Cargo Net Recommendation to Secure Cargo in the Back of a Toyota Prius- A small cargo net like # 7330 might do the trick. When it is stretched it measures 60 inches by 84 inches. If the material is taught when installed then it being stretchy should not be an issue. Even if there were some slack in a stretch net, a thick and strong material might have some play but would keep items under its grasp.
Another option is the Hopkins GoGear Multifunction Truck Bed Cargo, # CARGO-NET-TRI. This net will offer more surface area coverage than a bungee cable net. It has a c

- Tow Strap Recommendation to Pull Down a Tree
- Assuming you are cutting a notch on the fall side of the tree, you should have no problem using a tow strap, like part # EM59802 to pull the tree down. In fact, it is a good idea to use a guide like a rope, strap or chain to help ensure the tree will fall in the direction you want. You could even go with a lower rated strap, like part # H10177, since it will be acting as a guide rather than pulling the entire tree.
Simply relying on gravity could turn into a guessing game when cutting trees,

- Is there a Capacity for the Erickson Horseshoe Rope Cleats # EM09090
- I spoke to my contact at Erickson and she stated that their is not a specified load capacity for the Erickson Horseshoe Rope Cleats # EM09090 that you referenced. She said the capacity is more based on the surface the # EM09090 gets attached to then the actual cleat itself.
Your best bet would be to have the # EM09090 attached to a metal cross beam or a portion of the frame to give you the highest possible overall capacity.

- Can the Vertical E-Tracks Be Used Horizontally on a Trailer Side Rail
- Yes, you can use E-Track # E19146 on your trailer side rails. The Horizontal or Vertical indicates which way the slots on the bar run. But ideally you would use the vertical running sluts if mounting on a wall or side rail. I included a link to a video review of E-Tracks for you.

- What Size are the Bolts Used in the Erickson Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchors # EM09085
- I went out to the warehouse and pulled the Erickson Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchors, # EM09085, to measure the bolts. I used a set of digital calipers which I show in the video I also made for you. The bolts are 3/8 of an inch. This is good since the hole you already have is smaller and can be enlarged as needed. I would definitely wait to test them out in the holes first before making them any larger just to be on the safe side.

- What Cargo Tie-Down Straps for Trailer Hauling a 1976 CJ5 with Off Road Tires
- Based on my research, the weight for a 1976 CJ5 can vary between 3500 and 4000 lbs depending on whether it has a hard top and on its particular engine and transmission.
Based on this the Erickson Car Tie Down Kit, part # 08504-05, is a very good choice but is not by itself sufficient to secure the Jeep for trailer transport. This Erickson kit has a working load limit (WLL) of 3300 lbs, which is below the vehicle weight.
I suggest you use this kit in conjunction with two wheel nets, such

- What are Dimensions of Erickson Single-Slot E-Track Bolt-On Tie-Down Anchor, part # EM59148
- The Erickson Single-Slot E-Track Tie-Down anchor measures 5-3/4 x 1 x 1/2 inches.
These Erickson single-slot E-Track Anchors, part # EM59148, are an ideal way to add additional single tie-down points to a trailer. The low-profile steel brackets can install on the ceiling, wall or floor of your trailer and can be inverted to provide a recessed tie-down point. They are rated for 4400 lbs each and are sold as single units. These are suitable for installation on any interior parts of your tra

- Truck Bed Tie-Downs for 2006 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
- According to Erickson, the Heavy-Duty Bull Ring tie down you mentioned will not fit Double Cab models of the first generation Tundra.
I would recommend a different type of tie down, like the Bully # WTD-823 that clamps to the underside of the bed rail. You can see a demonstration video of this product by clicking the provided link.

