Yes, you can use the Erickson Mini E-Track Plate # EM09134 with E-Track ratchet straps such as the CargoSmart Ratchet Straps for E-Track - 1" x 6' - 500 lbs # 3481717 or Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap with Roller Idler and Ratchet - 2" x 12' - 1,100 lbs # EM58523, though you would not be able to use wheel chocks.

I went out and test fit the plate with the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks # EM09162-2 and found they would not fit. So if you were okay with not using wheel chocks - for example if you had an enclosed trailer and had horizontal e-track for multiple tie-downs - then you would be able to use the plates and straps.

Otherwise, the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks - 1,500 lbs # EM09160 is your best option, despite it permanently mounting the tracks. Or you could use the aforementioned Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks # EM09162-2 with standard E-Track # EM59150 (2') # EM19147 (4') or a combination of these to get the length you need. You would also need E-Track Backing Plate # BPEZ for the installation.

I have added links to a number of video reviews for you to check out as well.
