The cleats are professional grade open-based cleats that are great for use on boat dock, deck and piers.
They are made to withstand the weather, fresh and, saltwater they will hold up for years to come it that harsh environment. They can be used as dock ties to tie up small boats, canoes, kayak, jet ski's, sailboats and are
prefect to hang boat fenders.

1. What is a Plastic Marine Boat Cleat?
A Plastic Marine Boat Cleat is a molded polymer deck fitting used to secure ropes (dock lines, anchor lines, mooring lines) on boats, kayaks, personal watercraft (PWCs), and docks. Its "horned" design provides a secure point to wrap and tie off lines. Plastic cleats offer lightweight, corrosion-proof, and cost-effective alternatives to metal, ideal for smaller vessels and freshwater use.
2. What types of plastic cleats do you manufacture?
We produce a comprehensive range for various marine applications:
Standard Horn Cleats: Classic "T" or "V" shape with two horns.
Pop-Up Cleats: Retractable, flush-mounted cleats for sleek decks and easy storage.
Deck Mount Cleats: Low-profile, fixed models for general use.
Anchor Cleats / Bow Cleats: Often with a central groove to guide anchor or tow ropes.
Rod Holder Cleats: Integrated with fishing rod holders.
Custom OEM Cleats: For specific boat brands or applications.
3. What plastic materials are used?
We engineer with marine-grade, UV-stabilized plastics for durability:
Nylon (PA6/PA66): Most common. Offers excellent strength, impact resistance, and UV stability. Often glass-fiber reinforced for added rigidity.
Polyethylene (HDPE/UHMW-PE): Superior chemical resistance, very low moisture absorption, and excellent toughness.
Acetal : High stiffness, low friction, and good fatigue resistance.
All materials are UV-inhibited to prevent degradation from sun exposure and available in various colors.
4. What is the load capacity (working load limit)?
Load capacity varies significantly by size, design, and material:
Small Cleats (for kayaks/PWCs): 100 - 500 kg (220 - 1100 lbs) breaking strength.
Medium Cleats (for small boats): 500 - 1500 kg (1100 - 3300 lbs) breaking strength.
Large Cleats (for docks/light mooring): 1500 - 3000+ kg (3300 - 6600+ lbs) breaking strength.
Plastic cleats are generally for light to moderate duty. For heavy mooring or large vessels, we recommend our stainless steel cleats.
5. Are plastic cleats suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, but material selection and quality are critical.
Our marine-grade nylon and HDPE are highly resistant to saltwater corrosion.
They contain UV stabilizers to combat sunlight degradation, which is accelerated in marine environments.
For permanent saltwater exposure (docks), ensure the cleat is rated for the load and environment. Inspect regularly for UV wear.
6. How are they mounted?
Installation is simple but must be done correctly:
Drill mounting holes in the deck/hull according to the cleat's hole pattern.
Apply a marine-grade sealant (e.g., silicone, polyurethane) to the base and holes to prevent water ingress.
Secure from underneath with stainless steel bolts, washers, and lock nuts. A backing plate is highly recommended for distributing load on fiberglass or thin decks.
We can supply matching 316 stainless steel mounting kits upon request.
7. What are the main advantages over metal cleats?
No Corrosion: Perfect for watercraft where rust is a concern.
Lightweight: Redounces weight, important for performance boats and kayaks.
Non-Marring: Won't scratch hulls or other gear.
Cost-Effective: Lower initial cost and maintenance.
Electrical & Thermal Insulation: Non-conductive.
8. Can you produce custom cleats with our logo?
Absolutely. We specialize in OEM and custom molding:
Custom shapes and sizes tailored to your hull design.
In-mold color integration or painting.
Embossed or debossed logos.
Custom packaging.
9. What is your MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)?
Standard Cleats: MOQ 500 pieces.
Custom Colors/OEM Designs: MOQ 2,000 pieces.
Samples: Available for testing and evaluation.
10. What is the production lead time?
Samples: 10-15 working days.
Standard Products: 20-30 working days.
Custom/OEM Products: 35-45 working days after mold/tooling approval.
11. How do you ensure quality and UV resistance?
Our quality process ensures longevity:
Material Testing: Certificates for raw resin, including UV-stabilizer content.
Impact and Load Testing: Sample cleats are tested to destruction.
Salt Spray & UV Weatherability Testing: Simulated aging tests per marine standards.
Dimensional Consistency: Molded with precision tooling.
12. Do you supply matching marine hardware?
Yes, we are a one-stop shop for marine fittings and can supply:
