D-Rings and Tie Down Anchor Points

What you will find here

This section lists 14 d-rings and tie down anchor points. Prices currently range from $2.99 to $81.49 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use d-rings and tie down anchor points for flatbed, step deck and van load securement, owner-operators building a DOT-compliant kit and replacing worn or out-of-service tie-downs. Add up the working load limit of every tie-down: under FMCSA rules the total must be at least half the weight of the cargo.

How to choose d-rings and tie down anchor points

Compare the options and specifications in the table above and pick the size or configuration that matches your equipment and load.

Working load limits in this section run from 1,000 lbs to 15,600 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Check the working load limit. Use the WLL printed on the tag, not the break strength, when planning securement.
2. Pick the right end fitting. Flat hooks suit flatbed rub rails, wire hooks and snap hooks suit D-rings, and e-track fittings suit vans.
3. Protect the strap. Use edge protectors wherever webbing crosses a sharp edge.

Materials compared

• Steel (4 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• Aluminum (3 products) — Aluminum is light and corrosion-resistant, which makes it easy to handle and install.
• 11 Gauge Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• Galvanized Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.
• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.
• Chain grade — the strength class of the chain. Grade 70 is the standard for cargo securement; Grade 80, 100 and 120 alloy chains are stronger for their size and are the grades used for overhead lifting.

Before you buy

• Confirm the size or option matches your equipment.
• Check the rated capacity against your heaviest load.
• Compare the full option table above before clicking through.
