Manufacturing
Forged, machined and finished under one roof
Hot forging concentrates grain flow where the load path runs. Everything after that — turning, milling, drilling, polishing — happens in our own shop, so a dimension never drifts between suppliers.
-
Closed-die hot forging
Shackle bodies and pad eyes are forged, not cast, so grain follows the curve of the bow instead of being cut through it.
-
In-house 5-axis machining
Sheave grooves, bearing races and thread forms are cut on the same machines every run, batch after batch.
-
Electropolished finish
Passivation plus electropolishing removes free iron and lifts pitting resistance well beyond a mechanical polish.

Quality Testing
Every claim we publish is backed by testing
Every product is tested in our own facility before it is approved, then sampled again with each production batch. The figures we publish are conservative, never taken from the best sample.
-
Rated with a generous safety margin
Published figures are deliberately conservative, so there is room to spare in real-world use.
-
1,000-hour salt spray qualification
Every new finish passes a 1,000-hour salt spray corrosion test before it reaches a catalogue page.
-
Documentation travels with the goods
Quality records ship with every order and stay on file for ten years.
Assurance & Service
Certification, traceability and supply you can plan around
Documentation travels with the goods: quality records and batch numbers accompany every order.
Quality Management
Production runs under a documented quality system with first-article inspection on every new tool and annual internal audit.
Material Traceability
Mill certificates are matched to heat numbers and stamped batch codes, so any fitting on deck can be traced back to its melt.
Stock & Lead Time
Catalogue products ship from stock in five working days; scheduled orders are held against your forecast.
OEM & Private Label
Drawing-to-part development, custom finishes and your own part marking from 250 pieces per line.
