deadManPlate

deadManPlate rigging plate

The deadManPlate is a hot-forged rigging plate from anodized aircraft aluminium, developed by SLACKTIVITY.  It is a slackline specific rigging plate that’s designed for versatility and lightweight rigging. A big variety of anchor holes and sizes allow the plate to be used for conventional rope pulley systems, various HangOver pulley systems, and in complex highline anchors.

Because of the unique design, the deadManPlate can be used in all orientations and directions, allowing endless possibilities for connecting options. With a low weight of 304 grams and a high Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 75kN, this plate is your rigging companion for everything from lightweight setups to high-tension longlines where a bomber approach is needed.

There are three holes with built-in spacers for shackles or direct quickpin connection, which ensure that your gear always fits snug. This prevents any damage due to metal-on-metal friction. The bigger holes in the ‘face’ have smooth edges, which allows for soft connections to be made. Spansets, soft shackles, strands of static rope and our SLACKTIVITY slings work perfectly together with this rigging plate. The abundance of anchoring options also gives you enough space for back-ups and provides the perfect geometry for a HangOver-Pulley tensioning system. No matter the intended use, the deadMan plate will clean up your rig!
