Black-ropes & rigging-accessories.

At trade fair stands, in theaters or on festival stages, information walls, stage elements and spotlights hang on black-ropes. The black-colored ropes not only blend aesthetically into the background, but also protect the people working under or with the equipment. Rigging-accessories for rig constructions are also available in a special black color to match the black-ropes. If you would like to buy black steel cables or rigging-accessories, our experts will be happy to advise you.

Black-ropes for rigging, theater and design

Black-ropes can be used primarily in stage technology, in theaters, on exhibition stands and on festival stages. Here, for example, they are used to suspend trusses, lights, ceilings and speakers. Black-ropes are also popular in the architecture and design sector for creative projects due to their black coloring. The black-ropes from Dolezych are characterized by various features:

  • High quality level
  • Highly aesthetic material
  • The special dyeing technique ensures the special black coloration
  • An additional surface coating provides a special preservative layer, resulting in increased lubrication and color stability of the ropes

We guarantee a high-quality blackening of the ropes, but cannot guarantee the durability of the black coloring, despite having carried out long-term tests with excellent service lives. You can blacken your ropes yourself with special sets. Feel free to contact us.

Wire-rope holders for use in event technology

Wire-rope holders ensure that you can easily connect your ropes to various structures, e.g. the struts of a stair railing or a stage truss. The spring lock allows you to adjust the rope length yourself. Please note that the operational application is intended exclusively for suspending static loads at rest. To ensure maximum safety, it is advisable to use several wire-rope holders per object to be suspended and to ensure that the objects are not exposed to any movement.

When using them, you should note that...

…the wire-rope holders are not suitable for outdoor use.

…the steel cables used must not be damaged.

…the nozzle of the wire-rope holder must have a noticeable spring pressure before use.

…the wire-rope holders must be free of grease, oil, dirt and rust to ensure full load-bearing capacity.

…the wire-rope to be threaded must be closed at the end (tip bend).

…wire-rope holders may only be used in pairs to prevent the coupling part from unscrewing.

…the rope exit angle must not exceed 10°.
