Wingits stainless commercial grab bar anchors GBW40
WingIt says they will hold up to 1,000 pounds, and they do appear to be very sturdy anchors. That ring of 3M VHB adhesive tape is also rumored to be some bad stuff. But a thousand pounds is a lot of weight, so use common sense. If you attach a chain and try to hoist the motor out of your truck, you might be disappointed.
One side of the box shows a picture of some big dude holding two unsuspecting kids while swinging from a grab bar mounted a few feet off the floor. Frankly, I think it would have been much more impressive if they were hanging off the side of a building somewhere - maybe twenty stories above a busy street, with a big crowd watching. But I guess some child advocate would have gotten involved and ruined the experiment.
The rest of the box is covered with useful (+/-) information, and I'll include as much as possible before I get tired of typing:

COMMERCIAL Grab Bar WingIt - GBW40
WingIt Grab Bar Fastening Systems are made from 18/8 Stainless Steel and can be used in most hollow wall construction (see Installation Instructions). Typical straight Grab Bars use two GBW40s. WingIts become waterproof as they are installed into the wall. GBW40s can be installed into wall substrates (tile, drywall, etc.) up to 1.5" thick. GBW40s use 3M's best waterproofing adhesive to install completely waterproof in minutes. 1.25" hole required for installation
