Question:
I have a new UTV trailer that is aluminum. Are there any issues with installing steel e-track on an aluminum bed? Thanks

The E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # E19148, can be secured to a surface using screws, rivets, or welding. Since your surface is aluminum you would not weld it. Something like machine screws would work better.
The E-Track does not come with hardware so you can use what will work best for your trailer by picking up some hardware at a local hardware store. I have included a link to a video review of the E-Track for you.
