Pad Eyes - Deck Machinery and Hull Equipment
Marine pad eyes are reinforced attachment points fitted to decks, bulkheads, hull structures, or machinery foundations. They are used for lifting, lashing, towing, securing, and rigging, with capacity determined by plate geometry, material, welds, and supporting structure.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Pad Eyes 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 | Normally engineered and fabricated to approved drawings and applicable requirements such as DNV-ST-N001, ISO 19901-6, AWS D1.1, or relevant shipyard welding standards. Material certificates, weld procedures, NDT, proof testing, and WLL marking may be required according to service. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Approval is application-specific and may be provided by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK when pad eyes form part of classed lifting appliances, towing systems, cargo securing arrangements, or critical hull structure. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install in the designed load orientation on verified supporting structure. Use approved drawings, qualified welders, and qualified welding procedures. Confirm weld size, shackle clearance, edge distances, alignment, coating restoration, NDT, and any required proof load test. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect regularly for corrosion, deformation, cracking, hole elongation, coating failure, and damaged welds. Use suitable NDT where cracking is suspected. Keep identification and WLL markings legible, and repair only under an approved procedure. |
| Safety Notes | Do not exceed the marked WLL or apply unapproved side, shock, or out-of-plane loads. Use correctly sized certified shackles and rigging. Remove the pad eye from service if cracked, distorted, excessively corroded, or if its load rating cannot be verified. |
