The fittings' steel base is zinc plated to inhibit corrosion. It is spring loaded to permit simple attach and detach operation. To detach, simply pull up on the spring loaded mechanism and then slide forward or back and the fitting releases. To attach, rest the fitting in the load track, then push down on the base and push forward. The triple stud fitting attaches to three sets of "fingers" in the load track, thus giving you a more secure attachment than the single or double stud style. Two tiedown hooks will fit into this triple stud fitting.
It is not recommended to pull at an angle greater than 45 degrees. As a rule of thumb you lose about half your rating at a 45 degree angle.
In a specific application the triple stud fitting has a certain advantage over the double stud fittings with "O" rings. When the rectangular load track (not the beveled) is installed against a wall the "O" ring will scrape the side wall when applying tiedown strap tension. A simple remedy can be securing the track slightly away from the wall, or using this ring-less triple stud or the pear shaped triple stud fitting.
The fitting is also available with a pear shaped ring that still has a 6,500 lb. rating (straight pull). Our eBay Store also has two types of double stud and single stud fittings.
Aluminum load track is available in two styles and various lengths. Please visit our eBay Store page for availability Aluminum load track.

*RATED CAPACITY: Also known as "assembly capacity" or "break strength" is the minimum load a complete assembly can withstand before failure in a laboratory pull test when the product is NEW.
