Stanchion Base FAQs
What is a stanchion base?
A stanchion base, also known as a rail base, is a sturdy metal fitting used to secure stanchions or posts to the deck or floor. They provide stability and support for railings, barriers, or rope lines, typically seen on boats, docks, and other marine environments.
What materials are Hiever stanchion bases made from?
Hiever Metalworks offers stanchion bases made from high-quality marine-grade stainless steel AISI 316, heavy duty steel construction for enhancing its strength and durability.

With mirror polishing finish, the rail bases have strong corrosion resistance in the saltwater environment.
