How Does the E-Track System Install to a Trailer
Published 11/25/2014
Question:
WHAT SIZE SCREW AND HOW YOU FASTER THE RAIL TO SIDE OF THE TRAILER
asked by: Harold
Helpful Expert Reply:
The E-Track Trailer Cargo Control # E19148 can be secure by screws, rivets, or welding.
If you went with screws to install this you would need to base the size of the screw on how thick the wood is you are attaching the track to. For example, if your trailer had 3/4 inch thick plywood you would want to use a 1/2 inch long wood screw. I would recommend using every other hole of the track for installing the tracks.
Check out the video I attached to the right for more info.
