Can E-Track Attach to Two Trailer Floor Boards Running Parallel with Track

Updated 08/31/2020 | Published 08/28/2020

Question:

I have a trailer that has treated floor that use individual planks attached to the frame’s cross members. I need to attach the E Track rails parallel to the wood planks. The E Track rails are only slightly narrower than the planks. Can I and should I center/straddle the E track rail over 2 separate planks? Or do they have to be attached to just one individual plank due to different flex in the two parallel running different planks?

Your plan of having an e-track like the part # E19148 attached to two different floor boards in your trailer would be perfect. This will distribute any weight on the e-track to two boards which is a sturdier way to go about it.
