1" x 8" x 66" Helical Auger Anchor - 11000 lbs Max Capacity

These heavy-duty earth anchors are used for securing poles, tower, trees, stages and other similar structures. We sell them into the arborist, tower rigging and stage rigging industries. They are popular because they are both strong and economical, and install easily. Simply turn/screw the anchor into the ground using a strong bar placed through the anchor's forged eye. No special tools required--may be installed by hand, or with machine power. Designed with a forged triple eye rod with an angled point and a firmly welded helix. A hot-dip galvanized finish meets ASTM Specification A153, Class C for long resistance to rust.

Anchor requirements are site specific. Soil type should be determined to ensure that the correct anchors are used. Always seek professional guidance. Anchors must be installed at an angle of 45º in the direction of the load. Failure to install within 5º of alignment of the guy load will significantly lower strength. Capacity ratings apply to properly installed anchors only.
