Those of us in the Marine Industry who are so used to having excellent connecting hardware right at hand because we buy regularly from Baron Hardware, America’s Leading Hardware Distributor and Supplier, certainly know how to appreciate the finer details of the components we use so often.

It is indeed an irrefutable fact that the quality of the hardware we use in our vessels is paramount and we cannot settle for anything less than the hardy corrosion resistant variety since the safety of the vessel and the mariners would depend on it. But that is a thing we never need to worry about with the products from Baron, since everyone knows about the three stages of quality-testing done at Baron to deliver totally dependable connecting hardware used extensively in boats and ships!

What are the components we use most in marine vessels? Let me list out a few of them here:

Eyebolts

Eyebolts are used to attach eyes to any surface or object so that a rope or cable can be passed through the eye. The weight that an eye bolt can support will depend on the angle of the pull. Baron Hardware has regular nut eyebolts made from galvanized forged steel, quenched and tempered for that additional durability.

Hooks and Snaps

Hooks and snaps are essential in rigging operations carried out in most marine activities. The stainless steel S hooks, like those that can be found at Baron, are of the truly versatile variety. Did you know that if you call Baron Hardware at 800-368-8585 today, you can get your order delivered within 3 days, anywhere in the USA? Useful, right?

Trigger snaps and bolt snaps are used to securely hold marine equipment, or even smaller vessels and release them easily, and only on purpose, when required. Baron Hardware has a ready stock of stainless steel swivel eye bolt snaps, rigid eye snaps, double pattern chain snaps and snaps with self-locking sleeves in a variety of specifications.

Turnbuckles

Turnbuckles are used to remove slack and manage the tension in rope systems. Turnbuckles are thus vital to the efficiency of proper performance of any rigging system in ships or the docks. The kind of turnbuckle used differs according to the place where it is employed. You can write to sales@baronhardware.com to know more about the affordable hook-eye, eye-eye, jaw-jaw, hook-hook and jaw-eye turnbuckles available at Baron.

Shackles

Shackles are load bearing connecting devices which are used to connect different kinds of chains or ropes to each other or to other objects. Shackles come in an array of shapes including the bow shackles, D shackles, long D shackles and twisted shackles which are used widely in the marine industry for rigging operations and in lifting slings. Whether you are looking for screw pin type stainless steel anchor shackles, or those made from hot dip galvanized steel, order from Baron Hardware at a price 20% less than market prices and save!

Wire ropes and Chains

Wire ropes and chains are the backbone of any rigging arrangement, not just those in the marine environment. Baron Hardware has bright fiber core, stainless steel, rotation resistant and galvanized wire ropes with different breaking strengths that can come in very handy. There is a plethora of zinc plated and stainless steel chains including sash chains, straight link chains, single jack chains, transport chains and many more at Baron and you can pick the right kind of chain connections that go with each kind too!
