Question:
Hello, I would like a second opinion on this toppic. I recently installed an etrack system on my trailer. Is it safe for the o rings to have a side load? Please see the pictures.

Expert Reply:
According to the folks at Erickson Manufacturing, the side pull capacity of their # 59131 E-Track Tie Down Rings are 1750 lbs apiece. The safe Working Load Limit for each would be 1/3 of that which is about 580 lbs apiece. It looks like you're using 4 of the tie down rings which would have a combined capacity of 2320 lbs which is plenty for the quad you have tied down, assuming that the straps you're using have sufficient capacity.
