4 Pack Recessed D-Ring

Very well made.

This kit had everything I needed to install some great recessed deck tie down loops on my utility trailer. I liked that the backing plate was slightly offset. This allowed me to rotate it to fit against my frame. On another similar plate I got from the trailer retailer, the plate was centered…and I had to use an angle grinder to cut about 1/4” off that backing plate. This one was offset, so one side was closer to the edge. I put that edge near the frame, so the excess overhang was towards the inside of the trailer. The holes are NOT symmetrical, fyi. So doing that trick meant the eye loop folded laterally to the trailer. But that’s perfect for my application (center span tie town). The materials are good: galvanized steel and nylock nuts so they don’t rattle loose. Carriage bolts in a square hole, so one person can install them…even if you can only reach one side at a time (top or bottom). The hardest part was hogging out the wood so the recessed part would fit. The trailer guys said they just use a 3” hole saw and cut all the way thru. I am nervous to weaken the deck board by removing 50% of it. So, I only went down about 1” and used a router to hog out the cavity. And a little more by the bolt the eye loop rotates on to adjust the fit. Then drilled a 3/8” weeping hole all the way thru in the center for drainage. Put some copper stuff in there to avoid rot. That leaves 3/4” of wood thickness. This holds great on my other 4 similar tiedowns. First 4 I did with a hole saw and chisel. Next two I used a hole saw and router. I can’t say which was easier. Either way. These are great value and sturdy. I’d buy them again.

Needed to add in a few more D-Ring anchors to my enclosed trailer and these were an exact match to what I already have. The screw they come with are a bit on the short side but they do seem to hold very well and have strapped a lot of cargo down with some force so they nothing will move around during transport. Installation was as simple as screwing in two screws and you are ready to anchor down almost anything.

I purchased four of these to tie down heavy equipment inside my utility trailer. The are robustly made and come with a backing plate, four carriage bolts, and lock nuts. Because they are recessed I need to cut material away from the trailer floor to mount these. The only issue I have with these are the weight rating. The manufacturer rates them at 6,000 pounds but that is the weight at which they fail. The recommended maximum service rating is 2,000 pounds.

Excellent for price. I have only used for light items. Does not come with bolts.

Really good heavy duty D-rings

These arw great!. I appreciate that they came with bolts. The backing plate made it easy to lay out placement and drill the holes. Once installed they hold my lawnmower and a load of plywood after. Put straps on and cinched tight they never felt like they were going to fail. Recommended then to other friends already

I attached these to the frame and removable sides of a 4x8 flat trailer I have. They are easy to install, well weighted for their size, and handle tensioned ratchet straps well.

Anchors work very well and are used in a work trailer

motorcycle tiedown

Exellent

I would have given 5 stars if it arrived with a template to cut into the trailer floor. And if it arrived with backing plates. Even a link to buy the backing plates would be helpful.
