Video Transcript for Brophy Backing Plate Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Brophy Backing Plate designed for use with the recessed 5,000 pound D-Ring tie down. This part number is BP05. As you can see the four bolts that come through our tie-down are going to run right through our backing plate, allowing us to put on a lock washer and a nut and really spreading out that holding force over a greater area. As you can imagine if we just had the four bolts coming through here we'd be limited in the amount of space that was actually holding our tie-down down. Once we have this incorporated it's going to spread that our, dissipate that energy and give us a good, strong tie-down connection point. This works great in an enclosed trailer which we are using today. Also just about anywhere else that you've got the room to put that backing plate behind your D-ring where you need a hold down connection point. Here's that part number RR05.
That's that Brophy 5,000 pound recessed D-Ring. Here you can see the four bolts that are coming through this right down into our backing plate. Now that we've seen what it does and how it's going to work, that's going to complete today's look at the Brophy Recessed D-Ring Backing Plate, right here, part number on that is BP05. .

Product appearance and workmanship met all expectations. All four (4) BP05 items were consistent in quality and dimensions. The BP05 provides reinforcement of load anchor points when an anchor can not be fastened to a frame-member of the trailer's chassis.

Easy to install, very firm mount. Reasonable price, too!
by: Dave G10/07/2020
Just what we needed, gives excellent support on our wood and metal floor trailers and truck flatbeds! Will buy again.
by: Anthony04/21/2023
I purchased the D-ring anchor and didn't see the product containing the ring, back plate, and bolt/nut. I was unable to get the back plate with the mounting hardware so now I have to go to a hardware store and get the bolts/nuts to mount the anchor. Poor options.

While I had to wait for supply delay issues, they are worth it. My new ATC trailer came with 4 tie-downs and backing plates exactly like these. I have used the trailer with a car and look forward to adding these 8 additional tie-downs for motorcycles. They are of great quality and function properly.

Works great for our enclosed trailer for our tie downs

I went to a local store and bought four tie down anchors to put in my enclosed trailer. I also bought all the hardware I thought I would need to install them. Upon returning home, I went on line to learn the proper way to install them. That's when I found out that I needed a backing plate which was not offered to me at the local store. I ordered a set of four from etrailer.com. I received them in the expected time and they are now installed and I am very pleased with the product. The bolts I bought were a little bit long and because of the thickness of the flooring I had to cut all the way thru. I used bathroom tub and tile caulk to seal the hole and wood underneath and I will paint it after the caulk cures. You can buy the entire kit from etrailer.com which is what I should have done. I guess you learn from your mistakes.

I had purchased the RR05 at a local retailer, but they did not have the backing plate, so I ordered from e-Trailer. In retrospect, I wish I had just ordered the RR05 kits from e-trailer. The ordering process is simple, great email comminication during order & shipping processing, and very fast delivery.
(I worked on my trailer in the garage during Huricane Irene, and completed installation of 5 of these D-Rings. )
Thanks e-trailer. Great site!
by: Ray B09/13/2016
My backing plates arrived on time. Although I did not buy the tie downs from etrailer the backing plates fit perfectly. I would recommend etrailer. I am very satisfied with this purchase thank you.
by: Richard O08/09/2017
These plates are worth every penny. They were installed on a trailer that didn't have support plates on the tiedown.
by: Neil04/13/2017
Quick delivery! Great shopping experience! Price was 1/3 what the local trailer dealer wanted and I was able to get the backing plates as well. Saved me a lot of money!
by: Scott M. 05/31/2015
Would not buy tie down rings with out the backing plates
by: William 12/22/2021
Recently ordered D rings and backing plates for my enclosed trailer. A quality product and quick shipping, but most impressive was the customer service. I would rate the items ordered as 5 stars. However, the etrailer customer service is 10 stars.
by: James 09/30/2022
Good, solid hardware.
by: Alan06/17/2020
Etrailer.com is an easy company to do business with. I found their product pricing and shipping costs to be fair. Shipping and communication was good. I would use etrailer.com again.
by: Steve C.02/21/2011
I could not find these anywhere locally. This will work well with the d-rings I'm mounting in the floor of my trailer. Ideally these could be welded to the frame for maximum security but through 3/4" flooring I don't expect any problems. Thanks for the fast service!
by: Ridetwoeat02/13/2013
These backing plates are thicker than the ones that came in my toy-hauler, which makes them much stronger. These plates are plated , instead of painted as well, which makes welding easier if that's your intention, as I did. Way better quality than expected. Thanks!
by: MRWinter03/23/2017
I received the set of 6 BP05 D-Ring backing plates very quickly and they are a very heavy duty plate with a nice zinc corrosion resistant coating. I am very pleased with etrailer.coms service and commitment to providing quality items at a reasonable price. Mike
by: Patrick Brassil03/31/2011
Excellent service from order to delivery. There was much follow up and notification of the status of the order. I am a military officer who loves follow up and follow thru and I think you have this process nailed!
by: Dan01/26/2021
these were the wrong parts I needed. I talk to Allison in customer service and she offered to allow a return I declined but she help me order the correct backing plate and processed the new order. Allison extremely helpful, pleasant to deal with and took care of my issue without any problems...Great help

