FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this deckplate?
This deckplate is designed as a strong attachment point for securing items like mounting blocks, staysails, or other hardware onto a vessel's deck.
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this deckplate?
The Safe Working Load for this deckplate is 7.5 Ton (tonnes), subject to correct welding procedures being followed.
Can I weld this myself?
No, welding must be carried out by a qualified and certified person to ensure safety and structural integrity. Specific welding procedures must also be followed.
What does 'Self Colour' finish mean?
'Self Colour' refers to the natural finish of the material, typically unpainted or uncoated steel. It may require additional protective coatings for marine environments to prevent corrosion.
What are the main dimensions of the deckplate?
The key dimensions are: A: 84MM, B: 51MM, C: 75MM, D: 18.5MM, E: 34MM, F: 12MM. The eye plate size is 19mm.
Will a test certificate be provided?
Yes, a Test Certificate confirming the product's load capacity will be supplied via email.
Is this product suitable for non-marine applications?
While its design is robust, it is specifically marketed and suited for marine applications due to its welding requirement and load-bearing function in that context. Ensure suitability for other applications.
Troubleshooting
Weld appears weak or insufficient.
This is likely due to improper welding procedures. Ensure the welder followed all recommended steps, including preheating and using appropriate welding techniques. Re-welding by a qualified professional may be necessary.
Visible rust or corrosion on the deckplate.
The self-colour finish is susceptible to rust. Clean the affected area thoroughly and apply a marine-grade anti-corrosive primer and topcoat for protection.
Deckplate does not seem to hold the expected load.
Verify that the welding was performed correctly and that the load applied does not exceed the 7.5 Ton Safe Working Load. Ensure the attachment method to the eye plate is secure and rated appropriately.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High load capacity suitable for demanding marine applications.
Easy to weld onto flat surfaces due to its rectangular base.
Durable construction for long-term use in harsh environments.
Includes a test certificate for verified load capacity.
Simple, functional design.
Cons
Requires professional welding for installation, adding to setup cost and complexity.
Self-colour finish may require additional protection against corrosion in certain environments.
Specific welding procedures (preheating, avoiding short runs) must be strictly followed for safety.
Dimensions are fixed; custom sizing is not an option.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Surface Preparation: Ensure the area on the deck where the deckplate will be welded is clean, dry, and free of rust or contaminants.
Welding: This product *must* be welded by a qualified and certified welder. Adhere strictly to recommended welding procedures: always preheat the material, avoid tack welding or short, thin runs. Ensure full penetration and continuous welds.
Post-Weld Inspection: After welding, inspect the weld for integrity and strength.
Compatibility:
Designed for welding onto flat metal surfaces, primarily steel decks in marine environments.
Compatible with standard marine ropes, shackles, and mounting hardware that fit within a 19mm eye plate.
Care:
The 'self-colour' finish is a raw steel appearance. For prolonged exposure to corrosive marine environments, consider applying a suitable protective coating (e.g., marine-grade paint or primer after cleaning and preparing the surface) to prevent rust.
Regularly inspect the deckplate and surrounding weld for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
