Avoid the hassle by installing the environmentally-sensitive Duckbill Earth Anchors - no holes, digging, or concrete required! Duckbill Earth Anchors work like toggle bolts and are easy to drive into the ground. An upward pull of the attached wire rope rotates the anchor into a perpendicular "locked" position for superior holding capacities.
This Duckbill is made from aluminum alloys, which makes it a strong, lightweight, and affordable solution to your anchoring needs. WesSpur currently offers two different sizes of Duckbill Earth Anchors most commonly useful for arborist needs:
Model #88 (RIG385)
3,000 lb. recommended working load in normal soils (wire rope capacity 6,100 lb). The most popular Duckbill Anchor, this model is generally used with 1/4" cable. For more aggressive soil, it can be used with 5/16" cable. Standard installation depth is 42". Attached wire rope is 3.5' long.
