FOLDING PAD EYE DOUBLE

Description

Gloma Nautica Folding Pad Eye Double

Gloma Nautica’s Folding Pad Eye Double is a robust, space-saving solution that combines dual functionality with marine-grade resilience. Manufactured in Spain using premium AISI 316 stainless steel, this fitting features two pivoting rings mounted on a single base—ideal for applications requiring multiple secure anchor points in a compact footprint ([glomanautica.com][1]).

Forged for durability rather than cast, each double pad eye exhibits exceptional tensile strength, thanks to the realignment of the metal’s internal grain structure during manufacturing. This forging process ensures maximum structural integrity, providing a fail-safe behavior where the hardware will deform under overload stress rather than fracturing—a crucial safety feature in marine and lifting environments.

The defining advantage of the double-ring configuration lies in its ability to secure two separate tie-downs, lines, or harness points simultaneously. Each ring folds down independently, lying flush when not in use. This flush-folding feature minimizes tripping hazards on decks, reduces line snags, and keeps surfaces sleek and clutter-free—perfect for sailing yachts, commercial vessels, cargo rigs, or even van interiors and architectural installations.

Constructed exclusively from AISI 316 stainless steel, this double folding pad eye offers outstanding resistance to rust, pitting, and chemical damage—even under long-term exposure to saltwater, humidity, or industrial chemicals. The 316-grade alloy’s molybdenum content enhances durability in harsh environments, making it the preferred material for reliable marine-grade components.

Each pad eye is finished with a high-polish mirror surface, giving it not only a refined appearance but also added protection against marine biofouling and surface corrosion. The pivot points operate smoothly, with minimal lateral play, while the mounting base is precision-machined and drilled for a flush fit on flat surfaces. Installation is straightforward with stainless steel screws or bolts (not included), suitable for wood, fiberglass, or metal structures.

Available in various sizes, Gloma’s double folding pad eyes offer load-rated strength for a broad spectrum of applications, from mooring and safety harness attachment to storage lashing and modular rigging setups. Whether mounted on a catamaran deck, tender garage, fishing trawler, or industrial workstation, this hardware delivers trusted reliability.

Manufactured under strict European standards at Gloma’s facility in Cabrera de Mar (Barcelona), every component undergoes rigorous dimensional and material inspections. The result is a consistent, professional-grade product with full traceability—ideal for OEM marine outfitting, architectural hardware installations, or custom rigging projects.

When space, reliability, and dual functionality are key, the Gloma Nautica Folding Pad Eye Double stands out as a high-performance solution engineered for enduring marine and industrial use.
