Description
MK5 Drag Anchor | Offshore Mooring Drag Anchor | Carbon
MK5 drag anchor is for larger mobile and permanent moorings, primarily because of its principal qualities. At the time it had the best per kilo performance, generating up to 50 times its own weight in holding capacity proved suitable for all soil conditions. It proved easy to handle, easy to install, easy to retrieve. Still today over 2,200 anchors of this type are in use and supplied new to newbuild semi-submersible rigs or permanent installations.
MK5 shark It demonstrates outstanding performance in challenging soil conditions like limestone, calcarenite, dense sands, and coral. This anchor shares the same inherent qualities as the Mk5 but features enhancements including a reinforced construction, shark teeth, sharp fluke edges, and tips.

Specifications

Why It Holds
Built To Fold,
Not To Fail
Folds Flat
Stock and flukes fold to the shank. A metre of dead steel on deck becomes a flat plate for the locker or the rack.
Pinned & Tethered
A galvanised plate locks the stock open; a galvanised pin locks the flukes. Both are chained to the shank — nothing drops over the side.
Galvanised To ISO 1461
Hot-dip galvanised after fabrication. Zinc keeps protecting the steel long after paint on a lesser anchor has gone.
