Harken Micro Carbo-Cam Cleat

The Harken Micro Carbo-Cam Cleat is a precision load-management component designed for applications that require controlled tensioning and secure line holding under dynamic conditions. Originally developed for marine rigging, this compact cleat is ideal for vehicle recovery systems, winch line management, and specialty automotive rigging where space and weight are critical factors.

The Micro Carbo-Cam design utilizes a camming action that multiplies holding force—the harder the load pulls, the tighter the grip on the line. Its construction combines materials to deliver strength while minimizing added weight, which is crucial for vehicles operating near payload limits. The cleat is engineered to prevent slip-back when properly seated, eliminating the need for secondary locking mechanisms.

This cleat benefits mechanics and fabricators who demand premium load-holding without excess bulk, particularly those integrating recovery gear, synthetic winch lines, or auxiliary rigging into truck beds and chassis modifications. Its compact profile makes it mountable in tight spaces where traditional oversized cleats won't fit, ensuring versatility in various applications.
