Rigging plate
A load-rated metal plate with several attachment holes that lets multiple uplines connect at one place without crowding.
A rigging plate is a metal plate with room for several attachment points, made by rigging-hardware manufacturers for setups that gather many connections in one place, such as rescue or stunt rigging. In rope suspension it gives the uplines a common connection point where each can be attached at its own place on the plate. Shay Tiziano of Twisted Windows lists it with the suspension ring as hardware that keeps uplines apart and orderly, so that connection points are less crowded and jams less likely. As with rings, the guide advises using only load-rated or tested equipment from a reputable source.
