Wedge Boss Pattress Plate
The Wedge Boss Pattress Plate provides high load transfer while allowing anchors to be driven at angles of up to 45 degrees. Its flexibility makes it suitable for challenging installations.
Features:
- Supports angled installations up to 45 degrees.
- High load transfer capability.
Applications:
- Complex anchoring projects requiring angled flexibility.
Flat Pattress Plate
Flat Pattress Plates are versatile solutions designed primarily for slope stabilisation where anchors are driven perpendicular to the surface. However, they can also accommodate angled installations when paired with tapered washers. These plates can be secured using either bars with load nuts or wires with barrel and wedge grips.
Features:
- Bespoke shapes and sizes available.
- Compatible with a variety of Vulcan anchor sizes.
- Flexible for angled requirements with tapered washers.
Applications:
- Slope stabilisation projects.
- Infrastructure requiring secure anchoring.
Flat Pattress Plate with Wire

Features:
- Bespoke shapes and sizes available.
- Flexible securing options using wire systems.
Applications:
- Projects requiring adaptable anchoring techniques.
Tapered Washer Pattress Plate
Tapered Washers are used with Flat Pattress Plates for applications requiring flexible installation angles for up to 20 degrees and can support high load capacities.

What Is a Vulcan Earth Anchor?
A Vulcan Earth Anchor® is a percussion driven mechanical ground anchor. It can also be referred to as an Earth Anchor or Percussion Anchor.
Vulcan Earth Anchors are used as a cost effective and rapidly installed system to provide a positive force on a verity or projects.
The Vulcan Earth Anchor range was designed by Anchor Systems (International) Ltd as a simple, reliable and cost-effective ground anchoring solution with the ability to provide immediate loading capacities from 1 – 450kN in displaceable ground conditions with extensive applications.
The concept involves a specially designed earth anchor with a larger surface area, attached to high yield tie bars or tendons to suit a variety of conditions, being driven into the ground where it is locked in position. The tensile load is applied, and the exposed end locked off and terminated.
With their ease of use and speed of installation, Vulcan Earth Anchors provide a time and cost saving alternative to more traditional means of anchoring, particularly where tight programme schedules are involved. This combined with the wide range of sizes available means that the Vulcan Earth Anchor has gained recognition across a vast array of applications internationally.
Benefits:
- Larger surface area allowing the Vulcan Earth Anchor to achieve the greatest holding capacity in all ground conditions
- Rapid installation
- Largest range of anchors in the World ranging from 1 – 450kN+
- We are the only company globally to manufacture and stock fully stainless-steel systems
- Bespoke design available
- Huge stock of plant and products with next day delivery available
- Made in Britain

Design
We work with several Consultant Engineers that support us in providing fully indemnified designs for your projects whilst taking into account the most cost-effective solutions.
When deciding which systems to use on your projects we will always look at conducting a site test so we can be sure that you get the correct product needed and will determine what plant is required for you to complete the job.

Training & On-Site Support
We offer bespoke training for our entire product and plant range which can take place either at our head office in West Sussex or on site. This training will then allow your team to install our products themselves which depending on the size of your project could save you a significant amount of money.
As well as training and design, our on-site support has always been a key service to our clients. We can offer additional advice on site as well toolbox talks and site specific advice, we usually attend for the first day(s) of the installation just to offer some tips and advice and make sure that everyone installing is happy in a practical setting with handling the anchors and equipment.
