• How Should the Erickson ATV E Track Tie-Down Kit Be Installed?
  Hey Richard! I can't speak for our install video but I reached out to Erickson this morning for clarification. This is the information I received: Rear mount is the recommended way to install the Erickson ATV E Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks item # EM09160 because of the potential for the rear end to jump up in a sudden stop situation. The force placed on the ATV from your tow vehicle pulling forward being significantly less than a sudden stop is the reasoning. As...

• Do All 4 UTV Wheels Need to be Strapped Down with Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160
  I checked with Erickson and even their pictures show just two of the wheels being secured using the ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160. Basically you want to use all 4 of the chocks meaning you would secure 2 wheels. The rear wheels are recommended. If 1 set does not have the capacity for your UTV then you would need to use an additional set or additional tie downs (see link) to cover the whole weight of the UTV. A set has a safe working load limit of 1,500 pounds and a break strength...

• How To Mount The Erickson ATV E Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160
  Hey Jim, There isn't directions on how to mount the Erickson ATV E Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160 because there's a variety of ways these can be mounted. I mounted these on my buddy's trailer about 2 years ago and we just measured the thickness of the boards and got bolts from a local hardware store to fit that length with a bit extra to use a washer and locknut. I personally feel it's a bit more secure to use bolts with a washer or plate to anchor them to the boards over just using some screws.

• Erickson ATV E Track Tie-Down Kit EM98CV - Can I By An Extra Set Of Chocks?
  Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out. So we do offer the # EM98CV kit as a half set, part # EM09160 which comes with 4 chocks and two straps. The chock pieces are not available by themselves, so getting an additional half kit will be your best bet here. You would have a few extra straps, but it doesn't hurt to have a spare I guess.

• Backing Plates For The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit
  Erickson has the spacing for the mounting holes of the # EM09160 before and after the chock at approximately 4-3/8" center to center. Since they unfortunately do not offer a custom backing plate the # e96RR you purchased is going to be the closest option. The elongated front and rear holes are 4-1/2" apart center to center so you could possibly get it to line up straight and fit but you'll likely need to notch either the front or back hole about 1/8" to get the bolts to drop through.

• Backing Plate for Use with Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit EM09160
  Erickson does offer a zinc-plated steel backing plate for use with their E-Track products like their ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160. Use part # e96RR. You can see this item's hole dimensions and spacing in the linked photo. Since your trailer deck is aluminum and this plate is steel you will want to isolate them to prevent galvanic corrosion between the two different metals. A coating of paint or other insulating material will do it.

• Fasteners for Install of Erickson E-Track Wheel Chock
  The 2-1/2" Long Torx Trailer Floor and Wall Liner Screw # TFX250ACQ could be used to secure e track wheel chock like the part # EM09160 but it would not be your most ideal solution since this is designed to secure wood to metal. You are wanting to secure metal to wood so using carriage bolts, nuts, and washers will give you the most ideal and secure way to attach the # EM09160.

  Yes it will; a golf cart is absolutely compatible for use with the Erickson tie-down kit you asked about, which is the following part number: - Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks # EM09160 You just need to ensure your tires are between 10" and 30" in diameter, which the vast majority of golf cart tires are going to be, but I do recommend double-checking just to be on the safe side.

• Are Backing Plates Necessary for Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160
  It looks like each chock and strap from 2 of # EM09160 will need to be able to hold around 375 pounds to handle the weight of the 2014 Arctic Cat Wildcat X Limited and that is just static load and does not include the forces applied to the chocks and straps when traveling. The more support you have underneath the trailer for the chocks the stronger and safer it will be. If you use just washers they would need to be large diameter washers and 1/8 inch thick if not more to provide the same...

• Which Two Wheels to Use for Securing UTV with Erickson UTV Strap and Chocks EM09160
  It would take an incredibly hard braking situation to lift the rear wheels of a UTV if only the front wheels of it were secured with the Tie Down Kit part # EM09160. Essentially it would only happen if you were in an accident. That being said it is still better to secure the rear wheels. If the UTV was installed facing perpendicular to traffic the two wheels that would be closest to the rear of the trailer would be the ones to use with the straps.

• How To Attach the Erickson Horizontal E-Tracks To Wood Deck Boards
  In order to attach the deck boards to your open trailer, I recommend using 1/2" carriage bolts. These carriage bolts can be either zinc plated or made of stainless steel. They will need to run though both the deck board and trailer frame.

• Recommended Tie-Down Kit for Golf Cart Transported in Pickup
  The safest way to secure a 4-wheeled vehicle like a golf cart in a truck bed is to use wheel nets that secure to the truck bed in some manner. The Erickson E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160 is one option that is similar to the Pack 'Em kit you referenced, part # PK-WTD, although I prefer the Erickson since it includes 4 wheel chocks not 2. The Erickson also wins in terms of ease of disconnecting everything, thanks to the spring-loaded E-Track clips which detach easily. You only need to detach...

• How Can I Secure A Rolling Tool Chest In My Enclosed Trailer
  We do have a nice selection of bungee cords and tie-down straps, if you already have a spot where you can anchor them. Personally, I prefer tie-down straps with ratchets.

  The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks - 1,500 lbs # EM09160 does not have a specified rating by the manufacturer.
