Question:

I have an enclosed trailer with 3/4-inch plywood flooring fastened into the frame and cross member. As such it is more challenging to use regular bolts with lock nuts. Can I use 1/4-inch by 3-inch lag bolts instead? I am hauling a Tracker 700 EPS that is about 725lbs. Thanks for your help.

One nice thing about the # EM98CV is you can use a variety of mounting hardware to suit your needs depending on where and what you're mounting them to. You can certainly use lag bolts to mount the wheel chocks to your plywood floor, this won't cause a problem. However, if you decide you want to get under your trailer to mount them, the best way to mount these is with the etrailer E-Track Backing Plates # e66RR.
