Schaefer Mid-Rail Chock/Cleat Stainless Steel - 1-1/4"

The Schaefer Mid-Rail Chock/Cleat Stainless Steel - 1-1/4" (MPN 70-75) is a marine-grade hardware component engineered for securing lines, cables, and rigging on vessels with mid-rail mounting systems. Originally designed for maritime and waterborne operations, this chock has proven invaluable in tactical field operations, training environments, and equipment staging where rope management and load-bearing hardware demand corrosion resistance and reliable hold-fast capability. Whether deployed aboard ship, on floating platforms, or in challenging outdoor operational theaters, the mid-rail chock provides the structural integrity operators depend on when working with rope systems under load.

Constructed from stainless steel, the Schaefer mid-rail chock resists saltwater corrosion, UV degradation, and oxidation—critical for long-term durability in salt-spray and humid operational environments. The 1-1/4" throat opening accommodates standard rope diameters while the chock's smooth, radius-designed surfaces prevent line chafing and maintain consistent tension without crimping or pinching cordage. The compact 3 x 2 x 9 inch footprint and 1.6-pound weight make it easy to integrate into existing rail systems or install on new rigging frameworks without adding significant bulk or weight penalty. Stainless steel hardware ensures minimal maintenance and reliable performance across extreme temperature ranges and challenging weather exposure.

Tactical and maritime professionals choose the Schaefer Mid-Rail Chock/Cleat Stainless Steel - 1-1/4" for applications requiring permanent or semi-permanent rope management on vessel gunwales, deck rails, and field rigging installations. Installation requires standard fastening to existing mid-rail systems; the chock's Schaefer Marine engineering ensures compatibility with industry-standard rail widths and mounting geometries. Teams operating in coastal, riverine, or water-adjacent environments benefit most from the corrosion-resistant design, while land-based tactical operations value the lightweight, durable construction for expedient rigging and load-bearing applications where equipment longevity and minimal maintenance downtime are operational priorities.
