Duckbill anchors
|
THE DUCKBILL
PRINCIPLE:
Duckbill anchors, a patented
labor and time saving device, work like a toggle bolt in soil. Duckbills
are driven into the ground (with no holes, no digging 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 an anchoring
application, large or small.

Driving the Duckbill

| 1.
DRIVE ANCHOR TO DESIRED DEPTH:
Duckbill anchors are
driven into the soil using a hammer and drive steel.
As the anchor is being driven, it is actually compacting the
soil around the anchor head.

SETTING ANCHORS IN THE SOIL: |
| To set the anchor
in normal soil, wrap the wire rope around the drive steel or
insert rod through loop in wore rope and pull upward a
distance slightly longer than the length of the anchor
body. The upward pull on the wire rope rotates the
anchor into a perpendicular anchor locking position in
undisturbed soil. |

LARGER DUCKBILL ANCHORS:
To set larger anchors, use
the fulcrum (lever) principle, manual or hydraulic jack,
winch or post puller.
