About Tie Down Engineering
Tie Down Engineering was founded in 1969 by Chuck MacKarvich, who started the company in his garage with a vision to create practical, reliable solutions for construction workers. His first innovation, ground anchors designed for everyday jobsite use, set the standard for quality and ingenuity that still defines the brand today.
Over more than 55 years, Tie Down Engineering has grown into a world-class engineering and manufacturing firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, earning more than 95 patents and building a catalog of 7,000-plus products while maintaining ISO 9001:2015 certification. The company's offerings span boat trailer parts, anchoring systems, and cargo control products serving construction, utility, industrial, marine, agriculture, and outdoor living markets.
As a family-owned manufacturer, Tie Down Engineering has also entered the manufactured housing and roofing safety markets alongside its traditional marine and cargo control lines. ChatMRO indexes the Tie Down Engineering catalog so buyers can search by product category, trailer part type, or anchoring system to find matching hardware.
