Specifications
- Bow (anchor) pattern
- WLLs stocked - 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3250, 4500, 4750 and 8500 kg

The Alloy Bow Shackle is a bow-pattern (anchor) shackle used to connect rigging components such as slings, steels and hoist hooks. The rounded bow gives more room inside the shackle than a D-shackle, so it can take more than one sling eye or a wider fitting. Cloud One's stock record lists bow shackles at ten working load limits, from 250 kg up to 8,500 kg, with the 1,500 kg and one 3,250 kg line kept separately as installation types. The size supplied depends on the load and on what it has to connect.

PA Tower - 9.8m
The Alustage PA Tower is a wind-up lifting tower used to raise loudspeaker systems, including line arrays, above an audience. Cloud One's stock record identifies it as an Alustage tower: a mast of Quadro 390 truss on a PDS 05.01 HD tower base, with an NDS 390.06.00 header block at the top and a hand-cranked PDS 12.00 winch assembly, braced by 2.6 m legs and RP-Fi50 diagonal braces. Each leg frame is ballasted with a 600 litre water tank. The 9.8 m in the name is the maximum trim height, the height the load is hoisted to, not the height of the tower.
