Buoy weight 70 kg – For attaching buoy and dock
The buoy weight is an effective tool for attaching and securing buoys and docks. It is made of high-quality steel and painted gray for additional protection against rust. The robust and angular structure is designed to sink effectively into muddy bottoms or grip boulders, making it an ideal solution for lake and marine use.
Features and benefits:
- Durable construction: Made of steel and painted to ensure rust protection.
- Effective anchoring: Designed to sink into the bottom or grip for maximum stability.
- Strong lashing eye: Equipped with a sturdy eye for securely attaching a buoy rope or chain.
- Stable attachment: The buoy weight does not rotate under load thanks to its angular projections, but sinks into the mud with the attachment arc pointing towards the shore. This ensures that the weight remains in place.
- Flexible installation: For floating docks, it is recommended to use two or four buoy weights, depending on the size and shape of the dock. It is advisable to arrange the chains or ropes diagonally for better damping and stability.
Recommended use:
- Buoy attachment: Very effective, especially on muddy bottoms, where the buoy weight sinks and sticks firmly.
- Dock attachment: Perfect for securely attaching docks in a variety of environments.
- Rope length: Use a chain or buoy mooring rope that is approximately 3–4 times the water depth.

Things to note
- Rust does not occur when the material is in an oxygen-free environment, such as in a muddy bottom.
- On rocky bottoms, a float can be attached to the rope, which reduces wear and protects bottom vegetation.
