Cleats - Deck Machinery and Hull Equipment
Marine cleats are fixed deck fittings with two horns used to secure mooring, towing, tender, and utility lines. They are manufactured from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, or reinforced polymers and selected according to line load, deck structure, and vessel service.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Cleats for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Small-craft cleats and their supporting structures may be designed and tested as strong points under ISO 15084 or ABYC H-40. Material, welding, fastening, corrosion protection, and proof-load requirements depend on the vessel specification and applicable flag or class rules. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Cleats are not universally supplied with standalone type approval. For classed vessels, the fitting, attachment, supporting deck structure, material certificates, welds, and required load tests may be reviewed by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK under project-specific rules. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install on a reinforced deck foundation using approved welds or marine-grade through-bolts, backing plates, locking hardware, and bedding compound where applicable. Align the cleat with the expected line lead and verify deck strength and safe working load. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect regularly for cracks, deformation, loose fasteners, weld defects, corrosion, coating damage, and deck leakage. Clean salt deposits, renew protective coatings, and replace damaged fittings or fasteners before further loading. |
| Safety Notes | Do not exceed the engineered working load or use an unverified cleat for heavy towing. Keep personnel clear of loaded lines and snap-back zones, avoid sharp line leads, and never stand within a bight of rope. |
