• Installing E-Trac To Build Shelves In Fiber Glass Box Truck
  There will still be metal studs behind the fiber glass wall in the box truck, so you want to purchase a stud finder that is capable of detecting metal studs to attach your track to. I am not entirely sure what you are trying to build when you mention rafters but it sounds like you may be trying to build a shelf like in the pictures I have attached. You can use the E-Track Wood Beam Socket part # 59149 and horizontal or vertical e-track (depending on what you are trying to accomplish) like...

• Recommended Crossbars for Open Wood Framed Trailer to Carry Kayaks
  The E-Track Wood Beam Socket for Standard 2" Lumber # 59149 will most likely work with metal tubes as crossbars as long as they are screwed into place in the same way as the wood is intended to be attached. You will need to determine the correct weight capacity for your custom application. Since you are looking to add kayaks to an open wood framed trailer, I recommend the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit for Utility Trailers - 250 lbs # MPG493. This will give you the uprights and crossbars...

• More Pictures Angles and Dimensions of the E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149
  I went out to the warehouse and pulled the E-Track Wood Beam Socket, # 59149, and I produced a short video showing the dimensions of the E-Track Wood Beam Socket and took some close up video so you can see how the wood beam socket works. There are 4 holes in the socket for attachment to 2X lumber. The two holes on the bottom are centered and positioned at 1/2 inch and 1-3/4 inches in from the inside of the bracket. The two holes in each side of the bracket are positioned at 1-1/8 inch...

• E-Track Recommendations for Making a Queen Size Bed on Inside of Enclosed Trailer
  The correct product to use to support the boards you plan on using to support the bed would be the E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149. Since you will want to have the 2 by 4s on edge to support the plywood, and the only way the # 59149 could be installed in this fashion is if the e-tracks are installed horizontally on your trailer walls. I would recommend using two etracks that will be on either side of the trailer interior walls running horizontally at the height that you want the bed...

• Using E-Track and # 59149 Wood Beam Sockets to Construct Shelves in Enclosed Trailer
  The Erickson # 59149 Wood Beam Socket you mentioned is the only product of its type that we offer. We do not offer a socket that would hold the beam in the way you describe. If you ran short lengths of e-track like # EM59150 on the trailer side walls near the front wall of the trailer, you could use the sockets holding the 2x4s on end going across the front wall of the trailer, but we have nothing that would allow you to run them along the side walls of the trailer. Vertical E-track...

• What is the Difference Between a Vertical and Horizontal E-Track Including the Dimensions
  The main difference between the horizontal and vertical E-tracks is which way the slots on the bar run. The horizontal E-track cargo control like part # E19148 can be mounted horizontally on the wall or floor in an enclosed cargo or open trailer. It also creates several tie down points to secure loads. It is 5 feet long and has a overall width of 5-inches. The slots each have a length of 2.45-inches and a width of .58 inches. See diagram to the right. Additional lengths we offer are...

• Installing the E-Track Wood Beam Socket For Standard Lumber
  Once the E-Track Wood Beam Socket for Standard 2" Lumber - Qty 1 # 59149 has a beam screwed in at both ends, it cannot be removed without unscrewing the wood beam. The beam would need to be lifted straight up and out of the hanger to allow movement and then be screwed back in place in its new location. You will be able to use the same piece of lumber cut to width over and over again, but it will need to be removed to change location of the hangers in the track.

• How to Mount E-Track To Inside of Box Truck
  The box should have metal studs on the interior, along with wood 'rub strips' that run horizontally a couple feet up above the floor. Those wooden cross members that are attached to the metal studs provide an ideal mounting point for the e-track. If there is no wooden strip, the e-track can attach directly to the metal studs.

• Does the E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 Have a Weight Capacity
  The E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 that you referenced doesn't have a capacity listed for it because the wood installed in it would break long before it would. To install the vertical E-track sections like the 4 foot section part # E19146 you could use self-tapping screws. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

• Can Beam Bracket 59149 Be Used to Make a Tailgate on a Trailer
  In order to accomplish what you want to do there isn't a better product than the E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149. Of course you would need two of them. You wouldn't want to make the tailgate too tall either since it would only be supported at the floor of the trailer.

• Using E-Tracks and Beam Sockets to Create Second Level for Cargo in 5th Wheel Trailer
  The Erickson E-Track Wood Beam Socket you referenced, part # 59149, will work with 2 x 4 lumber or the 2 x 6 material you intend to use. These are usable with either vertical, horizontal or single-slot E-Tracks. In your application you can use either one of the horizontal track lengths, such as 2-foot # EM59150 or 5-foot # E19148, or one of the other lengths offered, or you can use the single-slot # SLSU or 2-slot # EM19145. The advantages of using the smaller sections are reduced...

• 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.

