TROJAN MOVABLE ANCHOR POINTS
For ute and trailer owners, Trojan has released two new
anchor points: the Movable (in a twin-pack and rated to
125kg capacity) and the Heavy Duty (420kg capacity).
The versatility of the anchor points means you can avoid
drilling unsightly holes in your ute tray, as they can easily
be attached to – and moved between – ute and trailer. The
anchors feature extended-length screws for securing to
different thicknesses and through different surfaces. The
Movable model has a rubber covering on its base and sides
to avoid scratching ducos, while the Heavy Duty jobbie
has a tough zinc-plated finish. The Heavy Duty anchor also
includes a pivoting ring that offers up to 180 degrees of
rotation to ensure easy access and effective tie-down force.

Highly regarded backpack brand Osprey has just released

Yakima’s LockN’Load Platform system has been going
gangbusters since its release, and the company continues
to add accessories to it, with this Load Corner Brackets Kit
the latest. The kit comprises four heavy-duty steel brackets,
so it’s built tough for touring. The included eye bolts are
used with tie-downs and the whole set-up can be positioned
anywhere on the platform (additional eye bolts are also
available as a two-pack). This robust bracket set-up ensures
those boxy, bulky items (think: toolbox, etc.) can be secured
up top. As with all the LockN’Load gear, this bracket kit
has been subjected to plenty of testing to ensure it fits in
perfectly with the platform during off-road driving.
