Qingdao Waysail Ocean Technology Co., Ltd. recently completed the delivery of a batch of one-piece injection-molded HDPE fish cage brackets for an overseas marine aquaculture customer. The supplied components were produced for use as L-shaped sea cage stanchions within a floating fish cage structure.
The rope termination is one of the most highly loaded areas in a mooring system. When a synthetic rope is spliced into an eye, the rope end must transfer load to a shackle, chain, connection plate or another fitting. A reinforced tubular thimble provides a shaped protective interface inside the rope eye. Its tubular structure helps support the splice and separates the rope fibres from direct contact with the adjacent metal connector. For large-diameter mooring ropes and demanding marine applications, the tubular thimble is a good choice.
We recently completed the delivery of a batch of G80 lifting chains for an industrial lifting application. G80 lifting chain is widely used in chain slings and industrial rigging assemblies where a compact, durable and load-bearing chain component is required. It is commonly combined with master links, shackles, connecting links, hooks and other lifting hardware to form a complete load path between the crane and the lifted load.
K3B thimble with master link assemblies can be considered for various mooring applications where a synthetic rope requires a protected eye termination and a direct hardware connection, like Aquaculture Mooring Systems, Floating Solar and Marine Floating Structures, Buoy and Marine Facility Moorings, Marine Handling and Selected Rigging Applications.
