Zinc-plated, corrosion resistant steel D-ring creates an attachment point for tie-down straps and bungee cords wherever you need cargo control. The recessed design allows you to roll cargo over the ring. Includes backing plate and mounting hardware.
Features:
- Tie-down anchor provides a solid point to secure your cargo with straps or bungee cords
- D-ring 90-degrees so you can attach straps from multiple angles
- Recessed design allows cargo to slide over the ring without interference
- Included backing plate provides greater support than mounting the anchor directly to wood
- Zinc-plated steel construction resists corrosion and retains its strength through repeated use
- Simple, bolt-on installation with mounting hardware
- Includes 4 Nuts, 4 lock washers, and (4) 3/8" x 2-1/4" bolts
Specs:
- Maximum load (break strength): 5,000 lbs
- Working load limit: 1,600 lbs
- Anchor:
- Bezel dimensions: 4-1/2" wide x 4-7/8" tall
- Ring diameter: 1/2"
- Inner ring diameter: 1-3/8"
- Recess dimensions: 3-3/8" wide x 3/4" deep
- Bolt hole dimensions: 3/8" wide x 3/8" tall
- Bolt size: 3/8" diameter x 2-1/4" long
- Backing plate dimensions: 6-1/2" wide x 6-1/2" tall
- 1-Year limited warranty
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.

I ordered 6 recessed D-rings Monday evening about 8 Pm. They arrived Wednesday morning 10. I live in Northern Wisconsin, That's awesome timing and its just standard shipping with UPS. The installation was good, just make sure you watch the video- It helps! It was easier after the first one - I used a 3 1/4 hole saw, went down to 3 3/4 in. deep. Then chisel it out to the 3/4 mark.
Helpful Hint ---- I used about 1 1/2 hole saw (take the drill out of course) then you use the hole saw in a circular motion to clean up the 3 1/4 hole down to 3/4 deep.
The 4 carriage bolt holes make sure these are straight.
But you can exceed the 3/8 drill size to give you some wiggle room. Which you will need to get the D-Ring straight.
I will use etrailer.com again and again! Very very excellent product and service!

Awesome, Still Strong,And still holding perfect tie downs.

Added these to the snowmobile trailer so that we could use it to tie down other items. Work great and we’re easy to install. Bought and sprayed a undercoating to protect my investment further.
by: Paul 08/25/2022
Although I have tie down hooks on the raised sides of my trailer, I purchased 6 of the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchors and mounted them to the wood deck of my 5 x 8 utility trailer; 3 ea. along each side. I used a router to recess the plate portion and a drill to cut out for the cup part in order for the unit to sit down flush with the wood deck to prevent catching the blade of my flat shovel on the metal plate. By drilling the mounting bolt holes through and through, it was an easy matter to line up the backing plate on the bottom side of the wood deck. Note: There is a water drain hole in the bottom of the Tie Down 'cup.' Be sure to drill a corresponding hole through the wood deck so the water has someplace to drain. I am noticing just a bit of rusting, but the ring still lifts and drops with no problem.

Excellent item and perfect match for factory installed rings. Shipping was fast and customer service as always was outstanding.
by: Towerdude04/02/2018
Seems quality built. Installed 8 on my 16ft trailer. Had to kinda get the hang of drilling. Would recommend cutting your 3 1/2 hole, then put the top tie down in, then drill one bolt hole and put the plate on the backside, tightening down one bolt and nut. Try and even it out between top piece and bottom piece, then drill another hole for another bolt and nut. I tried drilling them all first and it didn't work as well.
The tie downs will strap ATV's onto a trailer.

I have been looking for a very good windshield protector, this one guards against snow and ice. It is extremely easy to install. I wish had this a long time ago. I purchased two, one for my car and one for my pickup. These work great. As always I have never had an issue with any of my purchases from etrailer. I am a completely satisfied customer, thanks etrailer.