Worked perfectly with the RR05 D-Rings. Excellent for distributing the force of the mounting bolts to a greater area.

- Installation Recommendation for Trailer D-Ring Tie Down # RR05 in a Trailer Securing 1k lb TrencherConsidering the weight of your trencher machine I would recommend you secure the Trailer D-Ring Tie Down # RR05 to the frame of your trailer. You could do this by securing the backing plate # BP05 to your frame and then attaching the # RR05 to it. I would recommend you have a qualified welder attach the # BP05 to your trailer frame.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity Rating of Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor RR05The Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR05 from our inventory that I checked was stamped with its 5000-lb break strength rating. The part's 1600-lb working load limit (WLL) rating is not indicated. My contact at Brophy mentioned that break strength ratings SHOULD always marked on all cargo items like tie downs but it is always possible that this stamping process could have been erroneously omitted on a specific production run. Brophy imports these items (they are not made in-house) so there...
view full answer... - How to Secure a Vehicle on an 8 X 18-foot Wooden Deck Car Hauler TrailerTo secure your vehicle on the wood deck of your 8 X 18-foot car hauler trailer I suggest you consider straps rather than chains. Straps offer lighter weight, reduced chance for scratching the vehicle and are often easier to use than chains. They also will not corrode like chains. The Dutton-Lainson 40-inch cables you referenced are intended for use with tow bars for flat-towed vehicles. We have better options for you. For example, we offer the Erickson Car Tie Down, part # 58503. It can...

Brophy doesn't make a similar tie-down anchor without holes, but they do offer some with holes that aren't countersunk like part # RR05 with a 5K max load, or 1600 lb safe working load limit. There's also the # RR06 with a 6K max, 2000 lb safe working load limit. For a more secure installation, there's backing plates available, if you went with the # RR05, you'd use the # BP05...
view full answer... - Recommended Recessed D-Ring Tie Downs For Trailer FloorThe Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor - Bolt-On # RR05 are rated for 1600 lbs each and will work very well for your 1933 Ford Hotrod. The backing plate is sold separately and is part # BP05. I've attached a photo with the dimensions to assist. Hardware in not included so you can get the specific length needed to accommodate your trailer floor. I recommend getting Grade 5 or better hardware.

