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'll be reviewing part number SR15-C. This is the Brophy trailer D-ring tie down. It is a bolt-on installation rated at 5,000 pounds. It's made from a nice steel construction with a zinc finish, so it is going to stand up well against rusting and corrosion. Again, it does have a weight capacity of 5,000 pounds with a safe working load limit of 1,600 pounds. This is a medium-duty trailer tie down latch ring. So the way it would work is you would place the mounting bracket over top of the D-ring, and then you would install your hardware which is sold separately.
So you can see here how it's going to swivel back and forth from side to side. It's also when not in use it's going to lay down nice to either side. That way it's going to stay out of the way. So once you have that in there you'll just install the hardware that you would purchase separately, and make sure everything is secure and then you'll be ready to make your connection point and go. A few measurements I want to go over real quick .. the bracket here from end to end is going to give us an overall length of 3 1/2 inches.
From the venter of one mounting hole to the center of the other is going to measure 2 1/4 of an inch, and it's going to give us an overall width of 1 3/16 of an inch. Now these mounting holes that it has are going to give us a diameter of 7/16 of an inch so keep that in mind when choosing your hardware. Both of those holes are identical. The D-ring is going to give us an overall length from end to end of 2 1/4 of an inch, and then the diameter of our shackle is going to measure 3/8 of an inch. So once you have everything installed and ready to go you just make your connection point there, and then you should be all set. That's going to complete today's review of part number SR15-C. This is the Brophy trailer D-ring tie down rated at 5,000 pounds.

The home we bought in Nov has a deck and patio door that get full sun in mid-to-late afternoon. I was looking for strong rings I could bolt on 4x4 posts to suspend shade cloth as a solution... found large surface-mount D-rings at Home Depot, but they're costly and bulky. Via Google search, I found your company's D-ring products with smaller size, but same strength. They're exactly what I was looking for... reasonably priced, strong D-rings that mount with two 3/8" carriage bolts. They arrived yesterday... mounted two, so far...
Steve J - 06/24/2018I made two purchases for D-Ring 1600+ lb WLL tie downs; one for eight D-rings for my utility trailer and six for my motorcycle lift. The SR15-C is a strong device with large enough opening to use multiple hooks or tie-thru straps or ropes which is common when securing my ~1,000 lb Goldwing on the trailer. I now have zero concerns my tie-downs will ever fail. Of course, one must use appropriate straps for the weight as well. etrailer.com was on-the-ball via email checking on my deliveries yet failed to catch it when my second order was lost in shipment for 5-7 days and failed to respond to my return emails when I attempted to inquire. When I called them, they were polite and efficient yet had no response to why no answers to my email inquires and would not put the recorder on a fast-trac delivery w/o me paying the extra fees. Bottom line: product is great value for a solid product and hopefully etrailer.com will rectify their communications challenges.
These are high quality, bought 6 of them. First mounted them on top of the wood planks of my trailer but then ended up mounted them on the outside metal rail because the wood was to soft even being 2x6's. Very solid and sturdy, I used 3/8 carriage bolts to mount them
I received my order of the D rings just a couple of hours ago. I went straight to the hardware store and picked up some bolts, washers and locking nuts. Installed them on my brand new "Sure-Trac" 5 X 10 trailer in about an hour. They seem to be very solid and should definitely secure whatever I lash down to them. I told the guy at the hardware store I wanted either stainless or nickel hardware. He said it was "nickel" and I hope that's what I got. While I don't plan on exposing my trailer to road salt, it's not totally outside the realm of possibility. I don't really want any dissimilar metal corrosion either. I hate rust. I could only go with 3 stars as I haven't used them yet or seen how the finish holds up when exposed to weather over time. If they don't corrode I'll definitely upgrade my review to 5 stars.
A very strong tie down that will serve the purpose I intended. It is more than what I need, but I always like to be over safe than sorry.
CHUCK E - 06/18/2021The coupler lock works as advertised and the etrailer measurements were perfect. The tie down brackets were also easy to install and work well for holding down my ATV and UTV. The spare tire carrier, wheel and cover all came from etrailer. They fit perfectly.
I purchased 2 of these to mount on the wood floor of my enclosed snowmobile trailer to help secure snowmobiles and dirt bikes (depending on the season). I used a backing plate and am happy with these units. With a backing plate, I feel there is no way the bolts will pull through the wood floor in case of an abrupt stop or accident. The "D" rings are large enough to easily hook a tie down strap to and fold flat when not in use.
Ray F - 09/24/2018These D rings work great, easy to install and a good price. etrailer has a great selection and fast shipping.
