Docking piles are designed based on the berthing capacity and type of wharf structure, ensuring safe and reliable operations for ship mooring, unmooring, berthing, and turning. The docking piles consist of a housing, anchor bolts, nuts, washers, anchor plate, and core filling material. Available in cast iron (HT200) and cast steel (ZG230-450), the specifications range from 50KN to 2000KN.
Available for various uses, we offer standard mooring piles, storm mooring piles, and trial run mooring piles, among others.
The center position of the ordinary mooring pier is generally about 0.5 to 0.8 meters from the front line. Being too close can be easily struck by ships during berthing and departure, and is also unsafe for cable handling operations; too far back hinders the operation of loading and unloading machinery and may damage the cables. For shipyard and ship repair docks, due to the presence of facilities like electrical boxes at the front, it is required that the mooring pier be slightly farther from the front line, approximately 0.8 to 1.0 meters.
Storm anchors are used to secure ships during storms and are typically located at the rear of the dock. Some ports do not have storm anchors due to the rarity of typhoons or because ships are not in port to seek shelter from strong winds. In other ports, to avoid hindering the operation of loading and unloading machinery, storm anchors are not additionally installed at the rear of the dock; instead, the size of the regular mooring posts is increased to make them usable during strong winds.