- Which Backing Plate for Brophy Recessed D-Ring Tie-Down AnchorYes. The Backing Plate for Brophy Recessed D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor # BP05 is the correct backing plate for the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor - Bolt-On - 4-7/8inch Wide - Recessed Mount - 1,600 lbs # RR05.
view full answer... - What Diameter Hole Needs to be Cut for the Brophy D-Ring Recessed Tie DownWe recommend using the Brophy Backing Plate, # BP05, with the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down, # RR05. The diameter of the hole in the backing plate is 3-3/8 inches. The backing plate will provide a more secure installation and give the tie down extra support. You could install the tie down without using the backing plate, but you would still want to cut a hole that is 3-3/8 inches in diameter to ensure the recessed portion will fit. The recessed part of the tie down measures 3/4 inch deep. You...
view full answer... - What are the Dimensions and Thickness of the Backing Plate in Brophy Trailer Cargo Control # RR5KThe Brophy Trailer Cargo Control, part # RR5K, uses the Brophy Backing Plate, part # BP05. This backing plate measures 6-1/2 inches x 6-1/2 inches and has a thickness of 1/8 inch.
view full answer... - Are Brophy Trailer D-Ring Tie Downs # RR05 Suitable for Use on a Car TrailerAccording to my contact at Brophy, their # RR05 Trailer D-Ring Tie Down has a working load limit of 1600-lbs and a break strength of 5,000-lbs. (Working Load Limit or WLL is the maximum burden that should be put on the device in daily use.) This makes this sturdy 2-1/2-lb tie down perfect for use on a car hauler trailer. In a typical trailer configuration with four or more of these tie downs being used at the same time you will have at least 20,000-lbs of capacity for securing the loaded...
view full answer... - Which Backing Plate Is Used with the etrailer D-Ring Tie Down Anchor RRING-Q6000?For the etrailer D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RRING-Q6000 you will need to use the Backing Plate # BP05. This will increase surface area for the bolts used to attach the anchor to your floor giving it additional support. I included a video of the # RRING-Q6000 being installed for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Do the Brophy Swiveling D-Rings Have Weep HolesI have another solution but the Brophy Swiveling D-Ring Anchors part # RR6K-4 do not have weep holes designed into them. I agree that they are a great idea and should have them. I have installed these in the past and drilled my own holes to ensure proper drainage I then touched up the holes with clear spray paint to help keep rust away. The other option which does have weep holes to drain water and has the same capacity but you lose the Swiveling aspect is the etrailer D-Ring Tie Down...
view full answer... - D-Ring and Backing Plate Recommendation without Hole Cut In CenterThe reason the part # BP05 has a hole in the center of it is so that the recessed D-ring part # RR05 can fit into it. Without the hole the D-ring wouldn't fit it. If you are wanting a similar backing plate for a different application the # RR2K might be a better option as it comes with a D-ring to attach to it and doesn't have the hole.
view full answer... - Should D-Ring Tie Downs be Placed in the Center of 1 Board or Between 2 Boards on a Trailer FloorSince a 2x6 board is large enough for the whole D-ring tie down # RR05 you could go either way. But if you decide to put it between two boards I would center it between the two boards so that it is secured evenly. I also recommend using backing plate # BP05 to better disperse the weight on the floor.
view full answer... - Is Backing Plate Required When Installing the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR05A backing plate isn't necessarily required when installing the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR05, but it will add additional support. I recommend going ahead and installing a backing plate for peace of mind and to be extra safe. The backing plate that you will need is listed as part # BP05 on our site. Some installation videos have been linked for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is Backing Plate Needed with the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor on Aluminum FloorI would recommend you use the backing plate part # BP05 on a 3 mm aluminum floor with the part # RR05. Aluminum is a pretty soft metal and 3 mm is pretty thin.
view full answer... - Will a 3-1/4 Hole Saw be Enough for Installing Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down # RR05You really would need a 3-3/8 inch diameter hole. A 3-1/4 inch hole would leave you about 1/8 of an inch too small. If you have a router, you could use a straight cutting bit to slightly enlarge the hole enough to get the tie down to fit.' The # BP05 backer plate is also recommended.
view full answer... - Can Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down RR05 Be Installed on a 3/4 Inch Plywood Trailer FloorYou can mount the Trailer D-Ring tie down, # RR05, in a plywood floor but you will need to add the backing plate, # BP05, for each one for more support. The backing plate will better disperse the stress on the floor so it does not get damaged.
view full answer... - Are the Brophy Trailer Cargo Control D-Ring Tie Downs # RR05 Zinc PlatedI spoke with my contact at CR Brophy and the Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, Recessed 5K, item # RR05, is Zinc plated to resist rust and corrosion. I also inquired about the backing plate, item # BP05, for the D-Ring tie downs and it is also Zinc plated.
view full answer... - Is the Backing Plate and Mounting Hardware for D-Ring Tie Down # RR5K Available SeparatelyThe backing plate for the Recessed Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, # RR5K, is available separately. It is part # BP05. The installation hardware is not available separately, but it can be obtained at a local hardware store. It uses 2-1/4 inch long 3/8 inch carriage bolts, matching nuts, and lock washers. You would need 4 of each.

After a year of use, there has been no problems with the BP05. Not much hauling for car shows in the past year, but I did head to the Rocky Mountains to pick up another antique car, a 5,000 lb. land yacht. An emergency stop on the interstate highway while descending the mountains put the load anchors and BP05s to the test. All is well.
