Medium Duty Trailer Tie Down Lashing Ring
Note: Tie-down anchors must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined WLL of the anchors being used. For example, if you are using anchors with a WLL of 100 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 400 lbs, then you need at least 4 anchors to safely secure that load. It is recommended that you always use anchors in pairs.

Today we will be taking a look at the Brophy trailer bolt-on D-ring tie down, part number SR15-C. The Brophy D-ring can be a great solution for adding an additional anchor point to your trailer or truck bed. It's made out of a strong steel construction with a zinc finish so it's going to resist rust and corrosion. It's got a 5,000 pound weight capacity and it's got a 1,600 pound safe working load limit. The diameter of the mounting holes is 7/16ths of an inch and the distance between the two holes is going to be 2-1/4 inches. The entire base measures 3-1/2 inches long and it's going to be 1-3/16ths wide. The D-ring itself is a nice 3/8ths of an inch thick and it's going to be 2-1/4 inches long. Now that we've gone over some of the features let's go ahead and show you how to install it.
We've got our generator on our trailer here today and we just want to tie it down. We've got a D-ring on this side of our trailer. What we was is our Brophy ring as an additional anchor point. I'm going to go ahead and place it right here as my desired location and then I'm going to mark those holes out. Once we've got those marked out go ahead and remove the D-ring, that way we can drill those out.
Then we will grab our D-ring. We are going to place it over our holes to make sure everything is all lined up. You will need to provide your own hardware. We are just going to use these two bolts here today, along with two nuts, and two washers. We will go ahead and place those through, then I'm going to go underneath and put the nut and washer in place.
I'm going to go ahead and take the nuts and washers and hand tighten them down. Once I get them both in place I'm going to have a buddy go up there and ratchet them down while I hold them in place. That's going to do it. Now with our D-ring in place the only thing left to do it to put it to good use. Take our strap, run it through, and tighten that down. All right.
We are all set to do. That's going to complete our look at the Brophy trailer bolt-on D-ring tie down, part number SR15-C. .

The D ring tie downs are like brand new, after a year. I use them all the time and have had other people look at them and ask about them. I have a cover on my truck bed so the D rings are protected from the weather. I would highly recommend these for the purpose that I am using them. Most people will use them on or in their trailers but if you need a really good replacement tie down for your truck bed side tie downs these are great!

The tie downs are working perfectly. No issues and I would buy these again. Sturdy and well built.

OK, its been a year and my d-rings look as if I installed them yesterday. Im completely satisfied. If anything, I wish I had a couple more to mount in between the other two pairs of rings. You cant have too many places to hook bungees and the floor is the best place for them.

No change - still performing as needed. I have NO concern that the D-ring attachment, bolted to the frame of my Dodge Ram 3500, will be the weak point in any rigging.

A year later and the D-Rings are still awesome. Zero rust or signs of wear. I just used them again yesterday.

A year after installation and being in the elements, they’re still perfect. No rust and strong as ever.

Your D-ring tie-downs look brand new after enduring multiple severe Nor-eastern storms on Cape Cod. I just re-hung the sun shades over our deck, and your product makes that simple, straight forward and secure. Couldnt be happier. I expect them to be in service for many years to come!
