The anchors clip into the track and a spring loaded clip keeps them from coming loose. Actually loose isn't the correct word, because although they are always loose, they are secure. They have a D ring to attach tie-downs to. I'm sure they have a rated strength, but I don't know what it is and have never had one come loose.
I picked mine up at a trailer supplier. Most of them carry track and clips. The track is affordable ($20.00 per 10 foot section a couple of months back) but they gig you pretty good for the clips. If I remember correctly, they were $8 +/- each.
The one downside I don't know much about is how well they stand up to weather as mine are installed on the inside of my trailer. They may be available galvanized, but I don't know where.

I have "L" track in my truck and love it. It's held up in the bed,exposed to the elements since 2000 with no problem. I wouldn't leave the anchors exposed though as they would corrode since they are unfinished. "VT" track looks to be pretty much the same thing so I imagine a search on Google would give ya' lots of info.

I don't know if it's the same stuff, but McMaster-Carr sells Cargo-Securing Track and accessories. Horizontal and vertical with accessories. They have the spring-loaded fitting with D ring rated at 2000 lbs.
