Rapid Marine, market leader for lifting slings and tie down kits, has been nominated for a DAME Design Award for its Universal Chocks in the Deck Equipment category.
Our Universal Chocks are designed and manufactured in the UK, providing a secure solution for boat owners and their Tender or Jetski. The award-winning Universal Chocks can support 99% of Tenders and Jetskis up to 1500kg, promising an in-stock, off-the-shelf solution to an age-old issue within the boating industry.
Handcrafted in Iroko, the Universal Chocks are self-adjusting and load spreading. When the Tender or Jetski arrives at the bathing platform, the support pads adjust to each hull shape for safe and secure stowage, meaning there is no need for human operation. In the highly competitive market, our Universal Chocks differ from other designs offering a unique and reliable stowage option.
The Chocks are supplied with a selection of deck fittings, in which the Universal Chocks sit. This makes the Chocks easy to remove when not required, with a simple ‘push to fit and pull to remove’ system, giving the owner a hazard-free bathing platform. The versatile design also means that if a customer changes their Tender or Jetski later down the line, the Chocks will still provide continued support.
When it comes to premium Tender and Jetski accessories, Rapid Marine has a wealth of experience. Manufacturing innovative accessories for Tenders and Jetskis is the drive behind Rapid Marine. We pride ourselves on using the highest-quality materials for deck equipment; all our products are designed and developed in-house to support the industry worldwide.
We’re proud to have been recognised by the DAME Design Awards, and look forward to showcasing
our shortlisted Universal Chocks at the METSTRADE Show this month.
Mike Evers, Designer and MD of Rapid Marine, said:
“If someone is buying a Tender or Jetski for their boat, in most cases it will require lifting, placing on Chocks and then securing to the bathing platform or flybridge. That’s where we come in. Our awardwinning Rapid Padeyes and now the Universal Chocks, along with our comprehensive range of ratchet strap assemblies, ensure a complete on-deck stowage package for boat owners.”
