These work really well as floating dock anchors. Depending on the size of the tire, they weigh 160 to 220 lbs. And I can roll them to move them.

A start up fly by night dock crew built a bunch of these on our lake then vanished as soon as stuff started to fail. Here's a great example of what inexperience can cause. There was only one weld holding the horizontal 13# i beam to the 33# vertical beam.

For the repair did a parameter weld, top and bottom, had to get in the water for that. And then added the angle brackets for over kill.
