An anchor is configured to be slidably received within an elongated channel defined between a base rail and an upright angle rail of an angle rail utility trailer. The anchor includes an elongated body having first and second side walls configured complementary to the channel so as to be slidably receivable within the channel, an anchor head extending from a top end of the first and/or second side wall, at least one support surface configured to engage the bottom rail of the trailer to support the body of the anchor received within the channel on the bottom rail with the anchor head extending above the bottom rail, and means for engaging the first and/or second side wall and/or bottom rail following insertion of the elongated body into the channel to prevent or restrict upward movement of the anchor within the channel.
