The Single Bitt Bollard, often referred to as a US type Pillar Bollard, is a critical component for safe and secure vessel mooring at jetties, berths, and wharves. Its vertical design is particularly effective in locations with significant tidal ranges, allowing for steep mooring line angles without compromising safety. Manufactured from premium cast steel or ductile cast iron, these bollards are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and offer a long service life with minimal maintenance.
Key Advantages
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle working loads up to 200 tonnes or more, ensuring vessels of various sizes are securely anchored.
- Handles Steep Angles: The pillar design is ideal for ports with large tidal variations, accommodating sharp vertical and horizontal mooring line angles.
- Corrosion Resistant: Coated with a robust, multi-layer anti-rust paint system to protect against the severe effects of a saltwater environment.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality cast steel or spheroidal graphite (SG) cast iron for superior strength, impact resistance, and longevity.
- Versatile Mooring: A single bollard is capable of accepting multiple mooring lines, making it an efficient solution for busy, multi-use berths.
Our Single Bitt Bollards are manufactured to meet high industry standards and can be certified by major classification societies like ABS, GL, and LR. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including commercial ports, industrial oil and gas terminals, and ferry wharfs. The robust anchor bolt system, typically using 4 to 8 bolts, ensures a secure and stable installation onto the quay.
