Products - Duckbill® Earth Anchors

The Duckbill Principle: Duckbill anchor is a patented labour and time savings device, it works like a toggle bolt in soil. Duckbills are driven into the ground (with no holes, no dig ging and no concrete), providing a safe and environmentally sensitive installation. An upward pull on the anchor tendon rotates the Duckbill into a perpendicular "anchor lock" position in undisturbed soil. The result: superb holding capacities. Duckbill anchor systems offer the most effective, lightweight and economical solutions to any anchoring application, large or small.

Typical installation of a Duckbill® anchor

Duckbill anchors are driven into the sod using a hammer and drive steel. As the anchor is being drilled in, it is actually compacting the soil around the anchor head. Once the anchor is at the proper depth, the drive steel is removed.
