In which cases do you use bollards?
Bollards are similar to cleats, but are specifically designed for heavier loads and larger vessels. They are often placed in strategic locations on board, such as the center of the bow and the corners of the transom of the vessel. Due to their sturdy construction and larger attachment eyes, bollards are ideal for mooring large boats, where a thicker line is required to keep the boat securely in place.
Benefits of Bolders
Heavy Duty Fastening : Bollards are designed to handle heavy loads, with fastening eyes strategically placed to distribute forces evenly.
Suitable for Thick Lines : Due to their larger size, bollards can accommodate thicker lines, which is essential for securely mooring larger boats.
Various Mounting Options : Available in both bolt and weld mounting options depending on the specific installation requirements of your boat and mooring location.
Sturdy Mounting : Bollards are usually attached with larger bolts or self-tapping screws, which provides a stable and secure anchoring.
Types of Bollards and Mounting Options
Bolt-on : Bolt-on bollards are ideal for boats where extra stability is needed. The bolts provide a strong attachment, especially for heavier boats.
Weld-on : For permanent installation, weld-on bollards are a good option. They are firmly welded to the deck or jetty, which provides an extremely stable attachment.
Sizes and Capacities : Bollards come in a variety of sizes to suit different types of boats and mooring situations. Choose the right size based on the size and weight of your boat.
