Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: D-Ring Anchor w/ Backing Plate and Hardware

Today we'll be reviewing part number RR1K. These are the Brophy D-Ring Anchor with backing plate and hardware tie down points. They're made from a nice steel construction with a zinc plated finish so they're going to stand up well against rust and corrosion. They're going to have a maximum load or break strength capacity of 1200 pounds with a safe working load limit of 400 pounds. The D-Ring Anchors provide tie down points in your utility trailer or truck bed which makes these perfect for securing a rope, cargo net, bungee cord or ratchet strap. All those are sold separately.

It has a recessed low profile design that's going to help prevent the D-Ring from interfering as you roll cargo in and out of your trailer or truck bed. It also has a really nice vacuum plate that reinforces the surface of your trailer where the tie down is attached. This would simply install directly under the D-Ring anchor and on the opposite side of the mounting surface. All the mounting holes do line up well with each other so once you have everything installed you should be ready to go. It is a bolt-on installation onto the flat surface. All you need to do is cut a hole in your trailer or truck bed for the recessed portion of the D-Ring to sit inside. We can go ahead and measure that for you that way you know what size diameter hole that you are going to need to cut.

The overall length of the recessed portion is right at 3 inches. It's a 3 inch diameter hole would be sufficient to get this to fit in the floor of your utility trailer or truck bed. Then you simply just attach the vacuum plate directly underneath the D-Ring Anchor and on the opposite side of the mounting surface, so here on the backside. It does come with 3 bolts, 3 nuts and 3 lock washers. A couple measurements to go over real quick. Here on our D-Ring we actually have 3 mounting holes, pre-drilled anchor points.

If we measure from the center of the 2 outermost holes, center on center is 4 inches. From that center hole to the center of the outer hole is going to measure center to center 2 inches. Overall length of this is going to measure 5 inches. When we come to the backing plate and do our measurement here, it's going to measure about an eighth of an inch in thickness and it's going to measure about 6 and a half inches by 6 inches. Again the mounting holes are all lined up to fit the mounting holes on the D-Ring Anchor tie down. You can see here that the D-Ring actually lays out of place when not in use so that way it's going to help create or help maintain that nice flat surface in your truck bed or utility trailer.

The D-Ring bar here, the shackle has a diameter of a quarter of an inch. The recessed portion here is five-sixteenths of an inch in depth. When we measure the width of our anchor it's going to give us a measurement of three and nine-sixteenths of an inch wide. I believe that's going to do it for today's review of part number RR1K, this is the Brophy D-Ring Anchor with backing plate and hardware. .
