, durable satin-black finish, Thern battens offer strong, reliable performance. Welded ladder battens are manufactured doubled battens with flat steel webbing to provide the increased stiffness and stability required of heavier stage loads while still providing easy installation. Thern also can provide custom batten assemblies if needed from the customer.

Batten Clamps:

Batten clamps are used to connect wire rope lift lines to battens. Cut and formed specifically for stage battens, Thern pipe clamps offer a strong, rigid connection.

Guide Shoes:

Guide shoes are used to guide the arbor along the tracks that are mounted to the stage wall.

Thern provides a wide range of guide shoes for our Brickhouse® Front-Loading Arbors, traditional rod arbors, as well as floor tension blocks. The guide shoes include extra-thick backing plates and a convenient “twist to install” feature, making them fast and easy to install on-site. All Thern guide shoes have UHMW guides for decades of quiet and smooth performance. Thern can also provide roller guides and custom guide assemblies when necessary.
