FAQs
What material are these anchor rings made of?
They are made from A2 (304 AISI graded) stainless steel.
What is the maximum load capacity?
The load capacity is not specified by the manufacturer, as it is highly dependent on the strength of the mounting surface and the fasteners used. Always ensure your mounting is secure and suitable for the load.
Are mounting screws included?
No, mounting screws or bolts are not included. You will need to provide appropriate M5 fasteners for installation.
Can these be used for overhead lifting?
These anchor rings are designed for securing loads on surfaces and are not rated or intended for overhead lifting applications.
What is the internal height of the eye loop?
The maximum internal height of the eye loop is 16mm.
How far apart are the mounting holes?
The hole centers are 51mm apart along the length and 27mm apart across the width.
Are these suitable for saltwater environments?
Yes, A2 (304 AISI graded) stainless steel provides good resistance to corrosion in marine and saltwater environments.
Troubleshooting
Anchor ring feels loose after installation
Check that all four mounting fasteners are tightened securely. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and capable of bearing the load. Consider using locking nuts or washers if vibrations are a concern.
Corrosion visible on the anchor ring
While A2 stainless steel offers good resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh environments can still cause surface marks. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Ensure the area is thoroughly rinsed and dried.
Tie-down strap does not fit the eyelet
The eyelet diameter is 6mm. Ensure your tie-down strap hardware or rope does not exceed this dimension for a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select Mounting Location: Choose a solid, load-bearing surface appropriate for the intended use.
- Mark Mounting Holes: Position the anchor ring and mark the locations for the four mounting holes.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes suitable for your chosen fasteners (screws or bolts). The mounting holes are 5mm in diameter.
- Secure the Anchor Ring: Attach the anchor ring using appropriate stainless steel fasteners (e.g., M5 screws or bolts with washers and nuts if mounting through material). Ensure the 51mm hole centers along the length and 27mm hole centers across the width are accounted for.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard tie-down straps, ropes, and bungee cords that fit through the 6mm eyelet.
- Requires compatible fasteners (M5 size recommended) for secure installation.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the anchor rings and mounting points for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Clean with a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly, especially after exposure to saltwater or harsh chemicals.
