Expert Answers about E-Track


  • E-Track For a Small Mounting Area on a Tow Dolly
  • There is actually a single E-Track anchor, # SLSB. Once installed you can then use tie-down # SLARI. Or you can use other E-Track accessories. You can cut down a regular piece of E-Track but it is an extra expense and work that isn't necessary since the single E-Track is available.

  • Is Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control Available With Galvanized Mounting Base
  • It is possible that the galvanized plate is a custom job, it could be part of the cargo truck, or the track was already installed in the truck from the manufacturer. The item you selected, Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, part # EM59150 is zinc plated. The E-Track can be mounted using screws, or rivets. If using screws, I would use a stronger grade screw like sheet metal screws. For tie downs and straps I would recommend either the E-Track Tie-Off Ring # 59131, or E-Track 2 inch...

  • Available Accessories for Use in Erickson E-Tracks
  • There are no E-Track fittings made specifically to support a shelf in a horizontal track such as # E19148 but Erickson and Brophy do offer track-mount storage hooks that you might adapt to this application. The various storage hook items are parts # EM59142 and # EM59141 in black, and parts # ETJS and # ETJR in galvanized finish. Do keep in mind that the fit of these E-Track accessories in your tracks may be a bit looser than you'd want for a fixed shelf. You can see all E-Track accessories...

  • Availability Of Wire Basket E-Track Mounts
  • I have another option for you, but the mounting brackets used to mount a wire basket on an e-track or x-track rail are not sold separately. To mount a basket on your e-track or x-track rails you will want the CargoSmart Wire Basket for E-Track and X-Track Small # 3481720, Medium # 3481719, or Large # 3481718. Each of these options includes the required brackets to mount the baskets to your e-track or x-track rails. I included a video of the CargoSmart Baskets for you to take a look at.

  • Availability of 2-Slot E Track Horizontal Track with Black Powder Coat Finish
  • I have a few of options for you, but this exact Erickson 2-Slot Horizontal E-Track # EM19145 isn't offered with a black powder coat finish. The Erickson Mini E-Track Plate # EM09134 is the closest option I have. It also has 2 horizontal slots and a nice matte black powder coat finish for superior corrosion resistance and adds a nice rugged look to it as well. This plate has a safe working load limit (WLL) of 800 lbs and a maximum load (break strength) of 2,400 lbs, which is much lower...

  • Availability Of 20' Long Horizontal E-Track Rails
  • I do have an option for you, but there is not an E-Track that is one piece and is 20' long. Instead I recommend using four of the 5' long etrailer Horizontal E-Track - Galvanized Steel - 2,000 lbs # e45VR. This will give you the 20' E-Track you are needing for your trailer. E-Tracks are compatible with quite a few accessories like a J-hook # EM59142, Tie-down # E59143, or tool holder # ETVH. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Available Erickson E-Track Wheel Chocks
  • Erickson offers only one size of E-Track wheel chock which measures 8-1/2 long x 6-3/8 wide x 4-1/2 tall. This is offered as a single chock under part # EM09162 and as a pair under part # EM09162-2. Erickson does offer a wheel chock and tie-down kit for ATVs, part # EM09160, which uses bolt-on chocks that attach directly to a trailer's deck (not to E-Tracks). With your finished floor setup this might be a better option.

  • Longest E-Track Length Recommendation
  • The longest section of E-track that we offer is the part # E19148 that is 5 feet long. Since the track would need to be securely attached to the trailer it is installed there would be no incentive that we can see for welding the tracks together. Securing 5 foot sections at the ends and the center using brackets like # e96RR is ideal.

  • Backing Plates And Wheel Straps For Securing Vehicles In Enclosed Trailer With E-Tracks
  • Yes we do have backing plates for the e-tracks. I recommend going with etrailer E-Track Backing Plates w/ Hardware - Galvanized Steel - 6" Long x 6" Wide - Qty 4 # e66RR which is a nice kit that includes 4 plates and all the necessary hardware. For wheel bonnets to secure your Honda Talon, I recommend going with the Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net with E-Track Fittings - 1,166 lbs # 77314. These straps have the E-track fitting so you can use them with your current setup. This fits most tires...

  • What Are the Available Lengths of Erickson E-Track Trailer Cargo Control Tracks
  • The standard lengths of Erickson E-track that we offer include the 5-foot # E19148 as well as 4 and 2-foot lengths. We also offer small single-, double- and 4-slot tracks for tight spaces. All can be seen on the link provided. The E-tracks are galvanized 12-gauge steel so to cut one to your required size you'll need to have a suitable saw blade that can cut steel. You'll also want to de-burr the cut edge to keep it safe for working.

  • Backing Plate Recommendation for Use with E-Track Installed on Wood Floor
  • Typically for wood floors we recommend using backing plates like the part # e96RR with the E-tracks like part # E19148 that you mentioned. I attached an install video for an E-track that shows the backing plate being used as well.

  • E-Track Wheel Strap Solution for Larger Diameter Wheels
  • If you installed e-track on the floor of your trailer like the part # EM19147 you could use the Erickson E-Track Tie Down kit part # EM58523-09162 which would attach to the track and since it has a strap length of 12 feet it would easily fit a 35 inch diameter tire. Otherwise there isn't a kit like you mentioned that would fit that diameter of tire.

  • Availability of Vertical E-Track Where the Slots are Stacked On Top of Each Other
  • Sounds like you are looking for vertical E-track like the part # E19146. This is e track that is similar to the # SLSZ you referenced but with the tracks stacked on top of each other instead. The mounting holes are 2-3/4 inches apart from side to side and 2 inches apart vertically.

  • Backing Plate for Use with Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit EM09160
  • Erickson does offer a zinc-plated steel backing plate for use with their E-Track products like their ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160. Use part # e96RR. You can see this item's hole dimensions and spacing in the linked photo. Since your trailer deck is aluminum and this plate is steel you will want to isolate them to prevent galvanic corrosion between the two different metals. A coating of paint or other insulating material will do it.

  • Options for Adding Bike Rack Inside Enclosed Cargo Trailer with Track System
  • Not directly, but I may still have a solution for you. I wasn't able to find an "A-Track" system but if it's anything like the E-Track or X-Track systems then you could potentially use some of the E-Track Wood Beam Socket for Standard 2" Lumber # 59149 as a base and then install a custom-mounted fork mount rack like the Kuat Dirtbag # DRT9P or Swagman Impakt # S62FR. This way you still get a bike rack that mounts to your floor but you can also remove it. Another option would be to use...

  • Is There an E-Track Wheel Chock Designed To Fit Bicycle Tires?
  • The CargoSmart Wheel Chock # 3481731 is only currently offered in a size which fits most front motorcycle tires. You might consider using something like the 3 Bike Floor Stand # S64018 if you are transporting multiple bikes. You could adapt it to fit into the E-Track by welding the rack to some Fittings # e59HR.

  • Is There a Rubber Backing/Spacer to Use Behind the etrailer E-Track Backing Plates
  • No, we do not have any rubber backing/spacers to use with the etrailer E-Track Backing Plates # e66RR to help reduce galvanic corrosion. I would just source some sort of rubber material from your local home improvement store and cut it to the size you need. That will be the easiest way to get hands on with the material and make sure it works well for what you are needing.
