Question:
I want to mount E-track to the walls of my trailer. 24 inch tall one on each side. I need this to hold a 2x4 tube steel across to provide a stop for the front tire of 3 dirt bikes. I do not see studs where I would like to mount these tracks. Any recommendations how I can ensure the E-track will be strong enough to hold the bikes from moving forward under tied down load?

Expert Reply:
There needs to be some type of strong structural component on your trailer where you want to mount the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # EM59150. There is nothing that I can recommend which will ensure they will be strong enough unless your trailer has the proper place to mount the tracks.
You may want to consider putting the E-track on the floor and then using Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chock for E-Track # EM09162 and ratcheting straps such as # EM59136.
