• Mounting E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 Upside-Down
• The E-Track Wood Beam Socket you mention, part # 59149 can be mounted in any orientation you wish.As you can see in the photo I provided, the slots in the E-Track measure 2 inches apart on center. Moving from one slot to the next would provide 2 inches of adjustment. There is a small amount of side-to-side movement once the beam socket is connected to the E-Track.

• Installation of Erickson E-Track # E-19148 to Plywood Trailer Floor
• Securing the Erickson E-Track # E-19148 to 3/4 inch plywood should be sufficient. To secure the track to the plywood, you can use screws, or rivets. Using 1/2 inch screws would be a good length with 3/4 inch plywood. You will want to attach screws at least every other mounting hole. For tie downs and straps I would recommend either the E-Track Tie-Off Ring # 59131, or E-Track 2 inch D-Ring, part # E59143. Also available is the Erickson E-Track Strap with Ratchet, part # EM59136.

• Do the Rings on the Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Tie Down # EM4001 Lock in the Upward Position
• The Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Tie Downs, part # EM4001 do not lock into the upward position. We do carry some stake pocket tie downs that will lock. The Pilot Pop Up Truck Bed Tie Downs, part # WTD-810 are rated for 200 lbs per pair. The tie downs are constructed of durable stainless steel. If you need something with a higher weight rating, I would recommend the Putco Push-Up Tie Downs, part # P99901. With a 1000 lb weight rating per pair, these chrome plated stainless tie downs would

• Height of Horizontal E-Track Part # E19148
• Routing out a channel in the trailer like you describe is a very slick method of attaching the e-track that works very well. The e-track is .430 or a bit less than 7/16 of an inch thick (see photo).

• Can E-Track Trailer Cargo Control be Mounted to an Aluminum Trailer
• The E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # E19148, can be secured to a surface using screws, rivets, or welding. Since your surface is aluminum you would not weld it. Something like machine screws would work better. The E-Track does not come with hardware so you can use what will work best for your trailer by picking up some hardware at a local hardware store. I have included a link to a video review of the E-Track for you.

• Will the Erickson Bull Ring Anchor # EM4001 Fit Stake Pockets on a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
• Although Erickson tells me that their Bull Ring Anchor, part # EM4001 fits the stake pockets on most Dodge Ram models, manufacturers have been known to alter the stake pocket dimensions slightly from year to year. If you go to the product description page by using the provided link, and then scroll down, you will see the dimensions of the Anchor. If you compare the measurements of the anchor to those of your stake pockets, you will have a better idea if the anchors will work with your 2001 3/

• Adjustable Wheel Net for a Can-Am 27x9x12 Tire
• The Adjustable Wheel Net, # 77314, is a universal fit item that is designed to fit most tires up to, but not exceeding, 29 inches in diameter. Your Can-Am tires are 27 inches in diameter so there is a very good chance the wheel net will fit. This wheel net is designed to be used with the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control System, # E19148. I have included a link to a video review of this system for you. If you do not have the E-Track system, we also have a wheel need for tires up to 29 inches i

• Will Erickson Bull Ring Anchors # em4001 Fit a 1989 Ford F-150
• The Erickson Bull Ring Anchors, part # em4001, are universal fit items and designed to fit most Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ford and Toyota pickups. That being said, there are variances in bed designs, so it would be best to double check your stake pockets before ordering. Check the pictures on the product page for the measurement diagrams and check your stake pockets for fit. I am including pictures of the anchors with the measurements listed and I am including a link to a video of the anchors be

• Availability of Flush Mounted Stake Bed Pocket Tie Downs for a 1955 Chevrolet Truck
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled a couple of flush mounted stake pocket tie downs to see if they would work in the 2 inch X 1 3/8 inch stake pockets on your 55 Chevrolet truck. I produced a short video showing how these tie downs might work for you. As long as the stake pocket is open under the bed rail for a 1-7/8 inch wide x 2-1/16 inch long plate, the pop up truck bed tie down, # WTD-810, should work well for you. The # EM4001 may be just a bit wide to fit in the stake pocket but it

• How to Attach an Erickson Vehicle Recovery Strap to Vehicles without Trailer Hitches or Tow Hooks
• On the one vehicle you will need to find a solid connection point like a tow hook or the vehicle frame. The more centered this connection point, the better for the vehicle. You will pass one end of the Erickson Vehicle Recovery Strap, # EM59802, around the frame and use a Tow Strap Cinch Bone, like # BC-902, to hold it in place. You could also loop the strap through itself by pulling the other end all the way through the loop. Make a similar connection on the other vehicle. Make sure that pe

• Recommendation for a Cargo Net for a Duck Boat with a Fold Down Duck Blind
• When the net is stretched out all the way on the Erickson Cargo Net, # EM01015, the square gaps will be approximately 25 inches by 25 inches. The net is only supposed to be stretched 75 percent beyond its original 72x96 inch dimensions. This would be 126 x 168 inches (10-1/2 x 14 feet). What would probably work better if you were using more than one anyway would be the Hopkins GoGear Multifunction Truck Bed Cargo Net, # CARGO-NET-TRI, if you wanted more coverage on the blind.

