Fortress Aluminium Anchor – High-Performance Marine Anchoring Solution

Description

FORTRESS ALUMINIUM ANCHORS

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
For over three decades, the much lighter Fortress® has out-performed substantially heavier steel anchors
in holding power tests conducted around the world.

In the US Navy tests, not only did the Fortress® anchors out-perform heavier steel anchors, they were also
able to withstand pull loads that averaged over 200x their own weight … and without incurring serious
damage, which was noted in the test report summary:
“The fact that Fortress® anchors incurred no significant structural damage at such high holding ratios suggests that the anchors have been extensively engineered from both the hydrodynamic and structural
standpoints.”

SUPERIOR DESIGN
Fortress® anchors are constructed using a high-tensile, corrosion-resistant, aluminum magnesium alloy that is precision- machined into
interlocking components with no welds to weaken the metal. This results in a lighter, easy to handle anchor with superior holding power.
They are precision-machined for sharpness and quick penetration into common sea bottoms, which insures faster setting performance.

SUPERIOR WARRANTY
Fortress® anchors offer a Lifetime Parts Replacement Warranty. In the unlikely event of damaging an anchor part, Fortress® will replace the
damaged part for free, customers only pay for shipping and handling.
