The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor Advantage

The ApexAnchors Internal Frame-Mounted Payload Anchor system is designed specifically for truck camper owners with campers that have internal anchor points. Brands such as Scout, Cirrus, Four Wheel Campers, and Travel Lite will benefit immensely from this new system. Instead of mounting these truck campers to the cargo anchor points installed to the truck bed by the truck manufacturer, which are inadequate for long-term, heavy-duty use, our payload anchors mount directly to the truck's frame which is the strongest part of the truck. This allows for increased stability that will minimize camper shift during transit, which can cause irreversible damage to your truck and camper. Excess stress on your camper to lead to loss of structural integrity of your camper roof.

Why Upgrade from Cargo Anchor Points?

Standard cargo anchor points, provided by truck manufacturers, are intended for light and temporary use – such as hauling a playground set home from Home Depot or a dresser you picked up from a garage sale. These points are usually not weight-rated and are installed directly onto the truck bed (made of aluminum, plastic, or composite), which is not designed to bear significant, dynamic loads over prolonged periods. In contrast, Torklift's maximum payload anchor point system offers heavy-duty anchor points bolted directly to the truck's frame and are designed to haul the payload capacity of your truck. This ensures they can handle substantial loads with a high center of gravity, like a truck camper, providing a secure and reliable connection.

Key Features of the ApexAnchors System

  1. Concealable Design: The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor System is designed to be as concealed as possible. They are retractable when not in use, allowing your truck bed to maintain maximum functionality.
  2. Unbeatable Payload Capabilities: These heavy-duty payload anchor points are bolted directly to the truck frame (the foundation of the truck) allowing you to haul heavy, dynamic loads without fear of damaging the standard factory cargo anchor points. Each payload anchor point is rated for up to 2,000 lbs.
  3. Enhanced Stability: Our innovative internal payload anchor solution connects through the truck bed directly to the frame, offering solid and dependable anchor points for your truck camper, preventing camper shift which can cause damage to your camper roof.
  4. TRUE Frame-Mounted Design: This payload anchor design passes through the bed and is bolted directly to the frame, the foundation of the truck. It does not rely on the truck bed, which is limited in capability due to its plastic, composite, or thin metal construction.
  5. Easy Installation: The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor system features a straightforward installation process, allowing you to set up your truck camper quickly and efficiently. The simple, bolt-on design ensures you spend less time installing and more time on the road or off it.

Mini me... by Torklift Jen

Looking back to my humble beginnings of truck camping there were many learning opportunities and tips that I should have picked-up on in regard to all this truck camping stuff.

I am reminded that all I really needed to know about truck camping, I learned in kindergarten.

Like coloring, stay between the lines on the highway and go a little crazy when you’re off road.

Don’t run with scissors, but it’s okay to run up a sturdy set of scissor steps. IMG_1035

If you got bad suspension you were in some heavy-duty trouble and you were going to be in a world of hurt when you got home from school.  Now with good suspension you can carry a heavy load home and not feel a thing.

Kissing a toad will not result in a prince charming and will result in me looking very silly kissing my little tow behind car.

I learned that if you tie your toy truck bumper to a string attached to your bike and take off down the driveway, the bumper will get pulled off the truck and the part will end up in your baby brother’s mouth and then you’re in a heap of trouble from mom.  The worst!  Frame-mounted tie downs are always best.

IMG_0119Pick up your toys and someday your toys will be pickups.

Training wheels are not for babies.  They were just good practice for driving my dually Ford F350.

Time-out is a good thing if you’re prepared with your best toys and can sit and enjoy the quiet.

I think I’ve got all these new concepts down now and can put them to good use as I grow into “Torklift Jen”.
