Expert Answers about E-Track


  • E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 Recommendation and Compatibility
  • You could use a E-Track Wood Beam Socket with the E-track setup that you have. I spoke with my contact at Erickson and she went out and put a E-Track Wood Beam Socket # 59149 into an E-Track Trailer Cargo Control # E19148 and found that the # 59149 would not hang over the bottom of the E-track once installed and would work for your setup. I attached a review video for the E-Track system for you to check out also.

  • Compatibility of Erickson EM09162 e-Track Mounted Wheel Chock with Vertical e-Track.
  • The Erickson # EM09162 E-Chock Wheel Chock will work with vertical e-track, but the chock will sit perpindicular to the e-track, rather than inline as it would sit with standard e-track. The slots in the standard and the vertical e-track are the same exact dimensions. I've linked a product description video featuring the e-track mounted wheel chock.

  • Is E-track Stronger Than X-track, Is There An Advantage Of One Over The Other
  • E-tracks are typically the stronger of the two, but X-track is more versatile since you can mount them horizontally or vertically. Choosing between the two really depends upon how you plan to use them. If you are installing something in a truck bed, e-tracks are the better choice. If you are setting up something in your home workshop, you might be better served with x-tracks. The strap systems are interchangeable between the two systems. You can see this if you compare the E-Track and...

  • E Track Mounting Recommendations
  • Absolutely, you can mount E track just about anywhere it will fit. We had a customer send in a picture of his E track mounted sided to side on his trailer so the pressure is across all the decking instead of just one board. You can check out the pictured I linked. I recommend using E-Track Backing Plate # e96RR when installing E track. The backing plate reinforces and improves the tie-down support of your E-track system by mounting to the opposite side of the E track (essentially sandwiching...

  • Is the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Anchor Compatible with E-Track Bars
  • The Snap-Loc E-track tie-down anchor, # SLSU, works with Snap-Loc cargo straps, ring attachments and any E-track accessories. If you have a specific E-track item in mind, let me know what it is and I can verify compatibility. If you are talking about and actual length of E-Track, like # E19148, then the anchor would not fit in the E-Track slots. Think of anchor SLSU as a single really short E-Track.

  • Should the Tires Sit on Top of the E-Track System When Installed in a Trailer
  • The E-track system can install any way you would like on your trailer. It is common to install the E-Tracks so the wheels of a vehicle are on top of the E-track. This allows you to use wheel nets, like part # EM58523, that attach directly to the E-track system. Many wheel nets typically have only one hook in front of the tire and one hook behind the tire. Installing the E-track system so the wheels are on top of the track rather than on the side provides more stability when transporting...

  • Operation of Locking Release Tab on Loc-Ring for Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Anchor # SLARI
  • The Loc-Ring for Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Anchor # SLARI has a spring-loaded tab that is pressed in toward the O-ring to allow it to be inserted into an E-Track receptacle. The tab also needs to be pressed in for removing the O-ring from the E-Track. If you wish to add or replace some of the E-Track in your trailer we offer both 5-foot, part # E19148, and 2-foot lengths, part # EM59150. When installed on the floor of your trailer, the top surface of the E-Track will extend above the...

  • Can E-Track be Installed in Car Hauler for Multiple Car Widths
  • You can install the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # E19148 in any manner you like, so for a car hauler that has cars of different widths you can place E-track side-by-side, as you can see one of our customers did in the accompanying photo. This E-track is only 5-1/8" wide so you can install numerous different tracks to meet as many widths as possible. For additional support I do recommend using the E-Track Backing Plate # BPEZ during your install. This would be the best option and then you...

  • Are All of the E-track and X-Track Accessories Interchangeable
  • That's a fine question. Unlike many things in this world the companies like Kinedyne, Erickson and Cargo Smart all made the tracks the same size! So luckily for us we can use any of the e-track or x-track accessories like the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chock for E-Track part # EM09162 interchangeably. As a side note I really like X-Track or E-Track and find it to be extremely handy. Enjoy.

  • Erickson Vertical E-Track E19146
  • I have a solution for you, but the Erickson Vertical E-Track # E19146 only comes in sections 4 feet long. There are no vertical E-tracks that are shorter. However, the E-tracks can be cut to fit the length needed for your trailer. The # E19146 with the Rackem Spare Tire Carrier for E-Track # RA-16HST will work well for your trailer. Since the E-track will be a smaller section, you will want to ensure that it is secured to either the trailer frame or with backing plates, like # e96RR,...

We also have pre-made shelves that fit into the e-track, the Brophy Utility Shelf for E-Track part # ETLSB and part # ETSSB or the CargoSmart Locking Cabinet for E-Track part # 3481725.

  • 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.

  • The etrailer E-Track Backing Plates with Hardware part # e76YR work with any of the etrailer Horizontal E-Tracks like part # e42VR. The track and backing plates allow for up to 2,000 lbs but you'll also be limited by the material you're mounting the tracks to. I have attached our full selection of tracks below.

  • Using Erickson Horizontal E-Track for Securing 2 Sport Quads on 12 Foot Trailer
  • E-track is very versatile and comes in different lengths so you can choose what best fits your needs. If you plan on using the e-track to only tie-down your sport quads, it can work well to have the e-track in the middle of the trailer for a tie-down point. However, it you think you will use the e-track to transport other cargo and will need more tie-down options, using 2 rows of e-track will work better. I spoke with one of my co-workers and he says he uses a single row of e-track to...

  • Is it Possible for E-Track and Snowmobile Carbides to Scratch Each Other
  • From what I understand about snowmobiles, and please correct me if I am wrong because I have little knowledge on them, the carbides are the part the skis attach to. Is that correct? I am not sure how the E-track or the carbides would come into contact with each other. But if they did then it would be possible for one to scratch the other. To avoid that you could use 3 lengths of tracks; one on the far left side and one on the far right with one in the center between the snowmobiles so...

  • Can E-Track be Mounted Perpendicular to UTV
  • That's a good question and we have had a number of people wanting to do the same thing, but e-track does need to be mounted parallel to your UTV, in the direction of travel. Wheel straps pulling to the side, opposite the direction of travel, can put undue stress on the straps with what is essentially a moving load. So what you will want is horizontal e-track with wheel straps: - Erickson Horizontal E-Track - 4 Feet # EM19147 or 5 Feet # E19148 - Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap...
