Not sure if this is heavy duty enough for your application but I found it pretty effective for making points on our grid for things like scenery, effects speakers, and mirror balls.
Spreading a one ton point load over enough area is critical, maybe some of reason SR rig is so large. At 75 PSF, not unusual, that's over 13 SF. There may be other designs but I'm not comfortable with a 2' pipe without a lot more information. And my guess is Footer has this, but for the wider audience, be careful.
@rochem, I thought about the angle iron as well. Was considering doing that or some type of square. Did you have any issue spreading the basket when putting the pipe through? That is my only real issue there.
I have a 1100# concentrated load allowed on each channel iron of my grid. Last summer we doubled the steel that runs SL/SR from the wells that supports the channel iron to 2'6" centers. Plenty of room to do this. If you have one of the newer more typical steel grate grids your SOL on this. One more reason I don't like that style of grid.

I dislike bar grate grids and catwalks. And generally more expensive than channels, so not hard to sell.
