<h3>Tie Down Engineering: Over 55 Years of American-Made Innovation</h3><p>When Chuck MacKarvich started Tie Down in his Atlanta, Georgia garage in 1969, his goal was straightforward: build practical, reliable solutions for working people. More than five decades later, that founding spirit still drives every product the company engineers. Today, Tie Down has grown into one of America's largest family-owned manufacturers, with <strong>over 95 patents</strong>, a catalog of 7,000+ products, and ISO 9001:2015 certification — all produced right here in the USA.</p><p>Tie Down's reach spans a remarkable range of industries, from marine and roofing to manufactured housing, agriculture, safety, and renewable energy. What unifies every division is a commitment to engineering-first design, precision manufacturing, and domestic production. The company's Atlanta facilities cover over 500,000 square feet and are equipped with state-of-the-art CNC sheet and tube cutting, robotic welding, injection molding, and tool-and-die capabilities — technology Tie Down was among the first in the Southeast to adopt as far back as the early 1980s.</p><h3>Trailer &amp; Marine Products Built to Work Hard</h3><p>For trailer builders, boat owners, and marine enthusiasts, Tie Down Engineering is a go-to source for components that hold up under real-world demands.

Product Details

The Tie Down Engineering 86028 is a zinc-plated steel roller shaft designed as a dependable replacement component for boat trailer roller assemblies. Measuring 5/8 in. in diameter by 6-1/4 in. in length, this shaft is built to deliver long-lasting corrosion resistance in both fresh and saltwater environments, making it an ideal choice for routine trailer maintenance or seasonal rebuild projects.

Compatible with standard bow roller and keel roller brackets, this shaft is engineered to secure boat trailer rollers firmly in place while allowing smooth, free rotation during loading and launching. The zinc plating provides a durable protective barrier against rust and the harsh conditions that marine environments demand.

Key Features:

  • Zinc-plated steel construction for superior corrosion and rust resistance
  • 5/8 in. diameter x 6-1/4 in. length — fits standard bow and keel roller brackets
  • Includes two pal nuts (cap nuts) for a complete, secure installation
  • Compatible with 5-inch boat trailer rollers with a 5/8 in. shaft bore
  • Suitable for use in fresh and saltwater conditions
  • Manufactured by Tie Down Engineering — an industry leader in marine trailer hardware since 1969

This kit includes everything needed for a straightforward replacement: the roller shaft and two pal nuts. Whether restoring a worn trailer or upgrading an existing setup, the Tie Down Engineering 86028 delivers reliable performance right out of the package.