- How to Mount E-Track Cargo Control System, Part # E19148, To Inside of Enclosed Trailer
- The Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control tracks, part # E19148, are intended to mount to the structural components of a trailer. These locations provide the most secure mounting to ensure your cargo remains stable within your trailer during transport. Without a secure mounting location you will not be able to use the full 6000 pound working load limit provided by the tracks.
The attached video may be helpful; it demonstrates installation of the E-Track system in an enclosed trailer with int

- Mounting Hole Spacing on Erickson Horseshoe Rope Cleats, Part # EM09090
- The Erickson Horseshoe Rope Cleats (2-Pack), part # EM09090, have three mounting holes in each and include Phillips-head mounting screws.
I pulled a sample from our warehouse to take precise measurements of the mounting holes.
Please refer to the attached photo. The two mounting holes on the bottom of the horseshoe are spaced 1-7/8 inches apart, measured center of hole to center of hole. The distance between either of these bottom holes and the middle/top hole is 2-3/16 inches.

- Where to Install E-Tracks in Enclosed Trailer Carrying Polaris ATV and Motorcycles
- Since you will be using your E-Track system, part # E19148, for transporting more than one type of vehicle, you will want to try to find mounting locations that will work for all of them. The main consideration for deciding where to mount the E-Tracks is to select locations that provide structural components, such as wall studs and floor supports. These structural elements of your trailer will serve as the backbone of your E-Track system. It is important that the tracks mount to the strongest st

- Availability of 8 Foot Long Tie-Down Strap to Use on a Tarp
- To use a rubber strap you would need to attach 2 or 3 straps, like the Erickson Rubber Tarp Strap, part # EM06741, together to be able to reach that length. I do not have a single rubber tarp strap that will stretch to 8 feet.
I do offer tie-down straps and ratchet straps that would be able to give you the 8 foot distance you need. A few examples would be the Erickson Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, part # EM34417, that is 9 foot long. Also, have three choices in the 10 foot length l

- Dimensions of the Ratchet Mechanism on the Erickson Retractable Ratchet Straps, Part # EM34415
- The Erickson Retractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push-Button Release, part # EM34415, use a ratchet/spool mechanism that measures 6 inches long x 2-1/4 wide x 2-3/4 inches tall when the ratcheting handle is in the folded-down storage position. The overall hook-to-hook length when fully retracted is 13-1/4 inches.
Although this unit is not intended for permanent installations, it certainly would be possible to bolt down one hook using a 2-inch washer along with an appropriate length bolt and nut. (P

- I spoke with my contact at Erickson regarding the Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Anchor # EM4001 for your 2005 Toyota Tundra Double Cab, and she said the product you referenced will not work on your vehicle based on your description of the stake pockets.
An alternative to the Erickson Anchor # EM4001 would be the Putco Push-Up Tie-Downs # P99901. The width of the part that goes into the stake pocket measures 1-3/8 inches while the length that will extend into the hold is 3-1/2 inches. You will

- Should the Tires Sit on Top of the E-Track System When Installed in a Trailer
- The E-track system can install any way you would like on your trailer. It is common to install the E-Tracks so the wheels of a vehicle are on top of the E-track. This allows you to use wheel nets, like part # 77314, that attach directly to the E-track system. Many wheel nets typically have only one hook in front of the tire and one hook behind the tire. Installing the E-track system so the wheels are on top of the track rather than on the side provides more stability when transporting a vehicle.

- Erickson Cargo Net Recommendation for Use with a 16 ft by 9 ft Utility Trailer
- If I were you I would go with 2 Erickson Cargo Nets # EM01015. I believe this would provide you with the best possible coverage. If you combine 2 of these nets you would have enough net to cover a 16 ft by 6 ft area unstretched. With the stretching ability of the nets allowing you to cover the remaining 3 feet with enough tightness to keep everything secure.

- Can Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps EM34415 or EM34422 Be Bolted On
- the Erickson ratchet strap # EM34422 that you mentioned can be bolted on. The bolts are included which you can see in the picture on the product page. The other ratchet straps you mentioned, # EM34415, are not bolt-on.
Please note that Tie-down straps must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The load being tied down must not exceed the combined WLL of the straps being used. For example, if you are using straps with a WLL of 400 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 1,60

