• 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 # E19135. 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 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...

• 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 the 8' part # E19135, 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...

• 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 # E19135 8-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. If you need end caps to cover the edge of the E-track on the floor of...

• 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, and a 8-foot length, part # E19135. 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• 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...

• Installing E-Track on an Enclosed Trailer For Securing a Grizzly 660
  
• You would want the E-tracks like part # E19135 to be on the outside of the wheels of your ATV so that it would be easier to secure it. 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 # EM31352 would work great.

• 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.

• 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...

• Recommended Erickson E-Track System for Transporting Motorcycle in Enclosed Trailer
  
• Installing the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # E19135 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. Then you can use the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Rings # 59131 along with D-Ring Straps # E59143...

• 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...

• 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 Much E-Track Should be Used to Secure a Harley Davidson Motorcycle in 16 Foot Enclosed Trailer
  
• If you need the track the entire length of the trailer then going with 4 of the 8 foot sections, # E19135, would be the way to go. But if you only need part of the trailer equipped then I would put one track on each side of the bike. When installing the E-track to the trailer floors or walls you will want to use the appropriate hardware for the material you are attaching to. Also it may be necessary to put a backing plate # BPEZ on the other side of the floor or wall for extra support....

• 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...

• What is the Working Load Limit for the E-Track System
  
• The working load limit for the E-Track system like the part # E19135 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...

• 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.
