Breakaway Fittings

These Breakaway Fittings are desirable in some strap assemblies to eliminate the need for an additional buckle, such as an Overcenter Buckle or a Ratchet Buckle. This saves on space when tie down conditions are tight.

Tensioning of the straps is accomplished by pulling the handhold. The Breakaway Fitting’s teeth catch the webbing and bite down onto it, firmly holding it in place at the desired amount of tension. The fitting is released by lifting the spring-loaded retainer and sliding the fitting free of the track.

The sideplates, studs, and cross pins are engineered using heat treated alloy steel and are coated in a cadmium plated finish for enhanced resistance against corrosive damage. The retainers are constructed from heat-treated cast steel. The fittings are available as adjustable or as nonadjustable with a Ring. Other styles may be available on special request and may be subject to minimums.

Buckles

Cargo restraint strap assemblies can be designed and fabricated for securing cargo typical for commercial aircraft use. Tie down arrangements are custom designed with your choice of tensioning device and end fittings in order to safely support cargo on pallets in compliance with TSO; mandatory with no exceptions for all aircraft restraint strap assemblies starting with January 2016.

Ancra Aircraft-quality straps are available with a choice of overcenter (70059) or ratchet (70060) buckle and with either snap hooks (-10 configuration) or double stud ISO fittings (-11 configuration). You also have a choice of the length of the strap in feet (to the nearest foot) with a maximum of 24 feet and a minimum of 6 feet. A wide range of webbing colors is also available for you to choose from.

When it comes to picking the right tensioning device, it’s best to keep in mind the device’s ease of use and leverage. Overcenter Buckles provide solid and quick tensioning while Ratchet Buckles are a favorite among the industry for their easy operating. Both keep a firm grip on the strap in order to maintain a steady and stable hold over the important cargo.

Ratchet Buckle

For a very easy-to-use tensioning device, you can never go wrong with the strength of a Ratchet Buckle from Ancra Aircraft. These buckles are one of the most reliable ways to secure a load, making them a popular choice among freight handling operators everywhere, both on the road and in the air.

To tension a tie down strap using a ratchet buckle, you just need to feed the strap through the spool, pull it so that there’s no slack, and then work the ratchet until the strap is nice and tight against the cargo, holding is steady and stable in a viselike grip. Throughout the process, you remain in control over how much you want to tighten down the webbing. This is the ideal tensioning device if you want to experience full cargo control.

Overcenter Buckle

This unique 1" Overcenter Buckle features both simplicity and easy operation while retaining a reliable grip on the strap or net’s webbing. Tension is applied manually, allowing you to remain fully in control throughout the tensioning process so that you can ensure that the webbing isn’t too tight or too loose.

Tension is applied by pulling the web handhold and rotating lever. The lever is self-closing and will automatically rotate to a fully closed, detent position. Release is accomplished by pulling upward on the web handhold. The bottom surface is cushioned by the webbing to help eliminate rattling as well as potential damage caused by the buckle vibrating against the cargo. We’ve engineered our Overcenter Buckle to meet FAA requirements for use on tie down straps and nets.

Cargo Net Fittings

A cargo net essentially useless until you equip it with some of Ancra Aircraft’s solid and reliable Cargo Net Fittings. These fittings are engineered from high-quality materials in order to help you establish a durable connection between the net and the anchor point, allowing you to fully immobilize and restrain your commercial aircraft cargo. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, including the Single Stud, Single Stud Locking, and Double Stud Fittings. Each one is designed to work flawlessly with the aircraft track or anchor plate for smooth and solid connection that you can trust.

Single Stud Cargo Fittings

Ancra Aircraft’s Single Stud Cargo Fittings are normally used in strap and net applications to attach to aircraft tracks and anchor plates. They are designed to fit aircraft seat tracks with the track cross section per MS33601, narrow-profile aircraft tracks, and 40000 anchor plates. Once fitted, they provide a clear and reliable connection that supports the rest of the tie down assembly.

The fitting is easily inserted into and removed from the track by simply lifting the spring-loaded retainer and sliding the fitting in the track. The entire process takes only a few seconds to fully secure the fitting into the track or to remove it. Built for strength, the studs are engineered from heat-treated steel alloy, the retainers are constructed from cast steel, and the rings and springs are stainless steel. Other styles may be available on special request and may be subject to minimums.

Single Stud Locking Cargo Fittings

Ancra Aircraft’s Single Stud Locking Cargo Fittings are the same as our standard Single Stud Cargo Fittings, but these unique fittings have a special locking mechanism for added security. This locking mechanism comes in the form of either a Safety Pin or a Safety Pin attached to a Cable for additional security. The Safety Pin holds the fitting securely in place along the track or in the anchor plate, keeping it firmly secured throughout the flight. Other styles of these fittings may be available on special request and may be subject to minimums.

Double Stud Cargo Fittings

Double Stud Cargo Fittings offer a more durable and reliable connection for use in heavy-duty strap, net, or bulk cargo restraint applications. This is mainly due to the fact that these fittings use two spaces in the track rather than a single space, creating more stability.

The fittings are designed to quickly attach to standard-duty and heavy-duty aircraft track or pallet edge rails. They can be easily inserted or removed by lifting the spring-loaded retainer and sliding the fitting into or out of the track. The entire process only takes a few seconds, saving you a lot of precious time for the rest of the securement job.

Built for durability, the bodies are engineered from forged 4130 steel with high-strength malleable cast steel plungers and high-carbon steel rings. The Round Ring or Twisted Ring can accommodate a variety of different end fittings to establish a strong and stable connection. Upon special request, other styles and variations may be available and may be subject to minimum quantity requirements.

Hooks

Ancra Aircraft provides you with different styled hooks that can be used in a variety of strap and net applications for securing cargo. Hooks are some of the most reliable end fittings since they’re able to connect directly with the anchor point to establish a strong attachment.

The simple yet durable shape of the Flat Hook allows it to easily mate with different types of anchor points. The Keeper feature offers extra reliability and security to help keep the hook firmly in place.

We also offer our Narrow Wire Hook, which is designed with a slim frame that allows you to easily attach it to hard-to-reach anchor points. In situations in which space is limited, it’s narrow shape is a very critical feature. This hook is also National Aerospace Standard compliant with an NAS number of 1211D10.
