Meat Racks & Meat Rack Spares

Touring lighting departments hang moving heads on meat racks, the wheeled transport frames that let fixtures travel with their clamps attached and ready to rig. This range centres on the Elumen8 meat rack system, from the standard frame and base unit through to the FMR lightweight foldable version, alongside compatible hardware from Global Truss and Equinox.

A meat rack earns its keep on load-in speed: fixtures come off the truck already hung on a bar, so they go straight onto truss without unboxing. When choosing, think about how the rack breaks down for transport. The FMR folds when empty, which saves truck space on runs where the rack travels more than it stores. Check bar length against the number and size of your fixtures, and remember that heavier heads fill a rack quickly. Because these frames live on trucks, replacement parts matter; open side frames, base units and locking pins, including the FMR lower locking pin, are all available separately, so a bent pin does not write off the whole rack.

Meat racks sit naturally alongside our trussing and clamp ranges, and complete touring packages can be specced with engineer-level advice before committing.

Meat Racks FAQs

What is a meat rack? The wheeled transport frame touring lighting lives on, moving heads travel hanging with clamps attached, roll off the truck and go straight to the rig. Standard frames for shop and truck, the FMR foldable for van tours.

How many fixtures per rack? By bar length and fixture size, weigh the loaded rack against castors and truck decks, and strap it like the rolling load it is.
