E Track

[Shawn]

I'm have a new enclosed trailer built and I'm considering adding E Track to the floor. Anyone have any comments to this type securing system? Trailer will hold ATV, SXS, Motorcycles and jeeps.

Thanks,

I use it in my enclosed and toy hauler. Works great.

We put a lot of it in my brothers snowmobile trailer. Kind of a waste on that since he's one of those that doesn't tie down his sleds but if you're hauling other stuff too then the adjustability is really nice.

You gotta keep it really clean or it's a bit of a pain. Not saying it wouldn't be nice on an open trailer, but any mud or ice build up and that hole becomes inaccessible. Personally I'd rather use d rings and save the money.

I used the flip up recessed D rings in mine for the reasons mentioned above. I don't need to invest in all the expensive E Track straps, and as I need, I just install another one if needed. Plus, I can just clean it out with a push broom.

I've used it in every job for the last quarter century. I've never seen it fail, and I've really cranked on it hard with ultra HD straps to tie down 6k lbs crates of glass/mirror.

Just make sure it's mounted to something very solid.

Thanks for the replies,

I put it in my enclosed. Love it. I also have a couple recessed d-rings I put in too but the e track is where it's at. You can get the specific straps for it or you can get the rings the can take any kind of strap. I have both.

Where is the cheapest spot to buy E track? Most places I can see ( HF, Home depot) are about $4/ft.. but I know it should be cheaper than that. Online plus shipping ends up about the same price.
Where do I go for local?

I've purchased it at lone peak trailer. I don't remember the price. I imagine other trailer places should have it also.

Whoa, old thread 🤪 I have bought it from both State Trailer Supply on Redwood Rd and ETrailer online.

This is the kit I ordered. Did all 4 walls of my 7x14.

I've got two strips on each wall my enclosed moto trailer. The high one is nice to hang gear bags, helmets etc...

Find any 8'ers locally? Preferably black? I need to put some in my trailer. I'd like to do the floor and sides.

How did you mount to the walls? Worry about how flimsy the walls can be and hanging anything?

After more searching, this is the cheapest I have found, and they have free shipping for my order

State trailer supply sells them in 4' and 8'. I have two rows on the floor, one row on each side of the trailer walls two on the front, and more on the front side walls to make an adjustable shelf.

I have 4 pieces of E track on my flatbed trailer. One for each corner of the SXS tires, and I strap it down around each tire. Works great, and makes securing the SXS mucho faster.