The backing plates make it easy to get this solidly mounted in my enclosed car trailer.
by: Rich03/15/2022
After one year, these tie downs are working to the greatest standard. Purchased them to hold down a side by side for traveling. No bending or flex. Used with the backing plates on a wood deck trailer. Highly recommended. Great service from etrailer! Thanks.
by: Brian05/31/2016
First time using etrailer.com. I used these tie down rings on my flatbed dirtbike trailer. Great product! Comes with all the necessary hardware to install. etrailer's videos and technical write ups make for an easy install. Fast shipping. Thank you etrailer!
by: Bruce B03/14/2015
Bought 4 of these recessed tie-downs with backing plates to secure my Ural Gear Up while transporting on my trailer. Very pleased with the price and quality. These tie-down points are heavy duty, and the installation video on the etrailer.com website was very helpful. I will shop trailer.com again!
by: Kris08/02/2019
Shipped in a timely manner, as always with you guys. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because these D-rings did not come with any installation instructions, to state that the holes were not square. I had to turn one of the backing plates 90* because of an interference with a bulkhead in my toy hauler. The holes are so close to being square it was hard to pick up on it. Once I discovered that they were not, I trimmed the backing plate to fit, and turned it back 90*, and holes lined up and finished the install. Overall, good product.
by: Perfect. 04/17/2017
These anchors are excellent come with all hardware and are easy to bolt up thanks to the the carriage bolts. You will need a 3.5 inch hole saw. I got a cheap [store] hole saw and installed these in 3/4 plywood. These are very heavy duty.
by: Jay M02/04/2014
These are great tie downs and easy to install if you have the slightest mechanical ability.
by: Bob G. - etrailer.com Employee12/05/2013
I have had 4 of these on my utility trailer for almost a year and they work great. I have tied down everything from a 4 wheeler to a small utility tractor with a loader on it and they hold great. The backing plate makes all the difference when mounting in wood.
I have also carried several loads of compost and there is no corrosion on the tie down ring or the housing.
by: Larry04/06/2015
Hold downs came last week and I installed the yesterday. The only problem was that the mount holes aren't square. The bottom plate only fits one way, and of coarse it wouldn't fit where I had it. Cut the plate and everything is fine. I mounted them in the corners of my race trailer to hold everything in place going down the road.

Heavy duty and very functional. Very pl eased!
by: Jeff L. 10/14/2017
Wow! A great product delivered with great service. I bought these tie down anchors to replace the four original anchors in my enclosed trailer. The originals were soft steel or aluminum, and within a year had bent or stretched at key stress points, becoming unreliable. The pictures don't do these anchors justice. They are high quality, stout, heavy steel anchors with an equally heavy backing plate with quality hardware. Installation was easy following eTrailer's video. And, they shipped immediately. I couldn't be more pleased with the product and the experience.

A year and many tie-downs later, my anchors are as stout, secure, and as reliable as ever. These are a quality product.
Jeff L - 10/14/2018by: Christopher08/26/2021
These D rings are Shiney like the day I bought them a year later. They are sturdy and hold the tension of the tie downs just fine. Great product!

view full answer... - Installation Methods for Brophy Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate # RR5KThe Brophy Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate # RR5K is not application-specific so its preferred method of installation will vary from trailer to trailer. The main factor is the thickness of the material to which it will be mounted. All other things being equal, the installation that only removes the minimum amount of material necessary for clearance under the tie down plate will leave the original surface somewhat stronger than if all of that material were removed.

The backing plate provides support for the tie down in kit # RR5K so it really does need to be there. I have linked a couple of videos to the right showing how we have installed these tie downs.

The recessed D-Ring is designed to be recessed in a wood surface (floor, wall) and using the steel backing plate will make a stronger tie down point. To be able to recess the tie down ring in the wood you will have to drill a 3-1/4 inch hole in the wood and then, using the backing plate as a template, drill the 4 holes for the mounting bolts. Then, with the steel backing...

