Stainless steel plates and clamps

Lifting hooks, fastening plates, and wire rope clamps are fundamental elements for onboard hardware, guaranteeing safe and reliable fixings in the marine environment. Careful selection of material and dimensions is essential to ensure tightness and durability over time. Whether it's securing a handrail, a windshield support, creating an anchor point, or connecting pipes, our selection offers solutions for every need.

AISI 316 stainless steel is universally recognized as the standard for marine hardware, thanks to its exceptional resistance to corrosion caused by saltwater. Unlike galvanized steel, which deteriorates rapidly in the marine environment, AISI 316 guarantees long life and optimal performance. Investing in quality stainless steel hardware means protecting your boat and your safety.

Our range of Osculati wire rope clamps includes models in nylon and stainless steel, designed to adapt to pipes of different sizes (from 19 to 51 mm). Before placing your order, it is essential to carefully check the diameter of the pipe and the center distance of the holes to ensure perfect compatibility. An error of a few millimeters can compromise the stability and safety of the fixing. Stainless steel wire rope clamps are ideal for applications that require high strength and durability, while nylon wire rope clamps are suitable for less demanding uses.

Stainless steel fastening plates, available in a variety of shapes and sizes, offer versatile solutions for creating robust and reliable anchor points. They can be used to secure eye bolts, pulleys, cleats, or any other accessory that requires a solid and corrosion-resistant support. Their versatility makes them an indispensable element in marine hardware.

Stainless steel lifting hooks are perfect for creating quick and secure connections between ropes, chains, and other accessories. Their robustness and corrosion resistance make them ideal for use in the marine environment, where they are subjected to continuous stress and the corrosive action of saltwater.

What type of stainless steel is best suited for marine use?

AISI 316 stainless steel is the best choice for the marine environment. It contains molybdenum, which makes it significantly more resistant to corrosion than AISI 304. Avoid galvanized steel unless it is specifically treated to resist salt.

How can I protect my stainless steel accessories from corrosion?

Wash accessories regularly with fresh water to remove salt. Periodically apply a specific stainless steel protectant, which creates a barrier against galvanic corrosion.

Are nylon wire rope clamps as strong as stainless steel ones?

Nylon wire rope clamps are suitable for light applications where high mechanical strength is not required. They are cheaper and do not rust, but they cannot replace stainless steel in high load or continuous exposure situations.

How do I choose the right size of a lifting hook or fastening plate?

The size of the lifting hook or fastening plate must be proportional to the load it will bear. Consult the manufacturer's technical specifications to know the maximum capacity of each component and choose a model that offers an adequate safety margin.

Can I use wire rope clamps to secure flexible hoses?

Wire rope clamps are suitable for securing rigid pipes made of stainless steel or other materials. For flexible hoses, it is advisable to use specific hose clamps, which offer greater tightness and do not damage the hose.

Where can I find the right bolts for securing stainless steel fastening plates?

In our section dedicated to stainless steel bolts, you will find a selection of AISI 316 stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers, perfect for securing stainless steel fastening plates safely and resistant to corrosion.

What is the difference between a snap hook and a carabiner?

A carabiner has a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to be opened and closed quickly, making it ideal for frequent connections. A snap hook, on the other hand, offers greater security, as the locking mechanism is more robust and resistant to accidental opening.
