This goes up if you choose to do a bearing type connection. For the application I use them in the threads will withstand 1000 lbs per bolt, so for example my 8'er has 10 screw legs each withstanding 1000 lbs totaling 10k lbs. Then I weld a 1/4" x 4" round plate to distribute some more of the down force.

HEHE, now I look like a deer in headlights. Eyes just glazed over, with a numbness falling over me.
I guess it pays to know your shiet! This is why the rest of us have to look at our tanks with our heads slightly cocked.
