Doughty T54250 Tank Trap

The industry standard. The Doughty T54250 Tank Trap provides the means to support a 48mm vertical tube or scaffold pole. Versatile, robust, and seen all over event and production sites. It is ideal for creating compact lighting stands, side lighting positions, drape supports and a whole host of other applications.

Constructed from a 600mm square mild steel plate with a 48mm receiver welded to it. The receiver is 300mm long with two wingnuts to secure the supported pole. Adding the 5mm plate thickness, the top of this receiver is 305mm from the ground (almost exactly 1 foot). There is a cut out in the base to allow compact stacking for transport and storage, and a handle cut out for easier carrying.

Supplied by IPS in a Black painted finish, the tank trap is also sometimes known as a boom base. We also have a full range of aluminium scaffold tube (scaff) and all kinds of clamps and joiners ready to hire here. Our 20kg stage weights are ideal for use with these stands to give additional support if needed. Full manufacturer specification from Doughty here. Larger quantity tank trap hires from IPS are usually sent out strapped to a pallet.

The vertical support in these tank traps is in the centre of the base plate. If you are looking for an alternative configuration, we also stock the three position version of this product. This enables the support to either be in the middle, the middle of one edge, or the far corner of the plate. This is very handy when trying to get vertical uprights as close to a wall as possible. Alternatively if you are planning a drape or starcloth wall type installation, our Wentex Pipe & Drape system is also worth considering.

IPS have a significant stockholding of the Doughty T54250 Tank Trap, with over 150 units in our hire stock.
