ApexAnchorsTRUE Frame-Mounted Internal Payload Anchors

Elevate your outdoor excursions with Torklift’s ApexAnchors Frame- Mounted Camper Tie Downs. These Torklift tie downs anchor directly to the truck frame, with easy-to-access points inside the truck bed, tailored for adventurers who seek paths less traveled. Our internal frame-mounted payload anchors are designed to anchor directly to the frame, ensuring a well-built, stable base slide in truck campers, motorcycles, ATVs, and other significant, dynamic loads with a high center of gravity. This stability is extremely important when it comes to hauling truck campers because a strong mounting point minimizes camper shift. 

Camper shift refers to the unintentional and unsafe movement of position during transit. This can occur when a truck camper is loaded improperly or when the camper is mounted to the inadequate cargo anchor points that are installed to the truck bed by the truck manufacturer. Excessive camper shift can result in significant stress to the truck and camper that can eventually lead to structural damage. Additionally, this instability leads to poor ride quality and handling characteristics making the driving experience unsafe and uncomfortable. 

Proper loading and securing of the truck camper to these ApexAnchors frame-mounted payload anchor points is essential for vehicle stability and safety. Ideal for tackling tough terrains with your truck camper or other gear, this internal frame-mounted payload anchor system allows you to go off the beaten path without worry that the payload in your truck bed will shift during transit.

Payload Anchor Points vs. Cargo Anchor Points

The standard cargo anchor points provided by truck manufacturers are intended for light, temporary use. These cargo anchor points are typically not assigned a weight rating and are installed directly onto the truck bed. The truck bed itself is not designed to bear significant payload, especially over prolonged periods.

In contrast, Torklift offers an essential upgrade with our maximum payload anchor point system. These heavy-duty anchor points are bolted directly to the truck's frame (the foundation of the truck), ensuring they can handle substantial loads with a high center of gravity like a truck camper. Our payload anchor points provide a secure, reliable connection, designed to support heavy-duty applications and long-term use.

Defining a Dynamic Load vs Static Load

The ApexAnchors Internal Frame-mounted payload anchor system is designed to haul dynamic loads. By definition, a dynamic load refers to the forces that act on a structure or object that change over time. Unlike static loads which remain constant and unchanged, dynamic loads vary in magnitude, direction, and point of application. In our case, a dynamic load would refer to a truck camper loaded in the truck bed. 

Importance of Spring-Loaded Turnbuckle System

When looking at dynamic loads, it is important to take into consideration why a spring-loaded turnbuckle system is so key to avoid truck or truck camper damage. For comparison, when looking at constructing buildings there are seismic building codes in place to protect the building from structural damage. A crucial part of this is allowing controlled movement in the building to minimize earthquake damage. The same goes with your truck camper.  The spring-loaded turnbuckles allow for a secure connection between anchor points while allowing for just enough flexibility to protect your camper from fractures or long term damage.
