Doughty Engineering is a world leading manufacturer of rigging, suspension and lifting equipment for the film, TV and theatre industry.

Our industry knowledge, outstanding customer service and high standards have made us the go-to brand for entertainment professionals, providing off the shelf or bespoke solutions to even the most demanding and challenging of projects.

Over the years, cheaper imitations have come to market but with Doughty you can be guaranteed of a quality and standard that cannot be replicated. We design and manufacture all our products in-house at our factory in Ringwood, Hampshire in the UK which means we have complete control over every item that comes off the production line. So, if it doesn’t say Doughty on the outside, it’s not Doughty on the inside!
