Various embodiments provide an anchorage system comprising an elongate track defining an interior channel and an anchorage device securable at any of plural longitudinal positions on the track. The track comprises a base and has first and second sides, a longitudinal channel opening which opens in an outward face of the track and is defined between first and second retaining flanges at the outward face, said flanges projecting in towards one another and overlying the interior channel, the flanges having edge faces directed laterally towards one another across the channel opening and outward surfaces which are comprised in the outward face of the track. The interior channel is defined by an outwardly-directed surface of the base, laterally inwardly-facing side wall surfaces defining lateral extremities of the channel, and by inwardly-directed faces of the retaining flanges directed towards the base. The anchorage device comprises a body, at least one retaining foot and a stem portion connecting the body and the at least one retaining foot, the foot being laterally wider than the stem portion and the anchorage device being engageable in the track with the foot in the interior channel, the stem portion extending through the channel opening between the retaining flanges and the body outside the track with an inward face of the body overlying the outward face of the track. The anchorage device is tiltable relative to the track around a longitudinal axis, under lateral load applied to the body of the anchorage device, to a tilted position at which tilt is limited by engagement of an outward face of the foot at the first side of the track with the inward face of the first retaining flange at respective contact regions of the foot and flange, and/or by engagement of an undersurface of the device body at the second side of the track against the outward face of the track, and/or by engagement of an inward face of the foot against the outwardly-directed surface of the base of the track. The inward face of the retaining flange at said contact region is not angled outwards in the direction towards the median line of the channel, or is angled outwards at an angle of less than 10°.
