QTX G-Shape Mounting Hook for Stage Lighting - Silver

The QTX G-shape mounting hook is a galvanised steel clamp designed to suspend lighting fixtures from horizontal bars, truss and scaffolding poles up to 55mm diameter. The hook's G-shaped profile wraps over the top of the pole and clamps underneath using a threaded bolt and wing-nut assembly, securing the fixture without tools once the clamp is hand-tightened.

Used in stage, studio, exhibition and mobile DJ setups where lighting needs to be rigged quickly and repositioned between events, the hook suits PAR cans, moving heads, wash lights and other fixtures with a mounting bracket accepting an M10 or M12 bolt. The 20kg load rating handles most compact and mid-size stage fixtures, though heavier moving heads and wash lights should be verified against the fixture's own weight specification before rigging.

The galvanised finish provides corrosion resistance for hooks stored in flight cases or used in outdoor festival rigging where exposure to moisture is likely. The wing-nut allows the clamp to be loosened and repositioned on the pole without needing a spanner, which speeds up setup and teardown in temporary installations. The G-shape distributes clamping force across a wider contact area than a simple C-clamp, reducing the chance of the hook rotating under fixture weight.

What pole diameter does it fit?

The hook fits horizontal poles and truss bars up to 55mm outer diameter. This covers most standard scaffold poles (48mm OD) and common lighting truss tube diameters (50mm). Verify the pole diameter before purchase if working with non-standard rigging.

Does it need tools to tighten?

No. The wing-nut can be hand-tightened to secure the clamp. For critical overhead rigging where fixtures are suspended above audience areas, a final quarter-turn with a spanner is recommended to meet venue safety requirements, but for most mobile DJ and small venue use the wing-nut alone is sufficient.

What thread size is the fixture bolt?

The threaded bolt that secures the lighting fixture to the hook is a standard M10 or M12 thread (exact specification depends on batch. Contact us if you need to confirm for a specific fixture). Most stage lighting brackets accept this thread size.

Is it rated for overhead rigging?

The 20kg load rating applies to static vertical loads. For overhead rigging in licensed venues or public events, consult the venue's technical requirements and consider using secondary safety bonds in addition to the hook clamp, particularly for moving head fixtures where dynamic load can exceed static weight.
