tie down points

[hidefxj]

Gents,
I have seen a few builds where people have welded tie down points to their trailers. I can't seem to find this style so I can only assume they are home brewed.
They seem to be about a 6 in long round stake bent to a 45 degree angle in the center then bent opposite to 45 degrees where they come in contact with the trailer.
Make sense?
Anyone have any info?
Thanks.

I got a dozen of them the other day from my local welding/metal supply yard. The guy behind the counter called them "jeep straps".
I honestly think he made that name up after seeing me crawl out of my wrangler by the front door. They cost me about .50 cents each iirc.

Here is the link to his store if you run out of options local to you. Good luck

Google "safety chain weld on" and look at images. You should see some options in case you can't find them local. Tweak the search and you get some other suppliers.

I am thinking of using the same thing. Anyone know what the load rating might be? Could they handle tying down a lawn tractor?

I have these as an alternative.

While the weld-on loops are cheap, they are not flexible, so you have to add a bunch of them.

I much prefer an aluminum track system with at least half a dozen moveable anchors. It is much MUCH more useful and satisfying for frequent use. Plus it adds a serious amount of bling. Weld on loops are so darn basic.....

The ones Mark posted are similar to the ones at Truck(as in Big Rig) parts stores. You can find all sorts of tie down stuff on e-trailer. I like the idea of a few weld on hoops as well as the e-track systems that allow flexibility.

I used a bunch of those on the inside of my trailer. Found them at the local trailer supply place.

Thanks to all of you!
I googled it in the beginning and got everything but what I wanted. I don't really need a whole lot of flexibility due to the small nature and configuration of the trailer.
Much appreciated!