- Does it Matter Which Way the Backing Plate Faces in Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, # RR5KThe backing plate can be placed as needed as long as it can be installed properly. As long as the strap is secure, it will not make much difference which way the hole is oriented. I recommend having it placed in such a way as to be further from the tire which would allow for a little more flexibility of what size item you could place in the space between them.
view full answer... - Installation of Brophy Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down # RR5K on Toy Hauler Wood FloorTo install the Brophy Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate, part # RR5K, you will drill a 3-1/4 inch hole in the plywood floor for the tie-down to be recessed into the plywood floor. Then, you will mark where the holes for the 4 bolts are to be located and drill 4 holes for the bolts. The backing plate will install underneath the plywood floor using the 2-1/4 inch long bolts that go through the 4 holes and use lock washers and nuts. The backing plate is 6-1/2 inches x 6-1/2...
view full answer... - Can the Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate be Used on an Aluminum Trailer FloorThe backing plate that comes with the tie down, # RR5K, is strong enough for its 5,000 pound capacity so no additional support is needed for it. I recommend placing the tie downs so that the are over the frame of the trailer where the most support is. If they are bolted to the frame, that would be the strongest point.
view full answer... - Does it Matter Which Way the D-Ring of Part # RR5K FacesIt doesn't really matter which direction you install the D-ring part # RR5K as long as the tie-down you plan to use can easily attach to the loop you would be fine. I attached a link to the install video you referenced as well.
view full answer... - Does the Tie-Down Ring or Backing Plate have to Face a Certain Way in Tie-Down with Plate # RR5KYou explained it perfectly fine! For Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor with Backing Plate # RR5K it really does not matter which way you have it positioned. The important thing is that the backing plate is used so that it can better disperse the force applied to the ring to a larger area on the trailer. In the video I have linked showing an example installation we put the hinge end towards the back of the trailer so the load would actually be forward. The longer side of the backing plate is...
view full answer... - Will Backing Plate of Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR5K Prevent Anchor From Ripping OutDepends on the condition of the wood but the backing plate of the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate # RR5K that you referenced is designed to distribute the weight so that it does not easily rip through the wood. I attached a picture of what the backing plate looks like installed. If the floor is strong enough for the weight of your snowmobile it's going to be strong enough for the backing plate to be effective.

- Does the Orientation of the Backing Plate Matter on the Brophy Tie Down Part # RR5KThe orientation of the backing plate on the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate part # RR5K does not matter. I called my contact at C.R. Brophy Machine Works to confirm this as well. The reason one side is longer is because different situations will require different clearances. Whichever way gives you the most clearance will be the way you will want to install it. I have attached a sample install video on this tie down for you as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Tie-Downs for an Open Car Trailer with Diamond Plate FlooringThe best option we have for you to add additional tie-downs to your car hauler would be to use Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchors part # RR5K. You could weld the top plate to the diamond plate flooring or you could drill a few holes and use the included backing plate and mounting hardware to secure the tie-down. This tie-down has a maximum load limit of 5,000 lbs per ring. They are zinc plated to resist rust/corrosion and come with a 1-year warranty. I have attached a review video on the above...
view full answer... - Dimension of Backing Plate for Brophy Recessed D-Ring RR5KThe backing plate for the # RR5K is 1/8 inches thick. This plate is zinc plated and I know that welding with zinc components can create toxic fumes, so this requires someone with experience welding zinc to complete a weld-on installation of this d-ring or plate.
view full answer... - D-Ring Recommendation for 48 Foot Cargo TrailerThe Brophy Recessed D-Rings part # RR5K would be a great choice for D-Ring anchors on your trailer. Depending on what you plan to secure these can be installed basically wherever you would need them. Typically you see them installed around the outsides of the trailer floor every few feet as needed. Some even get installed in the walls of the trailer as well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is the Brophy D-Ring Strong Enough to Pull a Car Onto a Trailer with a Come AlongThe Brophy D-Ring # RR5K is rated for 5,000 pounds but it depends on what it is mounted to. If the trailer has a steel floor or 2x4 wood floor then it would not be a problem. If it is aluminum you would want to bolt it to a structural crossmember and not straight through a floor or wall. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. If your trailer came with D-Rings you would have to check with the manufacturer for the capacity.
view full answer... - Could Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate # RR5K Work Mounted to PlywoodThe Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate # RR5K would work well on your ice fishing house with a sprayed insulated floor. As long as you use the backing plate that comes with it the plywood application would be just fine.
view full answer... - Hole Diameter Recommendation for Installing Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR5KThere's a bit of wiggle room for the hole size needed to install the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR5K but 3-1/2 inch diameter is the hole size that our installers found worked the best so it would be what I would recommend.

- Tie-Downs to Secure UTV to Aluminum TrailerSince you have an aluminum trailer I suggest using a tie-down that has a backing plate like # RR5K. This will help reinforce the tie-down since aluminum may not hold up. It would be even better if you can install the tie-downs to the frame of the trailer. This tie-down has a 5,000 pound capacity so that won't be an issue for your UTV. To avoid any oxidation or reaction between the aluminum and steel you should use some sort of gasket material. Pretty much anything that can be cut to...
