• Recommended E-Track Rings and Tie-Down Straps for Harley-Davidson in Toy Hauler
  For your Harley-Davidson, I understand the desire to properly secure it as I would want peace of mind when transporting mine as well. Either the Erickson E-Track Tie-Off w/ D-Ring - 2" Wide x 8-1/4" Long - 1,200 lbs # E59143 or the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Ring - 2,000 lbs # 59147 will work fine. You will not have anywhere near the weight capacity on the rings so it really can depend on your personal preference. I'd go with the # 59147 so there is no twist at the connection. For...

• Tire Tie Downs for E-Track in an Enclosed Trailer for a Sports Car
  For your trailer the tracks have openings that go front to back. To secure vehicle tires you would need the openings to run left to right like # E19148. Then you could use # 77314 which has e-track fittings. But we can make it work by using a couple of tie downs, # E59143, and ratchet straps such as # EM34416. If a vehicle has smaller or larger tires you would just place the tie downs in the appropriate spots on the tracks. Vehicles that are wider or narrower may still work on the same...

• Recommended Tie-Downs to Secure Newer Mustangs with Limited Wheel Well Clearance to Trailer
  To safely secure your 2018 Mustang Saleen and GT500 I recommend using the Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap # EM58523. This ratcheting tire strap is a perfect solution for your application since it will only touch the tread on the tire and the ratchet can be positioned out of the way from the vehicle on the E-track. To use the ratchet straps you will just need to install some E-tracks like the 5 Foot Long # E19148. These are available in shorter and longer lengths as well so I have...

• D-Ring Recommendation for E-Track for Securing Harleys to Trailer
  That will depend on the weight of your Harley's and how many D-rings you plan to use to secure each bike. Basically you would need to take the weight of each bike and divide that by how many straps you plan to use. That would be the total amount of capacity you would need for each D-ring. The E-Track D-Ring part # E59143 has a 3.5k capacity which would be way more than you would need. I attached a demo video for this product for you to check out as well.

• Best Versatile Tie-Down Options for a Cargo Trailer
  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...

• Mounting E-Track for Hauling Motorcycle on 8 x 5 Trailer
  That's a great question. I believe your installation method for the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # EM59150 sounds like a great plan as long as you have the tracks facing the direction of travel. Basically the E-Track was designed around this and that is the most safe way to secure cargo. To secure your 900 lb bike you can either use the Erickson E-Track Tie-Off w/ D-Ring # E59143 with your current ratchet straps or you can update to the Erickson E-Track Strap with Ratchet # EM59136 which...

• Can self-Tapping Screws Be Used To Install E-Track In Toy Hauler With No Under Bed Access
  If you are using self-tapping screws and attaching the part # E19148 5-foot rails to metal, you would be okay. If you are installing this into wood I would recommend making sure you have the right size fasteners for the 1/4 inch mounting holes, and that you have at least 3/4 inch depth for the screws to be fastened to. You should also use as many mounting holes as possible to attain the maximum strength needed. Wood screws will work better than self-tapping metal screws unless your...

• Recommended Attachment Method for E-Track in a Trailer with 1/8 inch Thick Steel Floor
  For installing the E-track like part # EM59150 that you referenced I would use self tapping screws in every other hole of the track. This is a 2 foot section of the E-track. If you needed a 5 foot section you would also want the part # E19148. For a D-ring that is designed to fit the E-track you would want the part # E59143.

• 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 access to 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...

• How Far Apart Should E Tracks Be Installed On a Motorcycle Trailer
  There's not a set distance that the E-Tracks like part # E19148 should be apart when installing in a one bike trailer. That will depend on the trailer dimensions, the weight of the trailer and where the best mounting locations are in your trailer. Are you planning on installing them on the floor or the walls? I am assuming it's a motorcycle trailer. If you have a wheel chock like the # MT70075 I would recommend putting the E-Tracks a couple feet on either side if possible. You don't need...

• Anchor Recommendation for E-Track for Securing ATV
  For an anchor for an E-Track setup you would want the part # 59147 as it has a high capacity. Using a strap mounted setup like the part # E59143 is an additional option but they have lower capacities and since you want to pull at an angle the O anchor would be a better option.

• Recommendations for Securing a 900 Pound Harley-Davidson Motorcycle to a Trailer
  There are probably some sort of fancy anchors that you could get from a hardware store but I have a better, more secure and safe option for you. You can install some E-track such as # E19148 using numerous fasteners which will better distribute the weight. Then you would just need some D-rings for the tie downs, # E59143, and straps to secure to the handle bars # 06303 (to avoid any scuffs to the chrome). Then it is just a matter of using ratchet straps such as # EM05710 is you need some.

• E-Track Recommendations For 7 By 14 Enclosed Trailer To Carry Classic Motorcycles
  With cargo like your two classic Harleys you will want to make sure they are really well secured to prevent any damage. I recommend securing the E-Tracks to something more stable than just wood. If you are attaching the tracks to the floor I recommend you make sure they are secured either to the metal structure of the trailer or use metal plates like the E-Track Backing Plate, part # BPEZ, to make it as secure as possible. If the interior floor and walls are 7 ft long I recommend 5...

  Installing the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # E19148 in your enclosed trailer is an excellent idea. Along with securing your motorcycle into place, the E-Tracks will provide great versatility to tie down various other cargo items in your trailer. For your motorcycle, I recommend installing the tracks on either side of the motorcycle to provide multiple tie-down points in order to keep it secure.

• How to Install E-Track Cargo Control on Plywood Floor in Cargo Van
  Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control tracks come in various lengths, such as the 5-foot horizontal track, part # E19148. We also offer a 2-foot length, part # EM59150. To install them in your cargo van on its plywood floor you can use either galvanized or stainless steel nuts and bolts to avoid issues with rust. The plywood layer on the floor of your van by itself may not be strong enough to hold the E-Tracks. To be safe you need to find points in the van floor where you can safely...

