Whitecap Lift Ring/Cleat - 316 Stainless Steel - 7"

The Whitecap Lift Ring/Cleat in 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade deck fitting engineered for secure attachment and load-bearing applications on boats, offshore platforms, and heavy-duty recovery equipment. With a 7-inch length and 1-1/2-inch eye diameter, this lift ring delivers the corrosion resistance and structural integrity demanded in saltwater and harsh industrial environments where standard fasteners fail.

Constructed from 316 stainless steel—the superior grade for marine applications—this fitting resists chloride corrosion far better than 304 stainless or galvanized alternatives. The 1/4-inch fastener accommodates standard deck mounting hardware, while the 5,000-pound maximum working load ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions. The lift ring's robust eye diameter provides ample space for cleats, rope, cable, or recovery equipment, making it suitable for both permanent installations and frequent load cycling without material degradation.

This product is ideal for commercial fishing vessels, sailboats, RVs with towing applications, winch systems, and industrial rigging where salt-air exposure and repeated heavy loads are the norm. The 316-grade stainless construction requires no additional corrosion protection—unlike painted or powder-coated alternatives that eventually chip and expose underlying steel to rust. Whitecap's marine hardware is specified across the recreational and commercial boating industry, where proven reliability and minimal maintenance are priorities.

When selecting deck hardware or lifting cleats, material choice determines service life. 316 stainless outlasts economical alternatives by years in coastal environments, reducing replacement and downtime costs. The 7-inch size and moderate weight make installation straightforward on most decks and structural surfaces without requiring reinforcement.
