About the The Light Source M140 Track Hanger Double, 6" Center, Silver
The Light Source M140 Track Hanger Double in silver is a precision rigging component designed for suspending two parallel runs of lighting track or structural tubing from a single overhead anchor point. Engineered with a fixed 6-inch center-to-center spacing, this hanger ensures exact and consistent separation between two tracks, which is critical for creating organized, symmetrical, and highly functional lighting grids in both theatrical and architectural installations. The silver finish, typically achieved through a plating process or from the natural mill finish of aluminum, provides a clean, metallic appearance and offers corrosion resistance. Constructed from high-strength aluminum or steel, the hanger is built to support considerable weight while maintaining its dimensional accuracy, ensuring the tracks remain perfectly parallel and level under load.
The hanger's design features a central vertical member that connects to the overhead structure via a clevis pin, bolt, or shackle. At the base of this vertical member, two horizontal arms extend outward, each terminating in a secure track attachment mechanism, such as a cradle or clamp tailored to grip a specific track profile. The precisely measured 6-inch spacing between these attachment points allows installers to create dual track runs that are perfectly aligned. This precision enables predictable positioning of lighting fixtures, ensures even light distribution, and facilitates neat cable management between the tracks. The rigid construction prevents twisting or shifting, contributing to the overall stability and professional finish of the installation.
This component is an essential element in building sophisticated lighting infrastructures for venues such as television studios, performing arts centers, museums, and retail spaces where multiple lighting circuits or different fixture types need to be mounted on closely spaced, parallel tracks. By using a double hanger, installers reduce the number of individual suspension points required, streamlining the installation process and guaranteeing a uniform and robust overhead framework. The Light Source M140 Track Hanger Double in silver provides a reliable, engineered solution for achieving precise and durable multi-track suspension in demanding professional environments.
