The Cross Plate Anchor is an earth tension anchoring device installed in augured holes to provide structural support in utility, construction, and telecommunications applications. It distributes loads effectively in soil to enhance stability and safety in outdoor environments.
The anchor features one-piece construction with two ribbed structural steel plates welded in a cross configuration. A nut retainer on the bottom secures the nut from a forged eye rod (sold separately), ensuring reliable soil engagement. The anchor is inserted into a diagonally bored, undercut hole positioned at 90 degrees to the guy wire. A rod trench aligns the rod with the load direction, allowing the cross plates to embed into the soil mass while the nut retainer holds the rod in place to resist pulling forces.
Construction from hot-dipped galvanized steel with an additional rust inhibitor coating provides corrosion resistance and durability. The ribbed plates offer structural reinforcement, and the anchor complies with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications for standardized reliability across diverse soil conditions.
Available models accommodate hole sizes of 16, 20, and 24 inches (150 to 400 square inches area) and rod sizes of 5/8, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/4 inches, with weights ranging from 10 to 33 pounds for different soil classes and holding capacities.

Frequently Asked Questions（FAQS）
What is a Cross Plate Anchor and how does it work?
A Cross Plate Anchor is designed for installation in augured holes and is formed by two structural plates shaped for reinforcement. It works by being positioned in an undercut hole at a 90-degree angle to the guy wire, where the plates provide stability and a nut retainer secures the rod in place.
What materials are used and how are they protected against corrosion?
The anchors are manufactured from high-strength structural steel with reinforced ribs and are hot-dip galvanized per ASTM specifications. They are also coated with a rust inhibitor to provide long-lasting protection against corrosion and ensure maximum durability in various environmental conditions.
What is the holding capacity of the anchor?
The holding capacity depends on soil conditions, with ratings such as 18,000 to 30,000 pounds for soil classes 5 to 7.
What sizes and rod diameters are available?
RaxPower Cross Plate Anchors come in sizes such as 16-inch, 20-inch, and 24-inch hole diameters, with compatible rod sizes including 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, and 1-1/4-inch. Specific weights and areas vary by model.
How do I install a Cross Plate Anchor?
Installation involves auguring a hole to the specified size, undercutting it for proper angle alignment, cutting a rod trench, securing the rod to the anchor, placing it in the hole, and refilling with tamping. Suitable machinery is required for safety and effectiveness.
In what applications are Cross Plate Anchors commonly used?