• Recommended Custom Length Load Beam for E-Track Systems
  The E-Track Aluminum Load Support Decking Beam EM08905 is only adjustable from 92-103 inches. For a custom size beam, I recommend the E-Track Wood Beam Socket for Standard 2" Lumber # 59149. This allows you to lock your brackets into your track and then add a wood support of custom length.

• Installing a Load Stop at Rear of 4 x 8 Foot Trailer
  I have a solution that should work pretty well for you. I'd run a strip of E-track like # E19148 along the edges of the trailer, at least at the front and rear of the trailer. The E-track could be used to secure the lumber using a ratchet strap like # SLLS28RER. The straps are sold individually, so you'd want at least two. At the end of the E-Track, you could use a wood beam socket like # 59149 to secure a board like you have shown in the photo. The sockets are sold individually.

• How to Size 2 x 4s for Use with Erickson E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149
  You ask a good question. The Erickson E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 fits in their E-Track (and in other similar cargo control tracks) such that about 1/4- to 1/2-inch of the space between the tracks themselves will be taken up by the socket connection point on each end. This can vary slightly depending on the age, degree of use and brand of the track and socket. So, in other words size your 2 x 4s to allow for about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch less total length than there is between the...

• E Track Trailer Cargo Control # E19148 Mounting Location for Securing a Harley In Enclosed Trailer
  I would recommend that you run the tracks horizontally, that way you could secure your Harley from multiple points around the bike to the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control - Horizontal - 5 Foot Long, part # E19148. I included a link to a video review of this product below for you to check out. I would also recommend using a E-Track 2 inch D-Ring, 3.5K, part # E59143, to make securing your bike with straps easier. I have included a link below to a video of the # E59143 on a horizontal # E19148. The...

• If Wood is Secured to E-Track Bracket # 59149 Can Board be Removed as One Piece
  Since the bracket part # 59149 has to be angled into the E-track to install there wouldn't be a way to pull the board and bracket out of a track as one piece since the board would prevent you from getting the right angle.

• E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 Recommendation and Compatibility
  You could use a E-Track Wood Beam Socket with the E-track setup that you have. 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. I attached a review video for the E-Track system for you to check out also.

• Can Horizontal E-Tracks be Used with Erickson Wood Beam Sockets # 59149
  You can absolutely use the Horizontal E-Tracks # EM59150 that you referenced in your enclosed trailer with 4 of the Wood Beam Sockets # 59149 to create a shelf. There isn't any structural benefit to using vertical E-tracks for this application over the horizontal tracks you are wanting to use. Vertical mount tracks would just allow for a bit more versatility as you could lower or raise the shelf if desired (but in your setup you could move it forward or back). The holes on the brackets...

• How Much Weight Can the E-Tracks Hold Attached To Plywood
  Yes, you can use wood screws to secure the e-tracks to the plywood walls in your trailer. However, as you mentioned the weight capacity would be less than if you were to attach them to metal beams. The tracks themselves can handle up to 2,000 lbs but the weight capacity of the system is always going to be limited to how they are attached. Unfortunately, there would be no way to give you specific figures or ratings when attached to plywood as there are just too many factors involved...

• Cargo Tie Down Recommendations for 5x8 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  Between the three cargo tie-down anchors you referenced, parts # RR2K, # RR8K and # RR09, I would go with the # RR2K because it includes the reinforcing backing plate and because it offers you the choice of recessed or surface mounting. Since your cargo items just need to be secured inside the trailer, but not have their full weight held, these items should be fine. I can offer you another option to consider, one that might better suit the trailer and cargo items, but that will be up...

• Parts Needed To Build Fold Down Single Bed On Horse trailer
  To make a bed inside your aluminum 2 horse trailer I recommend going with E-Track # E19146. This single 4 foot long section is rated for 6,000 pounds of course this is the mounted weight, we just want to ensure that the trailer is rated above 2,000 pounds if in future use that capacity for other purposes. But if you used 2 extra for added support then you and your hunting buddy or grand kid, you would be good to go. You could then use 6 or 8 of bracket # 59149 to start creating the bunk...

• Extra Sockets for the Rackem Shelf Kit Part # RA-13
  I assume you are referring to the sockets that hold the boards? If that is the case then we do not sell them separately for the Shelf Kit part # RA-13. However, a more cost effective solution would be to use the E-Track part # E19146 with the E-Track Wood Beam Socket part # 59149 as you would be able to choose the amount of shelves. The E-Track part # E19146 might also work with the Shelf Kit part # RA-13 but I can't confirm this.

• How to Mount E-Track Cargo Control System E19148 To Inside Wall 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...

  The E-track brackets like what is attached to the CargoSmart Accessory Bar # 3481750 you referenced are not available as a separate component, but we do have many other accessories that use the same type of mount.
