Expert Answers about Chevrolet ATV-UTV Tie Downs
- Is The Capacity of the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit Per Tire
- The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit part # EM09160 has a 1,500 lb weight capacity as a whole. It's not made for vehicles if that's what you were wondering but rather ATVs and UTVs. If you need to secure a vehicle I instead recommend using the Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net part # 77314 which has a capacity of 1,166 lbs per wheel net and attaches to the same e-track system as the above.

- Yes, you can use the Erickson Mini E-Track Plate # EM09134 with E-Track ratchet straps such as the CargoSmart Ratchet Straps for E-Track - 1" x 6' - 500 lbs # 3481717 or Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap with Roller Idler and Ratchet - 2" x 12' - 1,100 lbs # EM58523, though you would not be able to use wheel chocks.
I went out and test fit the plate with the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks # EM09162-2 and found they would not fit. So if you were okay with not using wheel chocks - for...
view full answer... - Backing Plates For The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit
- Erickson has the spacing for the mounting holes of the # EM09160 before and after the chock at approximately 4-3/8" center to center. Since they unfortunately do not offer a custom backing plate the # e96RR you purchased is going to be the closest option. The elongated front and rear holes are 4-1/2" apart center to center so you could possibly get it to line up straight and fit but you'll likely need to notch either the front or back hole about 1/8" to get the bolts to drop through.

- Yes, the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14207 can be used to secure your UTV to your trailer. Each strap has a working load limit of 833lbs, so you will want to ensure that you use enough straps to safely secure the weight of your UTV.
Personally I recommend using the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # 34414. These straps will automatically wind themselves for easy storage. Plus you never have to worry about the strap coming out of the ratchet mechanism...

The four outside holes on the etrailer plate # e96RR do generally align with the mounting holes on the ATV kit but we have found that it may sometimes be necessary to enlarge two of them to get the best fit. Just...

- I do have a way that will allow you to secure an ATV with 32" tires to a trailer, however, we do not have a single all inclusive kit that will allow you to do so. Instead you will want to piece together a kit that will allow for this.
I recommend using the Erickson Horizontal E-Track part # EM59150 in addition to a set of wheel chocks and tie downs like the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks for E-Track part # EM09162-2 and the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Strap w/ Ratchet and Soft Tie-Loop part...

- The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160 has a total safe working limit of 1,500 lbs; the straps themselves are not rated for 1,500 lbs each. When you install four that would mean your limit would increase to 3,000 lbs. This kit has been met with extremely high praise from our customers who have used it.
I've added links to a pair of video reviews on this kit for you to take a look at.

- Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks # EM09160
You just need to ensure your tires are between 10" and 30" in diameter, which the vast majority of golf cart tires are going to be, but I do recommend double-checking just to be on the safe side.

It sounds like you have a lot of weight forward on the trailer and that could make the tongue weight greater than 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. If that is the case, you can move both vehicles back on the trailer some...

You can use the extender to contain the ATV but not to secure it to the truck.
You can use a kit such as Erickson # EM09160 to secure the ATV in the bed and the expander to help contain your other gear like gas cans, etc.
