Can Horizontal E-Tracks Be Secured to Vertical E-Tracks

Published 07/26/2023

Question:

We bought a enclosed trailer that has Vertical E track already installed in it. I was wondering if there was a good way to attach Horizontal E track over it. Horizontal makes more sense to secure a load in our world. this is a brand new trailer and we do not want to drill into the wall. It is a Celltech trailer and they advertise horizontal on top of vertical but i was hoping someone would know the best to attach them and still have the correct load capacity. Thank you

In order to install horizontal E-Tracks, like the etrailer # e42VR, you're going to have to install supports inside your trailer to fix them to. According to my research that CellTech wall isn't solid enough to drill into which is why supports are needed.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to properly secure horizontal E-Tracks to the vertical E-Tracks already in your trailer.
