• Tie-Down Recommendation for Bulldog Winch Ratcheting Wheel Tie-Down Strap
  The Bulldog Winch Ratcheting Wheel Tie-Down Strap # BDW20362 is designed to connect to a D-Ring type of connection point so you wouldn't need to install an e-track on your trailer. For your application I recommend installing the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate # RR5K for your anchor points since you want them to be directly in-line with your tires and not offset like your current tie-down anchors. The Brophy kit mentioned above comes with a backing plate and installation...

• Does the Orientation of the Backing Plate Matter on the Brophy Tie Down Part # RR5K
  The 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.

• Will Backing Plate of Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR5K Prevent Anchor From Ripping Out
  Depends 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 Tie-Down Ring or Backing Plate have to Face a Certain Way in Tie-Down with Plate # RR5K
  You 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...

• Motorcycle Tie-Down Recommendations for a 700 Pound Motorcycle and Pressure Treated Flat Bed
  The CargoBuckle Mini G3 Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Downs, # IMF103745-86, would work well to secure your 700 pound motorcycle. If at all possible, bolt the tie-downs to the metal part of the frame. If you have attach it to the wood bed, I recommend adding a steel backing plate on the underside of the wood for support. You could also add some D-rings, like # RR5K, which comes with a backing plate. You may also need adapter # IMF14086 to use with these D-rings. You could also use straps...

• D-Ring Recommendation for 48 Foot Cargo Trailer
  The 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.

• Can Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate be Installed in a 2007 Sportster Tow Hauler
  If you cannot get access to the bottom of the floor from underneath the trailer then you would have to cut an access hole to place the backing plate on the underside. 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.

• Are Brophy Trailer D-Ring Tie Downs # RR05 Suitable for Use on a Car Trailer
  According to my contact at Brophy, their # RR05 Trailer D-Ring Tie Down has a working load limit of 1600-lbs and a break strength of 5,000-lbs. (Working Load Limit or WLL is the maximum burden that should be put on the device in daily use.) This makes this sturdy 2-1/2-lb tie down perfect for use on a car hauler trailer. In a typical trailer configuration with four or more of these tie downs being used at the same time you will have at least 20,000-lbs of capacity for securing the loaded...

• Is the Brophy D-Ring Strong Enough to Pull a Car Onto a Trailer with a Come Along
  The 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.

• Does a Recessed D-Ring have to be Positioned Any Certain Way in a Trailer

It is rated for 5,000 pounds limited to the capacity of the surface it is attached to. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

• Best Tie-Down Recommendation for a Pine Wood Floor Flatbed Trailer Carrying Motorcycles
  I think installing the Recessed Trailer D-Ring, # RR5K, that you have referenced, would be better than # LRB1, because the backing plate is going to help distribute the load from the ring which would be better for your wood decking and make for stronger connection points. If you use this kit with the backing plate an attachment to the frame is not required as the backing plate, which would be underneath the wood floor, would prevent the hardware from pulling out. The only down side to...

• Pulley Block for Hauling Disabled Vehicles off Car Hauler
  It sounds like you're looking for a pulley block like part # BDW20004. I would think some sort of D-ring tied into the frame of the trailer would provide a good mount for the pulley block. I looked through our selection of D-rings, and the highest capacity we offer is the # RR5K. You'd want something with sufficient capacity to handle the largest vehicle you expect to have to haul off. Since you're dealing with a rolling load, 5K should be plenty but I would be sure that the ring is tied...

• Recommended D-Ring Tie Downs and Straps to Secure 1998 Jeep TJ to Trailer
  They will be more than strong enough for your needs. Each of the Bropy # RR5K D-Rings has a 5,000 lb capacity but has a WLL (safe working load limit) of about 1/3 of that figure, which is just under 1700 lbs. Since you're using 4 of the D -Rings, you'll have a total safe working load limit of almost 7,000 lbs, which should be plenty strong enough to hold your Jeep firmly in place. I don't know what you were thinking of doing for straps, but if you don't already have a solution in mind,...

• Installing Brophy D-Rings on OSB Trailer Flooring

With that being said, a better option might be with the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate # RR5K for your application, as it features a larger surface area on the D-Ring mount to better disperse weight and also includes the backing plate for installation. It has...
