• Can Self-Tapping Screws be Used to Secure E-Track on a Trailer with an Aluminum Frame
  Self-tapping screws should not pull out of an aluminum frame unless you go beyond the capacity of the screw or what the aluminum is capable of. The aluminum capacity can be difficult to determine so the best thing to do to ensure that does not happen is to use fasteners that require nuts to secure them. You have to be careful using nuts and bolts though because you can end up deforming the aluminum frame if you torque the nuts down too hard.

• Recommendations for Anchoring E-Track to a Ply-Wood Trailer Floor
  It depends on how much load you will be applying to the track, what you are holding with it, and how the trailer frame is made. If you can get to the trailer frame, use nuts and bolts to attach through the floor and the metal trailer frame. If you are using it to secure an ATV or 4-wheeler, mount the track where the ATV tires will rest on it and the weight of the ATV will hold the track down. This way you would only need a handful of attachment points just to keep the track from sliding. If...

• Anchoring E-Track to 3/8 Inch Plywood Side Walls of an Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  Anchoring the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, item # EM59150, is situational so there are no manufacturer recommendations. For your situation I would recommend securing the plywood to the trailer frame in as many points as possible. Before adding extra fasteners to secure the plywood I would remove the plywood from the areas that I plan on installing the E-Track and reinforce the back of the plywood with a mounting plate designed to work with the E-Track. If you take the time to make reinforcement...

• How Should I Mount My E-Track Trailer Cargo Control for Securing Generators and Air Compressors
  You can mount the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # EM59150, using either wood screws or by using bolts with washers and nuts if you like. There is no recommended way to mount the E-Track, installation can be done a variety of ways and is at the discretion of the installer. I personally would use nuts and bolts with washers, as long as getting to the back of the plywood would be possible. If it would be too much of a chore to use nuts, bolts, and washers I think that if you put a wood screw...

• Attaching Galvanized E Track to Flooring In Trailer
  I would recommend using the galvanized lag bolts you refer to. Due to the thickness of the floor, I do not think it would be necessary for all the lag bolts to go through the flooring and bolt to the frame, but having the 4 at each end and two in the center would be a good idea. The remaining bolts, spaced an one foot intervals could be driven into the 2x8 planks. The galvanized e track would hold up well to the weather.

• Can E-Track Attach Directly to Wood Floor with Wood Screws
  If you wanted to install E-track like the # EM59150 directly to a wood floor using wood screws you could but you'd want to put a screw in each mounting hole like you mentioned. This attachment method would easily allow the track to have it's full capacity of 2,000 lbs.

• Would Wood Screws in Every Hole of E-Track # EM59150 Be Adequate for Securing Motorcycle
  If you used wood screws in every hole of the E-track part # EM59150 that you referenced you'd have enough capacity to secure your 900 lb motorcycle. There isn't a one-size-fits-all method for installing the E-tracks but for your situation and what you are wanting to do using every screw hole with wood screws would be adequate.

• Attaching E-Tracks to Interior Van Walls
  The method you'd use attaching the E-Track like # EM59150 to a vehicle will would depend on the structure of the vehicle wall and what exactly it's constructed of. We don't have any kits that were designed specifically for vehicle use like for your Transit. If the interior walls of your trailer have uprights of sufficient thickness to handle the length of self tapping screws this would be the best and easiest solution.

• Can Self Tapping Screws Be Used for the Erickson Horizontal E-Track
  The Erickson Horizontal E-Track part # EM59150 can indeed be installed with self tapping screws. In regards to the number, most don't do every hole but there isn't really a required number either. It just comes down to the installer and application. I think every other hole would be just fine.

• Can an E-Track like EM59150 Install Across More than One Board
  Yes you could install an e-track like the part # EM59150 between two boards. There's no requirement that an e-track has to install only on a single board. Having them across more than one board would probably spread the weight out better anyway.

• Installing Erickson E-Tracks for Use on Car Hauler Trailer
  If you are looking to use Erickson E-Track on a car hauler trailer you do not have to flush-mount the tracks. They can be secured to the trailer's decking with fasteners appropriate for the decking material (a minimum of 2 fasteners per linear foot on each side of the E-Track). It is perfectly okay to have the tires rest on the tracks since they are each rated for 6000-lbs. We offer the Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap # EM58523 that you can use with the tracks.

• Determining Spacing of E-Tracks for Vehicle Transport
  I really wish there was an easy answer as to a safe track spacing with the Erickson E-Tracks # EM59150 to accommodate most vehicles, but the truth is that there are just too many possible widths to comfortably answer this without actually figuring out the tire widths on the particular vehicle you plan on hauling. Your best option is really to figure out the tire width on your vehicle and install the tracks accordingly on the trailer. The Erickson Wheel- Tie-Down Strap # EM58523 that you...

• 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...

• Can E-Tracks Be Used to Secure Vehicles in Car Hauler
  Yes, E-tracks are used quite a bit for car hauler applications like what you have so as long as you secure them well like the Erickson E-Track part # EM59150 you'd be fine. We have wheel straps too for E-Track like the part # 77314 which would work well. Each of these has a 1,166 lb capacity.

• Mounting E-Tracks in Enclosed Trailer
  There needs to be some type of strong structural component on your trailer where you want to mount the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # EM59150. There is nothing that I can recommend which will ensure they will be strong enough unless your trailer has the proper place to mount the tracks. You may want to consider putting the E-track on the floor and then using Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chock for E-Track # EM09162 and ratcheting straps such as # EM59136.

• E-Track For a Small Mounting Area on a Tow Dolly
  There is actually a single E-Track anchor, # SLSB. Once installed you can then use tie-down # SLARI. Or you can use other E-Track accessories. You can cut down a regular piece of E-Track but it is an extra expense and work that isn't necessary since the single E-Track is available.

• Best Method of Attaching E-Track
  You can mount the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # EM59150, using wood screws if the mounting surface is wood. If it is sheet metal, I would use sheet metal screws. Basically, match the screw with the material you are mounting to. There is no recommended way of installing the E-Track as installation is the responsibility of each individual installer. The more points you can contact the trailer frame, the more secure the spare tire will be. You might also want to consider using a backing...

• Using E Track and Wheel Nets to Secure Vehicles During Transport
  I would recommend installing the 5 foot sections of E Track, part # E19148 directly to the cargo floor of the truck. You could then use a series of Wheel Nets, part # EM58523 to secure the vehicle wheels to the E Track (4 per vehicle, 4400 lb capacity per 4.) The method of securing the E Track to the truck floor will depend on the construction of the floor itself. The more fasteners used, the stronger the installation. You'll want to make sure some of the fasteners go into the trailer...

• Using Erickson E-Track on Floor of Snowmobile Trailer
  The Erickson E-Track is pretty rugged stuff, I doubt that the snowmobile track would crush it. Because of the studs, you might consider installing the etrack so that its let into the floor so that the face is flush with or slightly recessed from the floor. We do not offer the etrack in different colors, its available in raw steel like the # EM59150 or in zinc plated as part # E19148.

• Available E-Track Cargo Control Parts for Trailer Use
  If you are referring to E-Track parts like # E19148 and the related accessories shown on the linked page these tracks can be mounted to many different surfaces. The thickness and material of the surface determines the type of hardware to use. We recommend two fasteners per linear foot per side on the track. So for example, a 2-foot length of E-Track # EM59150 would need no less than six fasteners. If you have something else please respond to this email with photos of your load bars and...
