D rings, shaped like a letter D, are a type
of hardware for a variety of uses. They are
available in many different styles, colors, sizes and
either plastic or metal.
Lowy has many different types of D Rings,
including metal D rings for heavy duty applications and plastic D rings for
light duty applications.
Metal D rings are usually used in securing
cargo and vehicles for storage or transport. A common use for metal D rings,
including weld on D rings is for trailers as tie down anchors. Metal D
ring parts and accessories can help you customize your trailer
configuration with load specific trailer tie down anchors. Choosing the right
trailer D rings for your application depends on the functions that your trailer
required - recessed truck tie down rings won't get in the way of rolling cargo
on and off your trailer, rotating anchor rings let you work from multiple
angles to fit a variety of cargo, and surface mount D hooks are great for
lightweight cargo and vehicles - easy access to the folding D ring make quick
work of loading and unloading your trailer.
For light-load applications such as
clothing, backpacks and luggage, D-rings are mostly made of plastics such
as nylon may be used, as they weigh less and are impervious
to rusting. They can be sewn to almost anything including backpacks and
clothing.
When it comes to the use of plastic D
rings, dog collars, double D-ring belts, and utility straps are
at the top of the list. On the utility strap, D-rings are attached to the
end to use as an anchor strap. Dog collars have the D-ring of course, so
you can attach the leash to it with ease. Two D-rings
are sewn onto the end of the webbing or strap to make a cool looking
belt, but can also double as a utility strap.
