Question:

We have a 22 foot cargo trailer which we will be going cross country filled with plastic black and yellow bins about 4 or 5 high. I need to install etrack. Should I install on the walls or floor of the trailer?

Expert Reply:

For your 22' cargo trailer used to carry plastic totes I recommend installing a few E-track sections on the floor, and a few on the wall roughly the height of the top of the totes.

This will allow you the most attachment points to allow you to keep your cargo secure while driving cross country.

The # E19148 are a great choice, and to install them on the floor you will also want the E-Track Backing Plate # e89RR to give the track extra support in the areas that there is no frame rail.

To keep the cargo secure I recommend a few of the Erickson E-Track Strap # EM59139 which will connect directly to the E-Tracks to keep your cargo from moving.

I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
