Expert Answers about E-Track
- Differences Between Different Brands of E-Track
- Since the slot dimensions and capacity of different brands of E-Track are identical, really the only differences are the finish and the lengths the tracks are sold in. If you're using the E-Track in an area where aesthetics are important, you can use a powder coated version like # e42VR. If a galvanized steel finish is okay with you, the # e62VR that you'd looked at would work just fine for you. Both part numbers provide 4-8 foot sections of E-Track.
I've used E-Track for years, and the...
view full answer... - Are the Erickson E-Tracks Zinc Plated or Galvanized
- The Erickson Horizontal E-Track part # E19148 is zinc plated using a current of electricity, not galvanized with a zinc coating. This will hold true for all of the e-tracks. I called my contact at Erickson Manufacturing just to be certain.

- We have a couple different styles of E-Track systems.
We offer a 5-foot track system like part # E19148 that has horizontal slots and usually installed on the floor or the inside of the walls in an enclosed trailer.
We also offer a vertical E-track part # E19146 that is four feet long and used the same way.
You will want to know which way you want the slots in the track to run for securing your band equipment. One great way to use different type tie-downs with the E-Track system is...

- Since what you are doing is a custom modification, there is not really a clear "should have" to go by. That being said, I can provide some thoughts and insights to help you make a decision.
Personally I would go with the CargoSmart Horizontal or Vertical X-Track # 3486500 and the CargoSmart Rotating Board Holder for E-Track and X-Track Systems # 3481740. This will allow you to use less space than installing an entire track along your Sprinter. You would install these on each side across...
view full answer... - What Is The Recommendation For Welding Erickson E-Track System
- The typical installation of the Erickson Horizontal E-Track, part # E19148 is by installing bolts or screws through the mounting holes on the track system.
It can be welded, but specific precautions should be used when doing so as this is a zinc-coated steel and welding produces dangerous fumes. It should always be done in a ventilated area.
In my research I found that the zinc coating has a lower melting point at 1,600 degrees F versus steel at 2,800 degrees F, and if not removed before...

view full answer... - Will the Angle of Pull Affect The Weight Capacity of Erickson E-Track # E19148 or D-Ring # E59143
- The direction of pull doesn't necessarily affect the load capacity of either the e track or the D-Rings, however, when ratcheting down your load, the direction of pull should be parallel to the direction that the Erickson # E19148 e track is running. D-Rings, such as Erickson # E59143 are an excellent hook-up option for a couple of reasons: first, because if you happen to have different loads at different attachment points, these rings are easily movable and second because they have a 3,500lb...

- While we do not have an entire kit like the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM98CV that is Made in the USA, we will have different parts that are Made in the USA.
For straps we have the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Strap # SLLS28RER. These 2" wide by 8' long straps have a safe working load of 1,467lbs each.

- The Snap-Loc Panel Cart/Pushcart with E-Track Anchor Points part # SL1500PCR319-P that you referenced weighs around 25 lbs without the handles. For tie downs, you can use the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Strap w/ Ratchet and Soft Tie-Loop part # SLLS28RER or to join multiple together you can use the Connecting Strap for Snap-Loc Moving Dolly part # SLLS2E6R.

- A backing plate is a good idea when securing the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Anchor, part # SLSS to your trailer.
We do not have a backing plate that has mounting holes that would match up with the mounting holes of the # SLSS. The mounting holes on the # SLSS are spaced 5-1/8 inches apart and are 3/8 inch square holes so you may be able to fabricate a backing plate that will work with the anchor.

- The cost of the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks for E-Track - Powder Coated Steel - Qty 2
# EM09162-2 and the single # EM09162 vary from the manufacturer. We adjust our prices based on the manufacturer to attempt to keep the cost the lowest for all our customers.
They are the same product, so whichever is a lower price at any given time would be my recommendation.

- The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e46SR does not have a center bolt as found on the comparably-rated 6K spring # e34SR. That center bolt head, or pilot, is not present on the single leaf spring because it is not needed as it is with multi-leaf springs. You can still install this spring using a u-bolt plate that has a center hole.
Although these two springs share the same dimensions and weight capacity (25-1/4 x 1-3/4, and 6K) if you are replacing a multi-leaf spring you'll want to stay with...

view full answer... - Will Upgraded Weight Distribution System Improve Sway Control
- Your Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 already has sway control with its spring bars so adding the Curt Friction Sway Control # 17200 would not provide you with additional sway, it would essentially be redundant.
Sway won't really be completely eliminated with these units but it should greatly minimize it; if you are experiencing more sway than usual it is possible your Curt system may not be rated high enough and an upgraded system would help improve sway. To know if...

- Your 225/75 load range E tires similar to our Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10303 may not be the issue you are having as generally excessive tire wear is caused by other factors.
First your Haulotte 5533A lift may have a bent axle spindle or bad bearings that would cause the tire to not sit flat on the ground while in tow. With the tire not being level it would cause the portion of the tread in contact with the ground to wear faster.
The other determining factor is air...
view full answer... - How to Determine If Trailer Leaf Springs Have Been Overloaded
- On a leaf spring the metal band that wraps around the bundle of steel leaves is intended to remain in place after installation. If your trailer's leaf springs now have hose clamps installed around them this could indicate that at one time the springs were over-loaded and that band was forced off or broken.
If when you remove those hose clamps the springs' leaves separate from each other then I suggest replacing all of the springs on the trailer.
You always want to replace both springs...
view full answer... - Can I Use A Weight Distribution Hitch On A 2014 Honda Pilot?
- I can certainly shed some light on the situation. I suspect that camping world told you this, because Honda discourages the use of a weight distribution hitch on a 2014 Pilot. The owners manual clearly states that it is not recommended as it may reduce handling and performance. We generally recommend contacting a dealership for more specifics on your vehicle.
All of that being said, if you do choose to use a weight distribution hitch, I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU36FR. This is...

- You are on the right track with calculating your payload. It sounds like you will be at about 875 lbs including fuel. There is no way to effectively increase your max payload rating.
One suggestion I do have would be to install a trailer hitch like our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98905. The hitch itself weighs only 35 lbs and is rated for up to 6,000 lbs towing. This should allow you to stay just under capacity. We are going to be pushing your truck near capacity, so anything we...
