Hey Peter,

You can absolutely use the E-Track backing plates # e66RR with your trailer and aluminum floor along with the wheel chock tire tie down kit. The backing plates are not going to increase any capacity on the aluminum floor but it is going to help distribute the pulling force over a greater area. This is to help keep the e-track from pulling away from where it is mounting.

What kind of trailer are you wanting to put this in?