Bruce - 05/29/2017I am very satisfied so far with the d-rings; they are very heavy duty. Now the only question is how well they will hold up living in the bed of my garaged truck at the beach. I mounted them with stainless hardware; I'm hoping electrolysis won't be an issue. Mine are mounted on the floor of my Ford Ranger's bed: two immediately in front of the rear wheel bump out and the other two on the bed on either side of the tailgate, as far back as I could get them. 3/8"-20 carriage bolts work perfectly with the square bolt openings on the strap portion of the tie down.
Jay H - 10/21/2014I would not ever consider buying tires anywhere else than etrailer. Your 5 star tires,service and follow up are wonderful.
I bought two BP1D mounting plates for the Brophy tie-down anchors. My 6’ x 10’ utility trailer will be used to haul a motorcycle or lawn tractor and I need to place rear tie-downs in different locations to secure the rear. The setup for the motorcycle is especially tricky and are located towards the front of the trailer. A second location for other equipment are set in the back. These Brophy anchors are ideal as the mounting plates are under the trailer deck. The heavy duty eyelets that come with DR1S (purchased separately) are out of the way and threaded into the mounting plate when ready to strap equipment in place. I really am happy with the cost effective way to have multiple tie-down locations
Easy to install, a 3/8" carriage bolt will fit the mounting holes . I got a couple of the larger D rings (1/2" diameter ring) and they're too big I think for a 800 lbs ATV I attached a pic for comparison
Was thinking how can I fasten these straps in my car carrier. Bought the wrong stuff from HD. Got an email from etrailer, it’s like they knew what I needed. Kinda scary, but these were perfect for my application. And the right price too. Gonna hafta stand in that slow return line at the HD.
I was looking for something to replace the totally useless tie downs in my 1999 F-150 truck bed. I saw these D-rings and thought this might work; and am very glad I tried them. They are listed as 2 1/4" ctr holes and the truck is 2" ctr holes; the bolts on the truck tie downs in the bed of the truck are smaller than what you would use if you just installed these D-rings in a normal install; so they fit with NO drilling or cutting out. the only thing I had to do was put some washers on the bolts, the heads are too small and would pull through the holes in the D-ring bracket otherwise. The solid D-ring (welded) does not pull apart when I put pressure on them, pulling up, and the only thing I'm worried about is putting to much pressure (pull) on them and breaking the bolts (screws) that come in the truck bed stock! I looked several places to find out what other people are doing to their trucks to correct this problem and no one has come up with this solution; it works try it!
Butch B - 12/30/2014I had purchased a single axle trailer fender with backing from e-trailer and it was the exact size I needed to match the one that got torn off from my trailer. the part was packaged well and the item was as its shown on their order form,no dents or part bent. fast shipping ordered parts on Dec 4th & parts came in on the specified delivery date of Dec 8th. also ordered 4 D-ring tie downs which were packaged in a bubble wrap envelope that was shipped with fender. I was very pleased with the service of this company and with their offer of free shipping for orders over $50.00 was even better. I will definitely be buying items that I need for my trailer in the future.service representative George was very helpful and wanted to make sure if there was any problems with the order to call him direct. Thank you e-trailer.
Exactly what I needed. They have worked very well.
Super strong, just used yesterday to tie down tracked stump grinder rented from local center, took just minutes to Angkor unit with ratchet straps.
Look good - just what I was looking for - and received very quickly.
Heavy duty and shipped quickly! Will be great as tie-down points for my 800 lb motorcycle on a trailer.
I just received the D-Rings I ordered but haven't installed them yet. Looking at them they are exactly what I expected based on the product description and photo. I'm confident they will be more than strong enough for my application. Pleased with my purchase. Did not rank 5 stars for the following reasons: shipping took a day or two longer than expected, weld on D-rings aren't consistent and some don't look great (hoping they are still strong enough), haven't installed or used them yet (no feedback on actual strength or wear & rust).
Nate - 01/12/2018Exactly what I was looking for. Secured with 3/8" carriage bolts. Painted to match trailer. Installed 8 each so tie downs on each side and front.
Perfect for my dirt bikes, 700cc side x side, or small tractor loaded in my 14' utility trailer.
Easy to install in my trailer floor with a couple of galvanized carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts. I also added a metal plate to each Tie-down, on the bottom-side of the floor, where the carriage bolts passed through so as to create a greater grab surface area for the washers and nuts underneath...in case I need to tie-down heavy,unstable, or movable loads.
Another great product offered by etrailer these hold downs are everything there supposed to be. Bought these with intentions of using bolts but ended up welding them on. These are galvanize coated, so these process is not recommended. Great product don't have to worry about things when they are strapped down.
I purchased 6 of these and had them welded to the inside angle iron that attaches to my ladder rack on the back of my truck.. They were exactly what I wanted, in size and work load capacity. Local dealers only had the 1/4" or the large 1/2". They "ve held down cabinets, off road motor bikes, refrigerators and large bulky cargo with "O" problems. E trailer was very helpful answering all of my questions. I highly recommend them.
