Pillar Bollard Heavy Duty Double Head Cast Steel/Cast Iron Bollard for Marine Docking - High Strength Steel Mooring Post

Material and Manufacturing:

In the field of ship mooring, the quality and performance of bollards are directly related to the safety and efficiency of port operations. Today, we are proud to introduce our elaborately crafted flared cast-steel bollards, which have remarkable advantages in materials and manufacturing processes.

Material Advantages

The column-type mooring post adopts an **integrated molding structure**, and is divided into three parts: the column body, the base, and the top cable attachment section. The structure is compact and has strong load-bearing capacity. The material is selected to be suitable for the harsh marine environment, taking into account both strength and corrosion resistance:
1. Column body: Mainly uses Q235/Q355 carbon steel forging, stainless steel (304/316) casting or high-strength concrete pouring. The surface is treated with hot galvanizing, powder coating, and anti-corrosion coating. The thickness ranges from 8 to 50mm and can be customized as needed to ensure that it does not deform or get damaged when subjected to the tension of the mooring ropes for a long time. 
2. Base: Made of thickened steel plates or castings, it is firmly connected to the dock foundation and the concrete of the embankment through pre-installed bolts. This increases the contact area for bearing force, disperses the tension of the mooring lines, prevents the mooring posts from tipping over or loosening, and enhances the overall stability. 
3. Top mooring cable section: Designed as circular, square or with arc-shaped grooves, the surface is smooth without burrs to prevent damage to the cables; some specifications can be equipped with anti-detachment retaining rings and mooring rings, which are suitable for different thicknesses and types of ship cables, enhancing the safety of mooring. 
4. Accessories: Can be equipped with embedded bolts, waterproof gaskets, anti-corrosion covers, etc. They are suitable for outdoor and humid marine environments, thereby extending the service life.

Core performance advantage:

Core performance features:
1. Strong load-bearing capacity and excellent tensile strength: The main material has high strength and has been professionally designed for mechanical properties. It can withstand 50kN to 5000kN of cable tension, meeting the mooring requirements for everything from small yachts to large container ships and ocean-going cargo ships. The force is distributed evenly and it is not prone to deformation. 
2. Corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, with wide environmental adaptability: Surface anti-corrosion treatment (such as hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, etc.) can effectively resist seawater, salt fog, acid and alkali corrosion, resist ultraviolet rays and aging, and is suitable for various scenarios such as coastal ports, inland river docks, and marine platforms. It is unlikely to rust or be damaged when used outdoors for a long time. 
3. Stable structure, firm installation: The base is closely connected to the foundation, and the integrated column design has no joint gaps. It has strong anti-overturning and anti-loosening capabilities, and can withstand the impact forces brought by wind and water, ensuring the stability of the vessel during berthing. 
4. Convenient operation and strong adaptability: The top cable-tying structure is well-designed, making it easy to wind and fix the cables without slipping off. It comes in various specifications, which can be adapted to different widths of docks and tonnages of ships. It also supports customization of special sizes and shapes to meet individual mooring requirements. 
5. Long-lasting and low maintenance cost: Using high-quality materials combined with professional anti-corrosion treatment, the service life can reach 15-30 years. Daily maintenance is not required; only regular checks on bolt tightness and surface anti-corrosion layer are needed, thereby reducing the long-term operation and maintenance costs. 
6. Safe and reliable, with excellent protection: The surface is smooth without sharp edges or corners, preventing potential safety hazards caused by wear and tear of the cables; some specifications can be customized with anti-collision coatings and reflective markings to enhance the visibility during nighttime operations and ensure work safety.
