RCF FLB60696 Fly Bar Pickup for Two-Motor Rigging

RCF FLB60696 Fly Bar Pickup Tab for Two-Motor Rigging

The RCF FLB60696 is a dedicated fly bar pickup tab with shackle designed to expand the rigging options of compatible RCF arrays when you need to fly systems with two motors. Intended to be added to the flybar, it creates an additional pickup point so loads can be shared and balanced according to RCF’s rigging design for each system.

RCF describes FLB60696 as a Pickup Tab with Shackle for KX 4-A Series, HDL 6-A, HDL 12-AS, HDL 26-A, HDL 35-AS, HL 6 and HL 35-S, with pins included. The accessory carries part number 13360696 with model code FLB60696 and EAN 8024530023027, finished in black and listed as CE compliant for professional use.

Despite its compact 0.8 kg / 1.76 lbs weight, the FLB60696 plays a critical role in more advanced hangs, especially when arrays or clusters are suspended from two motors or hoists. It is delivered in a package with approximate dimensions of 60 × 285 × 145 mm and a shipping weight of about 1.2 kg / 2.65 lbs, making it easy to stock in cases alongside your primary fly bars.

Real-World Applications and System Roles:

• Adding a second pickup point to RCF fly bars when rigging with two motors, as specified by RCF.
• Supporting flown configurations of HDL 6-A, HDL 12-AS, HDL 26-A, HDL 35-AS, HL 6, HL 35-S using compatible fly bars.
• Providing pickup options for KXL 4-A, KXW 4-A, TTL 4-A, TTP 4-A, TTW 4-A systems listed as compatible.
• Standardizing two-motor pickup hardware across small to mid-size RCF arrays in rental and touring fleets.
• Helping Chicago production companies and DJs safely fly RCF systems in theaters, ballrooms, and corporate venues that require dual-motor hangs.

Two-Motor Pickup Solutions for Compact RCF Arrays

Many modern venues and productions call for two-motor rigging, whether to share load between hoists, adjust array tilt, or meet venue-specific suspension requirements. The RCF FLB60696 is built for exactly that situation, serving as a pickup tab with shackle that attaches to compatible fly bars when you move beyond single-motor hangs.

Because pins are included, the FLB60696 integrates cleanly with the fly bar rather than relying on improvised hardware. This helps keep your arrays aligned with RCF’s intended rigging geometry while giving system techs the additional control they need when working with two motors or hoists.

One Pickup Accessory for HDL, HL, KX, and TT Systems

Instead of requiring a different pickup solution for each array family, RCF lists FLB60696 as compatible with a broad set of systems. That includes compact HDL arrays and subs, HL line array elements and flyable subs, and selected KXL, KXW, TTL, TTP, and TTW models. For rental houses and production companies, this means a single accessory can be standardized across multiple RCF rigs, simplifying spares and training.

Crews can build muscle memory around one pickup tab and shackle, knowing that when they see FLB60696 in the case, it is the approved solution for two-motor configurations on many of their RCF arrays, subject to the specific rigging diagrams for each system.

Lightweight Hardware with Practical Packing Details

The FLB60696 is specified with a weight of 0.8 kg / 1.76 lbs, which is light enough to handle quickly at height or during tight changeovers. Shipping dimensions of roughly 60 mm (height) × 285 mm (width) × 145 mm (depth) and a 1.2 kg / 2.65 lbs shipping weight make it straightforward to store multiple pickup tabs in a small drawer, compartment, or rigging case.

In day-to-day use, those compact dimensions help keep the hardware easy to organize. It is simple to dedicate one or more FLB60696 units to each fly bar or array package, so there is no question about where the two-motor pickup accessories are when it is time to fly a system.

How to Deploy the RCF FLB60696 in the Field

Deployment of the FLB60696 starts with the fly bar. Identify the compatible fly bar for your RCF system and confirm that you are rigging with two motors, as the pickup tab is explicitly intended to be added to the flybar when rigging with 2 motors. Follow RCF’s rigging documentation to locate the approved mounting positions on the frame.

Attach the FLB60696 pickup tab to the fly bar using the included pins at the positions shown in the official diagrams for your specific array. Once the pickup tab is secured, the integrated shackle can be used as a connection point for a second motor or hoist, allowing the load to be shared or adjusted according to the design. Always respect the rigging limits and procedures specified by RCF and any local regulations.

For touring and rental inventories, many crews assign FLB60696 units directly to the fly bar cases for HDL 6-A, HDL 12-AS, HDL 26-A, HDL 35-AS, HL 6, HL 35-S, KXL 4-A, KXW 4-A, TTL 4-A, TTP 4-A, TTW 4-A. That way, when a Chicago ballroom, theater, or outdoor event calls for two-motor hangs, the correct pickup hardware is already in the rigging kit.

Treat the FLB60696 as your dedicated two-motor pickup solution—when it lives with every compatible fly bar, your RCF arrays are always ready for safe, balanced hangs in demanding venues.
