Oxford Terraforce Ground Anchor

The Oxford TerraForce is a concrete-in ground anchor designed to give your bike a fixed, immovable point to lock to at home. It is set permanently into concrete, so there are no bolts or fixings for a thief to attack, and the case hardened steel head is built to resist saws, sledgehammers and angle grinders.

It suits riders securing a motorcycle or scooter in a garage, carport or driveway, and anyone whose insurer or building manager wants a recognised anchor point. Fitting is straightforward DIY work — the anchor is set into fresh concrete, and ready-mixed just-add-water concrete from a hardware store is enough for the job.

Independently tested and awarded Sold Secure Motorcycle Diamond, the highest Sold Secure motorcycle rating. Pair it with a chain up to 14mm link diameter or a cable lock.

Install into solid ground only — excavate a hole in concrete or firm sub-base, set the anchor in fresh concrete and check it sits level and square before the mix sets.
Allow the concrete to cure fully, following the concrete manufacturer's stated curing time, before loading the anchor with a chain or lock.
Position the anchor so the 54mm opening stays clear of the ground and rendered concrete, otherwise threading a chain through becomes difficult once set.
Use a chain with a link diameter of 14mm or less, and keep the chain short and off the ground so it can't be levered or struck against a hard surface.
When locking up, pass the chain through the anchor head and around a solid part of the frame rather than a wheel or removable component.
After rain or washdown, clear grit, mud and debris from inside the anchor head so it doesn't build up and foul the chain.
Surface rust or marking on the head is cosmetic; do not grind, drill or re-machine the anchor, as this compromises the case hardened surface.
Periodically check the surrounding concrete for cracking, movement or lifting, and re-set the anchor if the base has been damaged.
Keep the padlock or chain lock body off the ground and lubricate the lock mechanism, not the anchor, to prevent seizing in wet conditions.
