Question:
I just bought a used 6x12 covered Cargo trailer and I would like to install E-Track on two sides. By design they have built in a 3/4 piece of plywood 4 wide at the right level, but horizontal E-Track is 5 wide. Can I use the vertal E-Track on the horizontal as it would fit? Pros and cons and any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you,

Expert Reply:
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 the D-ring for you to review.
