Expert Reply:

The Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Anchor # SLSS can be attached to the desired mounting surface with the type of hardware is appropriate for that material. If you are mounting these to wooden surface use fasteners for wood, e.g. wood screws. For a metal surface use fasteners made for metal, e.g. self-tapping sheet metal screws. We also offer carriage bolt hardware # SLHCBDS-P.

Keep in mind that the actual weight capacity of each tie down will depend on the strength of the surface you mount it to and that of the hardware used.
