Fanmao Weld-On Tie-Down Tabs 8-Pack — 1/4" Low-Carbon Steel Anchor Points, 4-1/4" Length

Sturdy weld-on tie-down tabs: eight heavy-duty 1/4" low-carbon steel anchor points engineered to create robust strap attachment points on trailers, racks, or flat steel surfaces.

These Fanmao weld-on tie-down strap anchor points convert plain steel frames into dependable lashing locations. Each tab is made from low-carbon steel with a plain finish and sized for common webbing and hook fittings. Sold as an 8-pack, they let you add multiple secure anchors quickly by welding them to trailer beds, utility frames, cargo racks, or custom metalwork.

How strong and durable are these welded tie-down tabs?

The tabs are stamped from 1/4" (0.25") thick low-carbon steel for a balance of strength and weldability. The plain finish provides basic protection and a clean surface for welding or painting after installation. Because they are solid steel, they stand up to regular lashing pressure from straps, ropes, and hooks when properly welded to a suitable base.

• Material: low-carbon steel for reliable weld properties
• Thickness: 1/4" plate for heavy-duty resistance
• Finish: plain — ready for welding, painting, or coating
• Sold as: pack of 8 identical tabs for multiple anchor points

What dimensions should I expect when planning attachments?

Each tab measures 4-1/4" from end to end, giving ample footprint for secure welds and clearance. The inner opening accommodates many strap and hook sizes: inner height is 1-1/8", while inner width ranges from 1-1/2" to 2-1/4". These clearances work well with common ratchet straps, D-hooks, and S-hooks.

• Overall length: 4-1/4" for solid mounting area
• Inner height: 1-1/8" suitable for standard webbing thickness
• Inner width: 1-1/2"–2-1/4" fits a variety of hooks and straps
• Thickness: 1/4" plate for a secure anchor interface

How do I install these weld-on tie-down tabs correctly?

Installation requires a competent welder and a clean, compatible mounting surface. Position the tab with full contact against the base metal, tack-weld in place, then run continuous welds around the tab perimeter to distribute load. After welding, grind or coat welds to prevent corrosion and ensure a neat finish.

• Preparation: clean paint/scale from mating surfaces before welding
• Welding: tack then fully weld around the perimeter for strength
• Finishing: grind smooth and apply paint or rust inhibitor
• Placement: space anchors to match strap geometry and load paths

Will these tabs fit my straps and hooks?

The internal opening supports a wide selection of common lashing hardware. The 1-1/8" height and adjustable inner width range let you use ratchet strap hooks, chain links, or soft-loop webbing without fabric bunching. If your attachment hardware is oversized, verify the maximum 2-1/4" inner width before purchasing.

• Compatible with most ratchet strap hooks and S-hooks
• Accepts webbing loops and chain connectors within opening range
• Check hardware dimensions against the 1-1/8" by 1-1/2"–2-1/4" aperture
• Use reinforced or thicker welds for higher load setups

Who is this for: These Fanmao 8-pack weld-on tie-down tabs are designed for fabricators, trailer builders, fleet maintenance teams, and DIYers who need to add reliable attachment points to metal structures. If you weld on mounting points for cargo control, equipment tie-downs, or custom racks, these 1/4" steel tabs provide a practical, ready-to-install solution in a useful eight-piece set.
