How To Add Shelves To E-Tracks Inside a Box Truck

Question

Question:

Hello, Need to install shelving racks made of 1inch steel box stockinet a truck with two E-Tracks installed on the walls. I will need the E-Track in parts of the truck. Is there anything like a welding plate that fits into the E-track? Trying not to destroy the E-Track and maybe allow shelving to be removed at a later date.

It sounds like to me that you are wanting to attach shelves to the e-tracks in your box truck. If that is the case then what we have for this is the CargoSmart Shelf Track Brackets part # 3481726 which I think is what you are looking for but if it is not please just let me know. We also have pre-made shelves that fit into the e-track, the Brophy Utility Shelf for E-Track part # ETLSB and part # ETSSB or the CargoSmart Locking Cabinet for E-Track part # 3481725.

The CargoSmart Motorcycle Wheel Chock for E-Track or X-Track Systems #3481731 that you referenced was designed to fit tires up to 7 inches in width but it will work with a bike that has a 3 inch wide tire assuming it's tied down properly.

E-tracks are typically the stronger of the two, but X-track is more versatile since you can mount them horizontally or vertically. Choosing between the two really depends upon how you plan to use them. If you are installing something in a truck bed,…

Sorry Jim but your wife already got to us and I'm afraid you'll have to go on the all-beet diet! I kid, I kid. The Rack'em shelf kit #RA-13 is great for shelves but to make some bunk beds I recommend going with E-Track #E19146. This…
