HISTORY

In the early '90s Rock Exotica designed the original version. It had the unique huge anchor hole and 4 smaller holes and was scalloped around the profile to save weight (and it looked very cool).

The original had to be thick because it used 6061 alloy, like most of the current competition, to lower cost.

Later we made the original rigplate for a big European company and it became known as the Paw. It became ubiquitous and spawned a host of copies around the world.

The only suggestions we ever heard concerning the original was that 5 holes would be better (so one would be in the center) and that it would be nice if it could be lighter. Both of these improvements are in the new PentaPlate.

Rigging Plates

TriRig

TriRig RigplatesRigging plates excel at keeping your rigging organized. They simplify the situation by multiplying anchors and keeping various lines orderly. Our plates are milled from oversize material so that ALL surfaces are machined, even the faces, for flatness, surface defect removal and precise dimensions. All edges are beautifully rounded with carbide milling cutters for a full, smooth radius
unobtainable by tumbling alone.
