I have an E Track system in my enclosed trailer and I am looking for a way to carry and store my Kayaks. Is there anything out there that will work?

Expert Reply:

I am not aware of an e or x-track accessory that is designed specifically for carrying kayaks but we do have options for this assuming the tracks are on the walls. I recommend using a few CargoSmart Large Rotating Flat Hooks part # 3481701 to suspend the kayaks and then a few Erickson E-Track Straps with Ratchet part # EM59136 to hold them in place. The Erickson E-Track Tie Down Ring part # 59131 along with some standard ratchet straps can be used as well.

That recommendation wouldn’t be good for a kayak. I’m looking for something too for kayaks and SUP but maybe it’s not available. Those flat hooks don’t have enough surface area to distribute weight and offer no protection.

@Kayak There unfortunately isn't an e-track kayak carrier so an option like what Conner recommended above or the CargoSmart Adjustable Dual Brackets w/ Strap # 3481728 is really all that's available. With the # 3481728 I would cut down a pool noodle to cover the brackets and prevent scratching and the straps can be used to secure the kayak.