- Do Erickson Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, Part # EM34417, Automatically Retract
- The Erickson Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, part # EM34417, use high strength polyester straps that measure 1 inch wide by 9 feet long.
The extra strap length will retract onto the storage hub when the red button (located under the ratcheting handle) is pressed. The auto-retract function is spring operated.
Depending on the load you are securing you may want to consider the Erickson Chrome-Protector Sleeves, part # EM06305-2. These easily slip over the straps and can be positioned

Your Nissan Frontier might have the factory bed rail caps installed that would cover up the stake pockets on your truck bed. You will need to cut out the section of the bed rail that is located over the stake pocket to allow the Bull Ring Anchors to be installed on your truck bed. The anchors will drop into the stake pocket and the lower bracket wil

- Will Erickson Anchor Trailer Rails # EM59099 Fit 2006 Dodge Dakota With Under the Rail Bedliner
- I have found, after speaking to my contact at Erickson, that the Erickson Anchor Pickup Rails # EM59099 should fit your 2006 Dodge Dakota truck bed under the rail with a bed liner installed. These anchors clamp around the bed rail so you will need to ensure there is enough clearance for them to attach.
While this product has not been tested in every situation, there is a 1-3/4 inch opening when the tightening screw is completely open, which should give you enough room to use this item on your

- Mounting Erickson E-Track # E19146 to 6x12 Utility Trailer Deck for Hauling Polaris 900 RZR
- Usually every third mounting hole in the E-Track should have a screw securing it to the wood trailer deck; please see photo. For your 1190 pound load this should be sufficient. The one and three-quarter inch hex head wood screws you plan to use are a good choice.
It would be beneficial to mount some of the screws through the trailer's metal frame, if possible.
We researched the stock tires for your Polaris 900 RZR, which are 27 X 9 - 12 in front and 27 X 11 - 12 in back. In case you do no

- Wheel Net Recommendation for a 2012 RZR XP with 27x9R-14 Front Tires and 27x11R-14 Rear Tires
- Due to the width of your rear tires, I would recommend looking at the Highland Wheel Net, # 12755. This wheel net will fit tires up to 25 inches wide and it will also accommodate your 27 inch diameter tires. Most of our standard wheel straps have a 12 inch cross strap which may not provide the best security for your 11 inch wide wheels. For your front tires, you could use the Erickson Wheel Net, # EM58522. This wheel net will work with work well for your 9 inch wide front tires and will fit tire

- Installing an E-Track Cargo Control to Secure a Harley Electra Glide in a Enclosed Trailer

- Will the Adjustable Wheel Net by Erickson fit the Wheels of a 2013 Dodge Dart
- You will need to know the outer diameter of the wheel of whatever vehicle you plan on using the Adjustable Wheel Net with E-Track Fittings # 77314. This wheel net will fit most tires up to 29 inches in diameter.
I did a little research and the two most common tire sizes for the 2013 Dodge Dart are 205/55-16 and 225/45-17. These sizes have dimensions of 24-3/4 inches and 25 inches respectively. Based on that it should work on your 2013 Dodge Dart.

- Tie Downs Needed to Secure CJ3A Willys Jeep to Flat Bed Trailer
- The Erickson Tie Down Kit you mentioned, part # 08504-05 would work great for you as long as the hook on the end of the strap can secure to the tie downs you mentioned. You would need four of the straps, one to secure each corner of the vehicle. Due to the 3300 lb safe working load limit (WLL) of each strap, you will have more than enough capacity to secure your Willys to the trailer. The 13,200 lbs of capacity will be exactly what you need on those rough roads.

Or you could just get Erickson Re-Tractable, Ratcheting, Bolt-On Tie-Down Straps # EM31319. The ratchet of this product is designed to be bolted down. Check out the review video for this product that I attached.

- Capacity of Erickson Axle Strap # 58505
- The listed capacity is for when the straps are used when looped over the axle. Although the capacity mentioned is 10,000 lbs, the safe working load limit is 3300 lbs. The safe capacity for the axle strap is 3300 lbs, but the break strength is tested at 10000 lbs.
In other words, each strap is rated at 3300 lbs, but are capable of withstanding the occasional strain and shock of hitting a pothole that would place additional stress on the strap. Because you want that cushion there, exceeding th
