FLAT TARPAULIN HOOK, 51X13 MM (5PCS)

Set of 5 galvanized steel flat hooks for securing, guiding, and anchoring tarpaulins or bungee cords

The set of 5 flat tarpaulin hooks, measuring 51x13 mm, is a professional automotive hardware solution, essential for outfitting trailers, semi-trailers, light commercial vehicles, and pickups. These technical accessories are specifically designed to be rigidly mounted on sideboards or the chassis, serving as secure fastening and anchoring points for bungee cords (shock cords), tensioning rubbers, or tarpaulin ropes.

With a flat, ergonomic profile and calibrated dimensions (51 mm in length and 13 mm in width), these hooks ensure a firm grip on elastic elements, preventing accidental detachment of the tarpaulin during high-speed travel or in strong wind conditions.

Technical specifications:

Advantages of using the 51x13 mm flat hook:

• Low-profile safety design: The optimized geometric design ensures minimal protrusion on the vehicle exterior. This reduces the risk of pedestrians, branches, or other obstacles snagging on the hook during tight maneuvers.

• Excellent corrosion resistance: Due to the dense galvanized layer, the hooks are fully protected against rust, permanent moisture, UV exposure, and salt used on public roads during winter.

• Rigid and stable fixation: Made of robust steel, these hooks do not deform or bend under the constant tension exerted by industrial bungee cords, ensuring a long service life for the entire covering system.

• Simple and universal installation: They come equipped with standardized mounting holes, allowing for quick installation via pop rivets or self-tapping screws on aluminum, steel, plywood, or directly onto the metal chassis.

Main areas of use:

• Car trailers and utility vehicles: Perimeter mounting on the sideboards of light or commercial trailers to secure flat or tall tarpaulins;

• Industrial bodywork: Outfitting tarpaulin-covered light commercial vehicles (distribution vans) for guiding and quickly securing bungee cords;

• Boats and covers: Anchor points for protective covers for boats, jet skis, or equipment stored on platforms;

• Home and household: Organizing storage spaces or creating elastic anchor points in workshops, garages, and agricultural greenhouses.

Target audience (Who is this product for):

• Owners of car trailers, towing platforms, vans, and utility vehicles;

• Mechanical workshops, auto repair shops, and companies specializing in bodywork and superstructure repairs;

• Manufacturers of trailers and commercial vehicle accessories;

• Auto parts stores, industrial hardware stores, and private users (DIY).

Installation instructions and recommendations:

1. Positioning: Align the hooks on the sideboard at equal distances (usually corresponding to the tarpaulin eyelets), ensuring that the opening faces downward to effectively retain the elastic loop.

2. Mounting: Mark the points for the holes, drill into the sideboard material, and secure the hook using aluminum/steel rivets or screws appropriate for the thickness of the bodywork wall.

3. Maintenance: Although they are anti-corrosion protected, it is recommended to clean them periodically of mud or salt deposits to ensure the smooth gliding of the bungee cord.

Conclusion

The set of 5 flat tarpaulin hooks (51x13 mm) is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a clean, resistant, and economical solution for securing automotive superstructures. Manufactured to strict industrial standards from galvanized steel, these hooks offer long-lasting durability, simple installation, and the assurance that your vehicle's tarpaulin will remain perfectly secured throughout any journey.
