Question:

Hello good morning.. I have a 5 ton Isuzu refrigerated truck... Im wondering what is the best way to install 18 ft long e track/channels on each side of the truck.. I want to make sure its sturdy and safe so when I strap pretty big loads to the side of the walls. Nothing ruins the walls of the truck or makes any holes and its sturdy.. PLEASE let me know ASAP.. thanks again much appreciated...

Hey Shawn,

The E-track you're wanting to install in the back of your truck is just going to need to be screwed into the studs of the walls or into the floor. You'll want some self tapping screws ( # SL99FR) or wood screws ( # SL49FR) that are just thin enough to pass through the mounting holes of the E-track # e62VR and just long enough to bite into the studs without passing completely through them. The more screws the better the hold so you can load up each hole, even if some holes are just passing through thin sheet metal walls and not hitting a stud. If passing through only thin walls with no studs then you can use backing plates like part # e76YR to help secure the tracks.

Once installed you can use anchor points like the # e87HR to secure your loads.

The legs for the CargoSmart Folding Workbench Brackets #3481744 will sit 22-21/2" away from the wall when in the deployed position, and then the brackets are 2-1/2" tall so they will stick out that far from the wall. My contact at…

Answer 5

There isn't a specific height from the trailer floor recommended to mount the E-Track. My gut feeling is that if 3 feet is too low and 4 feet is too high then 3-1/2 feet might be perfect. Another option is to mount E-track pieces vertically along…

We likely have some parts that can help you in regard to custom brackets, but the brackets from the CargoSmart Locking Cabinet for E-Track or X-Track Systems #3481725 are not something that can be purchased separately. I recommend taking a look at a…

Since the slot dimensions and capacity of different brands of E-Track are identical, really the only differences are the finish and the lengths the tracks are sold in. If you're using the E-Track in an area where aesthetics are important, you can…

Hey Ozzie, since the Weigh Safe Hitch W/ Built-In Scale #WS56KR has a 1" ball shank hole you can use any hitch ball with that diameter like the 2" Hitch Ball #63845 which has a 2" diameter and a 7,500 lb capacity. If you have any other…
