RETRUE Trailer Stake Pocket D-Rings 4‑Piece Set — Black Galvanized Steel, 16,200–18,000 lb Combined Capacity, Locking Bolts

These RETRUE stake pocket D-rings are a four-piece, locking trailer tie-down system rated for heavy-duty transport with a combined working capacity around 16,200–18,000 lbs.

Engineered for truck and trailer stake pockets, this set of four D-rings pairs a forged galvanized-steel loop with a threaded security bolt and locking nut to keep pins from backing out during transit. The black protective finish helps resist surface corrosion while the hardware accepts many common straps and hooks, giving you a practical anchor solution for moving motorcycles, ATVs, appliances, lumber, and other bulky cargo.

How strong are these D-rings for hauling heavy loads?

Each D-ring is designed with high-duty capacity: the breaking strength is rated at 12,000 lbs and the working load limit for each unit is about 5,400 lbs. When used as a matched set, the combined working capacity reaches roughly 16,200 lbs (manufacturer lists up to 18,000 lbs as combined strength), providing dependable restraint for substantial payloads when properly installed.

• Breaking strength: 12,000 lbs per D-ring
• Working load limit: ~5,400 lbs per D-ring
• Combined working load (4 pieces): ~16,200 lbs
• Manufacturer combined rating up to 18,000 lbs

What prevents the pin from falling out of the stake pocket?

Each pin assembly includes a threaded security nut that locks the pin in place and reduces the chance of accidental release during transport. This locking design offers more retention than a simple roll pin or clip and is especially useful for frequent highway use or rough road conditions.

• Threaded security bolt with locking nut for firm retention
• Designed to sit flush in standard stake pockets
• Reduces accidental pin loss compared with non-locking pins

Which straps, hooks, or hardware work with these stake pocket anchors?

RETRUE D-rings accept a wide range of tie-down hardware so you can pair them with ratchet straps, winch straps, chain binders, shackles, and many hook styles. Note that flat hooks are not compatible; make sure your connector fits the D-ring opening and rated load limits.

• Compatible with ratchet and winch straps, S-hooks, J-hooks, shackles
• Not compatible with flat hook-style connectors
• Use matching-rated hardware to preserve system working load limit

How durable are these anchors in wet or salty conditions?

Forged from galvanized steel with a black protective coating, the D-rings are built to withstand exposure to rain and road splash better than uncoated steel. The finish helps delay surface rust and wear, but regular inspection and maintenance are recommended for coastal or long-term outdoor use.

• Forged galvanized-steel construction for strength
• Black protective coating to resist surface corrosion
• Inspect bolts and finish periodically in harsh environments

Who is this for? These RETRUE stake pocket D-rings suit owners of trucks, flatbed trailers, and utility trailers who need secure, reusable anchor points for heavy cargo. They are a practical option for transport contractors, landscapers, motorcycle and ATV owners, and anyone moving bulky items who prefers locking pins over basic clips. If you require compatibility with specific hooks or need certified hardware for commercial use, verify connector types and load ratings before installation.
