These are forged steel towing rings — also referred to as pull rings, mooring rings, lashing rings, or deck pad eye rings, depending on who is writing the specification. Each unit consists of a square base plate, a swivel link, and a heavy forged ring. The ring measures approximately 8–9 inches in outer diameter. The base plate is designed for welding or bolting to a deck, bulkhead, or other structural member. This run was manufactured to a custom drawing and submitted for ABS (Eagle) type approval.
Classification society approval — whether ABS, Lloyd's Register (LRS), or equivalent — means the design, material, and manufacturing process have been reviewed and witnessed by third-party surveyors. Most companies assume this is only practical at production scale. It is not. We have taken custom hardware through ABS and LRS certification on runs as small as a few dozen pieces. The process is the same regardless of quantity: engineering drawing review, material certificates traced to the mill, witness testing at the manufacturer, and final certification stamp. The difference is that we know how to coordinate it efficiently at low volume without the overhead that makes small orders uneconomical elsewhere.
If you need deck fittings, towing hardware, mooring points, or any structural marine component built to a custom drawing and certified by a classification society — in quantities that a large manufacturer would not entertain — that is the work we do. We handle the engineering liaison, material sourcing, manufacturing coordination, and surveyor scheduling. The rings in these photographs are one example. The catalog has others.
