PERFORMANCE ROPE HOLDING
Simple solutions for secure line management
Clamcleat rope cleats offer a secure, efficient method for managing lines and cords. Whether on sailboats, kayaks or tents, or in industrial settings controlling conveyor belts or cargo nets, Clamcleats Ltd offer a reliable solution for securing and adjusting tension with ease.
Our mechanism is simple; serrated grooves act like teeth, engaging the line when pressure is exerted upon them.This tension holds the line firmly in place, until the tension is broken by a short upwards and backward pull, releasing the line from the jaw
Made from durable materials and no moving parts to break or seize, Clamcleat rope cleats will stand the test of time even in demanding conditions.
Durable materials you can trust
The robust construction of Clamcleat ensure reliable performance in all sectors, with a range of materials available to suit any application:
Marine grade nylon offers great value for money, for both production builder and sailor alike. Nylon cleats are corrosion resistant and designed to endure the outdoors, ideal for most applications where high loads or rope surges are not likely to be encountered. Aluminum cleats are strong and heat resistant. They are unaffected by the heat generated by surging ropes, whilst also maintaining their strength in sub-zero conditions.Their resistance to corrosion is also good. All of our popular aluminum cleats are offered with a hard anodised finish.Anodisation not only provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion, but also improves appearance, minimizing the impact of scratches and blunt forces.
PERFORMANCE ROPE HOLDING
Our extensive material research has shown aluminium to be far better for high performance cleats than any polymer, irrespective of fibre reinforcements or additives. These factors make aluminium cleats the best choice for demanding applications.
Customisation
Our standard colours are shown in this brochure, however special colours are available to order at request. Similarly, if there is a requirement for special models or adaptations to existing products, our designers are on hand ready to bring new ideas and applications to life. Our own in-house research and toolmaking facilities can bring your project to fruition. Visit plasticmoulding.net to see our manufacturing capabilities and a selection of case studies.
Installation and applications
Most cleats are provided with countersunk fixing holes. Countersunk (flathead) screws or bolts of the recommended size should be used; bolts being preferred. If using rivets with a powered fixing gun, ensure the pressure is not set too high. Fastenings must be entered straight so the heads do not protrude and snag the rope. Several cleats have been designed with a groove in the base, enabling them to be fitted to both flat and curved surfaces. See page 19 for help with Installation.
