Can the Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down with Backing Plate be Used on an Aluminum Trailer Floor  

Since 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…

If it were my trailer I would fasten the E-Track to the support beams under the trailer, either the side to side one or front to back ones, by going all the way through those support beams. E-Track like #E19148 is zinc-coated steel and since the…

E-Track like #E19148 is zinc-coated steel and since the trailer is aluminum you would want to paint the bottom of the E-Track. Otherwise the dissimilar metals can cause corrosion to start. Be sure to also consider the fasteners used. Zinc-coated…

The mounting hole dimensions of the Brophy Rope D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor #SS15-C that you referenced is 7/16 inch by 7/16 inch. Best option would be to use a carriage bolt with shoulders that match that dimension and you'd be set.

What you have heard is correct, you do not want to mount tie downs to the wood floor of a trailer without any type of reinforcement. The tie down will only be as strong as the weakest component and the wood floor of a trailer would be the weakest…

For your Aluma 6810 HBT trailer, I recommend the Erickson Horizontal E-Track - Zinc Coated Steel - 2,000 lbs - 5' Long - Qty 1 #E19148 along with the E-Track Backing Plate - Zinc Plated Steel - 6" Long x 6" Wide #e96RR. This will save…

According to CargoSmart you want to use the largest grade 5 bolt that will fit the #3481765 mounting holes. The mounting hole measures .43". You should be able to find these at a local hardware store.

We have the Brophy D-Ring Anchor part #SS15-C which is stainless steel and has a 1,600 lb weight capacity. If you needed reinforcement below the aluminum deck we also have the part #e96RR which would work great.

For a D-ring tie down anchor with a similar capacity and doesn't require a recessed mount we have the part #SS15-C which has a 1,600 lb capacity. I attached a review video for this anchor for you to check out as well.

We do offer many weld-on D-ring tie-downs for cargo control on trailers. These are shown on the linked page. All of these items are made of steel, not aluminum. It is not easy to weld steel and aluminum (due to the two metals' different melting…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

The lug nuts part #12CLN would work great with the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel #AM22323HWTB that you referenced and then for valve stems #AM20906 would work really well.
