Tighten the support, hehe, for reference only
tie-down lug -- fastening hook, securing ring
I think “tie down lug” refers to a fixing ring; in the context of tank support, it means something that is used for fixation.
A tie-down lug is a ring used for securing things. Similarly, container unloading stations use tie-down straps that are attached at one end to the container’s chassis and at the other end to the platform of the unloading station, thereby securing the container in place on the station.
