CMC SQUID Rig Plate

The CMC SQUID Rig Plate is a multi-planar rigging plate purpose-built for twin tension rope systems (TTRS), redundant rigging, and load-sharing applications. Unlike a conventional flat rigging plate, the SQUID uses perpendicular secondary attachment points to position multiple devices side by side while maintaining efficient alignment with the load. CMC Pro

The configuration is particularly useful for mirrored and nested systems and for bringing two rope-control devices together for simultaneous operation. Its large primary collection point supports redundant anchoring, while the secondary points help separate and align connected hardware. The SQUID naturally orients toward the load, allowing connected components to move more freely and helping reduce binding and unwanted shifting within the system. CMC Pro
