Defender Fuse snap-back solutions
Mooring safety device fitted between mainline and tail that elongates up to 150% as an early warning before rupture, reducing recoil risk.
Description
Defender Fuse and Defender Fuse with Surge Arrestor are mooring safety devices positioned between the mainline and tail, or between the tail and shore connection. When overloaded, an AmSteel-Blue HMPE trigger transfers load to loops of high-elongation catch material that elongate up to 150% before rupture, exposing pink material as a visual warning. The Surge Arrestor option engages before full initial elongation and establishes an additional connection of at least 75% MBLsd. Made with MoorGuard anti-recoil technology under license; introduced in 2023.
