Rigging Points

At ITE, we design, engineer, and install safe, load-rated rigging points for theatres, performing arts centres, schools, conference rooms and multipurpose venues across Australia. All of our rigging components are fabricated and tested in-house at our Port Melbourne workshop, giving you complete confidence in quality, compliance, and safety.

Unlike imported alternatives, our rigging points are fully customisable to suit your building structure, load requirements, and intended use. Whether you need a few points to suspend lighting and AV equipment or a full set of flexible rigging points throughout a space for a variety of purposes.

WHAT WE OFFER

We operate according to strong principles that guide every decision:

Removable Rigging Points – designed for flexible or multipurpose spaces where points need to be added or removed quickly

Fixed Rigging Points– permanent points welded, bolted, or clamped to structural steel or custom supports

Motorised Rigging Points – engineered for chain hoists or other motorised equipment

Spreader Plates & Structural Brackets – to safely distribute loads across your building’s structure

Load-Rated Hardware – eyebolts, shackles, clamps, couplers, and certified accessories fabricated or sourced locally

Custom Fabrication – solutions engineered to your building’s architecture and your production’s needs

Safety & Certification – full load testing, engineering documentation, and compliance with Australian standards.

Every rigging point we supply is designed, fabricated, and tested in Australia, giving you confidence in both safety and quality.

Removable Rigging Points / ITE PhantomPoint

Removable rigging points (PhantomPoints) provide flexibility for multipurpose venues where the rigging layout changes depending on the event.

  • Quick installation/removal

    rigging eye bolts, clamps, or brackets can be attached/detached as needed.

  • 🔄
    Adaptable

    ideal for conference centres, schools, community halls, and touring productions where layouts frequently change.

  • ✔️
    Load-rated hardware

    every removable point is tested and certified for safety.

  • ⚖️
    Working load limits

    Customisable, however 250kg and 500kg rigging points are most common.

  • 👁️‍🗨️
    Minimal visual impact

    Fully removable when not in use, keeping the space clean and uncluttered.

Applications: conference centres, multipurpose venues, schools, exhibition centres, and rehearsal studios.

Fixed Rigging Points

Fixed rigging points are the backbone of any venue’s rigging system. They provide permanent, secure suspension points for lighting, audio, staging, or scenery.

  • 🔩
    Permanent & reliable

    welded, bolted, or clamped to the building’s structural steel or overhead structure, ensuring long-term safety.

  • 📐
    Custom load ratings

    engineered to meet your venue’s unique structural requirements, with clear working load limits (WLL).

  • ⚙️
    Flexible configurations

    points can be positioned to suit grids, stage layouts, or motorised hoist systems.

  • 🎭
    Variety of loads

    points are custom made to suspend chandeliers, LED walls, fixtures, scenery, battens or any other type of suspended load.

  • 👁️‍🗨️
    Discreet design

    finished to blend into the venue’s architecture while still delivering strength and safety.

  • 🇦🇺
    Australian engineered & certified

    each point comes with documentation and testing to meet compliance standards.

Applications: main theatres, professional stages, schools, multipurpose venues, and anywhere permanent suspension points are required.