• Will Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Retractable Anchors Fit a 2006 Toyota Tundra with tonneau Cover
• The Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Retractable Anchor 2 Pack, # EM4001, does fit most Chevy, GMC, Dodge, Ford F-Series and Toyota Tundra trucks. But we do recommend checking the measurements of the anchors, as you will see on the product page, against the stake pockets of your truck to verify fit. If the tonneau cover you have requires the use of the stake pockets then you will not be able to install these anchors. Once installed and in the closed position, they will be flush with the top of t

• Is the Bull Ring Anchor Compatible with a Truxedo Low Pro QT Roll Top Tonneau Cover
• If your tonneau cover utilizes the stake pockets in your truck bed, the Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Retractable Anchor, # EM4001 will not install correctly. We have a video installation of this item for you to see how it installs. I would recommend going with something like the AnchorTrax Truck Bed and Trailer Cargo Control System, # AT3375, which can be installed in a location that does not interfere with your tonneau cover. Two sets of these would be needed to have tie downs in all fou

• Tie Downs and E-Track Recommendation for Securing a BMW K1200, ATV, and Dirt Bike on a Trailer
• I would recommend using 2 sections of Horizontal E-Track, # E19148, down each side and 2 sections of Horizontal E-Track down the middle of your trailer, 6 sections in all, to give you as many tie down options as possible for securing all of your different toys. Your BMW K1200 sounds like the heaviest item you will need to tie down. I recommend using 2 packages of the Retractable Ratchet Straps, # 34414, along with 4 of the E-Track Tie-Off Rings, # 59131.

• What is the Stretched Size of the Erickson Stretchable Truck Bed Cargo Net
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled an Erickson Stretchable Truck Bed Cargo Net, # EM01012. According to the included safety sheet, the net should not be stretched more than 75 percent of its unstretched dimensions (52 x 70 inches). That would equal 91 inches wide by 122.5 inches long when stretched to the recommended maximum.

• Is Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control Available With Galvanized Mounting Base
• It is possible that the galvanized plate is a custom job, it could be part of the cargo truck, or the track was already installed in the truck from the manufacturer. The item you selected, Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, part # EM59150 is zinc plated. The E-Track can be mounted using screws, or rivets. If using screws, I would use a stronger grade screw like sheet metal screws. For tie downs and straps I would recommend either the E-Track Tie-Off Ring # 59131, or E-Track 2 inch D-R

• Will Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Retractable Anchors Fit a 2006 Chevy Silverado with LineX Bedliner
• If the bedliner on your 2006 Chevy Silverado has cutouts for the stake pockets, then it is possible that the Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Retractable Anchors, # EM4001, will fit. However, you will want to check the measurements on the stake pockets against the measurements of the tie downs which are on the product page. There is also a possibility that you may have to trim some of the bedliner if it interferes with installation of the tie downs. I have included a link to a video review of t

• I spoke with my contact at Erickson and she could not confirm that this Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Retractable Anchor # EM4001 would work on your 2009 Toyota Tundra. The best way for you to determine if this will fit in your vehicle would be to measure the stake pockets of your vehicle and see if your pockets are the correct measurement.

• E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 Recommendation and Compatibility

I spoke with my contact at Erickson and she went out and put a E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 into an E-Track Trailer Cargo Control # E19148 and found that the # 59149 would not hang over the bottom of the E-track once installed and would work for your setup.

• Can I Use The Vertical E-Track E19146 In The Horizontal Position For My Covered Cargo Trailer
• My contact at Erickson confirmed that you are definitely able to use the Vertical E-Track # E19146 in the horizontal position. The advantage for you is that it will mount to the space you need it to fit. The only disadvantage of using the Vertical Track # E19146 is that there are less anchor points to hook into than the Horizontal E-Track, part # EM59150. To connect straps to the E-Track, you will need to use E-Track 2 Inch D-Ring, part # E59143. I have linked a video review of the D-ri

• Attaching Galvanized E Track to Flooring In Trailer
• I would recommend using the galvanized lag bolts you refer to. Due to the thickness of the floor, I do not think it would be necessary for all the lag bolts to go through the flooring and bolt to the frame, but having the 4 at each end and two in the center would be a good idea. The remaining bolts, spaced an one foot intervals could be driven into the 2x8 planks. The galvanized e track would hold up well to the weather.

• Using The E-Track Trailer Cargo Control # EM59150 On Trailer To Secure ATVs and Motorcycles
• Installing the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, part # EM59150, would work well to strap down your ATVs and motorcycles on your V-nose trailer. You could mount the E-Track sideways or perpendicular to the trailer frame over the floor as you described. The E-Track can also be mounted on the wall of trailers, so perhaps you could mount the track for the ATVs on the floor towards the front of the trailer. Then you could mount track on the trailer walls for the motorcycles or on the floor as well.

• Using E Track to Secure Vehicles
• I would recommend installing the 5 foot sections of E Track, part # E19148 directly to the cargo floor of the truck. You could then use a series of Adjustable Wheel Nets, part # 77314 to secure the vehicle wheels to the E Track. The method of securing the E Track to the truck floor will depend on the construction of the floor itself.