• Can the Erikson E-Track System Be Used In An Aluminum Utility Trailer
  The Erickson E-Track system will work great in your aluminum utility trailer, but you will want to put a layer between the E-Track and the aluminum of your trailer. This layer will help prevent corrosion cause by contact of dissimilar metals. This layer can consist of almost any material, such as wood, rubber, or plastic. When installing the E-Track system in a trailer, one thing to keep in mind is to select locations that provide structural components, such as wall studs and floor...

• How to Secure a Vespa Scooter with 12 Inch Wheels and Tires in an Enclosed Cargo Carrier
  The MaxxTow wheel chock # MT70271 should only be used with 15 to 22 inch wheels. A 12 inch wheel on a scooter could be a problem because the brakes and other suspension components will also be lower compared to a 15 inch or larger wheel and that interference would cause the scooter to not fit. I checked our similar wheel chocks and I am not confident that any of them would be suitable for a 12 inch wheel but I do have a possible solution for you. To secure the scooter I recommend...

• 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 # EM58523, 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...

• What is the Working Load Limit for the E-Track System
  The working load limit for the E-Track system like the part # E19148 that you referenced is 2,000 lbs. There isn't a set method required for tightening a load to the E-Track. Basically you would want to use a properly rated strap for the weight of the item and use your discretion to secure it in whatever manner works best. For a way to secure a strap to the E-Track you would want the E-Track D-Ring part # E59143. Depending on how the E-Tracks were attached to the wall and the material...

The D-Ring will attach to the E-track. The axle strap will loop around the Jeep axle, and the ratchet strap will hook to the D-Ring and the loops on the axle strap.

• Installing E-Track on an Enclosed Trailer For Securing a Grizzly 660
  You would want the E-tracks like part # E19148 to be directly underneath the wheels of your ATV so that it would be easier to secure it with straps directly over the center of the tire. To secure the track I would recommend using the backing plate part # BPEZ. I attached an install video that details how to use the backing plates to install E-tracks on the floor of a trailer. For D-rings to use for tie-downs you would want the part # E59143. Then for tie-downs the ratchet straps part...

• Recommended Motorcycle Chock and Tie Downs For Trailer
  For your motorcycle, I recommend the MaxxTow Adjustable, Self-Locking Wheel Chock - 15" to 22" Wheels - 1,800 lbs # MT70271 to keep your bike in place...it is what I use. It gives you eyelets to attach straps to your bars if you want to secure your bike to the chock itself. For tie downs, you can use the Erickson Motorcycle and ATV Tie-Downs w Soft Ties and TCS Buckles - 1"x6' - 400 lbs - Qty 2 # EM05729 and # 06303. If you use the e-tracks, you may want the # E59143 or retractible...

• How Far Apart Should E-Track be Mounted to Secure a Harley Ultra
  There is no set distance apart that the E-Track, such as # E19148, has to be mounted. If it were me I would place them so that they are about an E-track's width apart wider than the widest part of the bike on each side. So for example if the bike 36 inches wide and the E-Track is 5-1/8 inches wide I would place the E-Track so there is 46-1/4 inches between them. I also recommend picking up several tie-downs, # E59143, to secure straps such as # EM34416 to the E-Track.

• Optimal Direction of Pull When Using E Track
  In order to achieve the full capacity of the ratchet straps and the track, the direction of the pull should be parallel to the direction that the e track is running. How much the capacity would be diminished by pulling 90 degrees to the side will depend on the weight of the load. If the load is close to the capacity of the straps, pulling out 90 degrees could damage the clip that locks the strap into the track or possibly damage the track itself.

• Keeping Cargo from Moving and Shifting in Enclosed Trailer
  Adding trailer suspension enhancement such as # TTRA1702 can definitely help with ride quality but I think the best solution to keep loads on the pallet is some cargo control devices. You could start with a cargo net, I have included a link to the various sizes we carry. A cargo net is a simple solution to secure a large group of items with one device. You can also get some E-Track, # E19148, and attach them to the sides of the trailer. Then use some D-Ring tie downs, # E59143, and...

• Hardware Recommendation for Securing E Tracks to Plywood Trailer Floor
  Securing the Erickson E-Track # E19148 to 3/4 inch plywood should be sufficient. To secure the track to the plywood, you can use screws, or rivets. Using 1/2 inch screws would be a good length with 3/4 inch plywood. You will want to attach screws at least every other mounting hole. For tie downs and straps I would recommend either the E-Track Tie-Off Ring # 59131, or E-Track 2 inch D-Ring, part # E59143. Also available is the Erickson E-Track Strap with Ratchet, part # EM59136.

• Spare Tire Mount Recommendation for Trailers with Limited Frame Space
  We do have a couple different spare tire mount options for you to check out. You could go with the Spare Tire Carrier for E-Track Systems, # RA-16HST, that you referenced, but you will also need an E-Track rail. For this I recommend the 4 ft Vertical E-Track, # E19146. The E-track system was primarily designed to be installed inside of an enclosed trailer, but you could install it on the outside of the trailer if you would like. I do not recommend installing it on the side of the trailer...

• Can I Use The Vertical E-Track E19146 In The Horizontal Position For My Covered Cargo Trailer
  My contact at Erickson confirmed that you are definitely able to use the Vertical E-Track # E19146 in the horizontal position. The advantage for you is that it will mount to the space you need it to fit. The only disadvantage of using the Vertical Track # E19146 is that there are less anchor points to hook into than the Horizontal E-Track, part # EM59150. To connect straps to the E-Track, you will need to use E-Track 2 Inch D-Ring, part # E59143. I have linked a video review of...
