Rat Guards

Rats and other vermin can cross dock lines and even swim up to anchor chains to climb on board your boat because they are attracted by food.

The SWI-TEC Rat Guard takes up very little storage room, installs easily and can be used in port when docked or at anchor. The split-hub design allows the guards to be installed after the dock lines have been secured or the anchor has been set. No animal will get hurt.

• Rotating disc drops the rat into the water

Available in 3 sizes:

• Art. No. 1122 for Rope Ø 15-30 mm, Disc Ø 360 mm, Weight 500 gr
• Art. No. 1124 for Rope Ø 30-45 mm, Disc Ø 450 mm, Weight 900 gr
• Art. No. 1125 for Rope Ø 45-75 mm, Disc Ø 800 mm, Weight 2.7 kg

Installation: Open the grey split hub and close it around the line or chain. The inside of the central section features dual rubber baffles that close tightly around the line or chain keeping the guard in place. Depending on the model, 1 or 2 pairs of different rubber inserts are supplied for the right size of rope or chain. Then just clip on the black disc and the Rat Guard is ready for use.

Operation mode: When a rat encounters the disc and attempts to climb over it, the disc begins to spin around and the animal drops into the water. Smaller vermin are not able to climb up the slippery disc or pass through the center because the tight-fitting rubber baffles are preventing small vermin from passing through the center of the hub.
