What's the best way to secure cargo in a trailer?
The right setup depends on what you're hauling. Ratchet straps work well for many general loads, while chains and binders are designed for heavier equipment. Cargo nets can contain loose or irregularly shaped items, and E-track gives you adjustable tie-down points throughout your trailer. Always check the working load limit of your tie-down equipment before securing a load.
What is an E-track tie down system?
E-track is a track-based cargo control system that lets you position compatible straps, anchors, fittings, and other accessories where you need them. Track can be installed on the floor or walls of many trailers, making it especially useful when you regularly haul different types or sizes of cargo.
What's the best tie down system for an enclosed trailer?
E-track is a flexible option for enclosed trailers because compatible straps, anchors, and fittings can be moved to different positions along the track. Individual tie-down anchors can also work well when you only need securement points in specific locations. Choose based on what you're hauling, where you need attachment points, and the capacity required for your load. or wedges are a must to stop them from rolling. If you’re hauling over long distances, check your tie-downs periodically to make sure nothing has loosened up.
Can E-track be installed on a trailer floor?
E-track can be installed on trailer floors in appropriate applications, giving you attachment points for compatible straps and fittings. Installation requirements depend on the trailer and track, so make sure the track is properly supported and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How should I load a cargo trailer?
Distribute the load so the trailer remains properly balanced, keep heavier cargo low, and secure everything so it can't shift during travel. Stay within your trailer and tow vehicle weight limits and follow the trailer manufacturer's loading guidance.
How do I choose the right tie downs for my cargo?
Start with what you're hauling and how heavy it is. Ratchet straps work well for many general loads, while chains and binders are better suited to heavier equipment. Check the working load limit of every strap, chain, anchor, and fitting in your setup and make sure each component is appropriate for the load you're securing.
