Question:

I have recently purchased from you an E Track system to install on the floor of my trailer. What fasteners do you recommend to use to screw the track to the floor?which is 3/4inch plywood. And do you stock these fasteners?and what is the part number? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Expert Reply:

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.
