Quick Trigger Clamps

Trigger clamps use a spring-loaded mechanism for fast, tool-free connections between tube and fittings, built for productions where rigs need to go up and come down quickly.

MTN Shop stocks the Doughty quick trigger clamp range, popular on touring shows and temporary event structures. Compared to a standard c clamp or pipe clamp, trigger clamps let crews build and strike scaffold-based scenery, lighting rigs and staging frames significantly faster, without sacrificing a secure connection.

Standard Trigger Clamps by Tube Size

The Baby Quick Trigger Clamp covers the smallest 25-38mm tube range at 40kg WLL. The 38-51mm Slimline Quick Trigger Clamp and 38-51mm Quick Trigger Clamp, both TÜV certified, cover standard truss tube at 100kg and 250kg WLL respectively. For larger diameter tube, the Titan Quick Trigger Clamp extends to 48-80mm at 100kg WLL, and the standard 50mm Trigger Clamp (200kg WLL) covers the common truss size.

Trigger Hook Clamps

For hanging fixtures rather than joining fixed points, the 38-51mm Slimline Quick Trigger Hook Clamp and 38-51mm Quick Trigger Hook Clamp (100kg and 250kg WLL) cover standard tube, while the Titan Quick Trigger Hook Clamp 48-80mm (100kg WLL) and 50mm Trigger Hook Clamp w/M12 fixings (200kg WLL) handle larger diameter and higher-load applications.

Trigger Eye (Hanging) Clamps

Where a fixed attachment point for a safety bond is needed instead of an open hook, the 38-51mm Slimline Eye Clamp and 38-51mm Eye Clamp (100kg and 250kg WLL) cover standard tube, the Titan Eye Clamp 48-80mm (100kg WLL) extends to larger diameters, and the 48-51mm Trigger Eye Clamp (200kg WLL) rounds out the standard truss range.

TV and Broadcast Trigger Clamps

For fixtures needing a receiver rather than a direct hook or bolt connection, the 38-51mm Slimline Quick Trigger TV Clamp (100kg WLL, 29mm receiver), 38-51mm Quick Trigger Clamp with Receiver (200kg WLL), Titan Quick Trigger Clamp 48-80mm with Receiver (100kg WLL) and Trigger Clamp 50mm with Receiver (200kg WLL) all provide the fast trigger action with a receiver fitting built in.

Specialist Trigger Clamps

The 50mm Trigger Clamp with Half Connector and 38-51mm Quick Trigger Clamp with Half Connector (100kg WLL each) combine trigger action with a half connector fitting. The 50mm Trigger Clamp w/19mm Spigot (50kg WLL) and 50mm Trigger Beamer Clamp w/Lighting Pin (75kg WLL) integrate specific connection types for smaller lighting fixtures.

All Weather and Lightweight Trigger Clamps

For outdoor and touring rigs, the All Weather Trigger Clamp and All Weather Slimline Quick Trigger Clamp are built for exterior corrosion resistance. Where weight matters more than maximum capacity, the Lightweight Quick Trigger Clamp offers a reduced-weight alternative to the standard range.

Warranty and Load Ratings

All quick trigger clamps sold by MTN Shop EU are genuine Doughty stock, sourced through official distribution, so full manufacturer warranty applies as it would from the brand directly. WLL varies from 40kg on the smallest Baby range up to 250kg on the highest-rated standard clamps, so always confirm the specific model's rating and tube diameter compatibility before ordering.

Choosing the Right Trigger Clamp

Match tube diameter first (25-38mm Baby, 38-51mm standard, or 48-80mm Titan), then choose based on load and connection type: hook clamps for hanging fixtures, eye clamps where a safety bond attachment point is needed, and TV/receiver versions for broadcast fixtures. Trigger clamps generally rate somewhat lower WLL than an equivalent bolted half coupler of the same tube size, trading some capacity for speed of installation.

Preguntas frecuentes

The range covers 25-38mm (Baby), 38-51mm (standard), and 48-80mm (Titan), so confirm your tube's actual diameter before ordering, since the ranges aren't interchangeable.
A trigger clamp closes with a spring-loaded lever, making it faster to fit and remove than a half coupler, which is tightened with a spanner or Allen key. This suits touring rigs where the same clamps go on and off repeatedly, though trigger clamps generally carry a somewhat lower WLL than an equivalent bolted coupler.
A trigger hook clamp uses an open hook to hang a fixture. A trigger eye clamp has a fixed eye instead, giving a defined attachment point for a safety bond or secondary rigging.
No, the All Weather range is built specifically for outdoor installations and touring rigs exposed to rain or humidity. For a fixed indoor studio rig, the standard range is sufficient.
