Tank Traps, Floor Plates & Bases

Tank Traps, Floor Plates & Bases

Tank traps, floor plates and bases give booms, stands and lighting fixtures a stable footing at floor level. They are used for side lighting in theatre and dance, low-level positions on tour and anywhere a fixture needs to stand rather than hang.

Brands we supply

  • Doughty Engineering tank traps, floor plates and bases

  • Doughty Engineering boom arms

  • Manfrotto stands and support

What to look for

  • Size and weight: a heavier base for taller booms and more fixtures

  • Load rating: matched to the total weight on the boom

  • Fixing: spigot or tube size to suit your boom and fittings

  • Footprint: low-profile plates for tight wings and stage edges
