Expert Answers about Dock Cleats


  • What Hardware Should be Used to Install CIPA Retractable Dock Cleat
  • The CIPA Retractable Dock Cleat part # CM02100 doesn't come with hardware nor can we really advise on what you need exactly as it comes down to the specific application you'll be installing it on which will not be the same for every person. That said, if you just have a standard treated lumber dock then I would use some deck screws; either galvanized, ceramic coated, or stainless.

  • Spacing of Installation Holes on the Ericson Dock Cleat # EM53400
  • I went out into our warehouse to measure the Erickson Dock Cleat - Galvanized Steel - 6" Long # EM53400 for you. The holes are 1-1/2 inches on center. There really isn't a trick to the system you mentioned, but this cleat will hold strong if you are willing to change from the 2 inch on center cleat.

  • Recommended Hardware for the Erickson Dock Cleats
  • The Erickson Dock Cleat part # EM53501 for 4" long, part # EM53400 for 6" long, or part # EM53500 for 8" long uses a 5/16" hex head bolt. We do not offer this bolt nor does Erickson sell them as the length and finish will depend on your specific application. You can pick these bolts up from your local hardware store.

  • I went to our warehouse and measured Erickson Dock Cleat # EM53500 to get you the mounting hole spacing you need.

  • Accessories for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System like Load Stops or Tie Down Loops?
  • There are a couple of accessories for the Truck Hero Elevate Rack System part # TH92FR currently available like the Tie-Down Kit for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System - Qty 4 part # TH52FR this will give you 4 tie downs that can be put on the base sliding rails or on the cross bars themselves. They look very much like cleats like you see on a boat dock giving you the attachment point that you need to secure your cargo. They would also work as load stops to prevent whatever you have loaded...
