Best Versatile Tie-Down Options for a Cargo Trailer
Question:
I have a cargo trailer in which Id like to install a tie-down system. Its used mainly for furniture and household goods. Id like some versatility. I like the looks of the Erickson Horizontal E-Track system, but is there one more suitable to my needs?

I am not sure how many of the Erickson E-Track systems you have seen but it really is your best bet when it comes to versatility and functionality. Not only do they have the Horizontal E-Track, like part # E19148, but they also have Vertical E-Track like part # E19146.
You could install both types of track on your cargo trailer (if it is enclosed) and then move the attachment points around by either using the Erickson E-Track Strap # EM59136 or using the Tie-Off w/ D-Ring # E59143 along with standard retractable ratchet straps like part # EM34415.
I have attached a few photos so you can get an idea of what other customers have done.
