The Light Source Fork Adapter, Center Point, is a precision-engineered rigging link designed to safely distribute the load from a single overhead lifting point to two attachment points below. The critical specification "23.63" CTR" denotes the exact center-to-center distance between its two upper mounting pins, which is 23.63 inches. This specific measurement ensures compatibility with standardized truss end plates and rigging hardware, allowing for the creation of a perfectly balanced dual-point lift. The adapter's primary function is to connect to a single shackle or master link from a hoist or chain motor above, while its two lower pins provide individual connection points for wire rope legs or other rigging, effectively forming a stable "Y" configuration that prevents the suspended load from twisting or tilting.

Constructed from high-tensile forged steel, this black-finished adapter is built for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance in demanding production environments. The black coating is typically a durable powder coat or similar finish that protects the metal and reduces light reflection. The center-point design is crucial for load distribution; it ensures that the force from the single overhead point is evenly transferred to both lower legs, maintaining the level orientation of wide truss sections, lighting beams, scenic pieces, or other broad loads during lifting, flying, and lowering operations. This even distribution is essential for both the safety of the rigging system and the integrity of the flown equipment.

This adapter is an indispensable component in professional event rigging for concerts, theater, and exhibitions. It enables riggers to safely fly wide or long loads that require two-point pickup to maintain stability, using only a single hoist point. By providing a robust and geometrically precise interface, the Fork Adapter enhances control, safety, and efficiency in overhead rigging, ensuring that heavy and valuable production elements are suspended in a secure and balanced manner.
