E-Track Recommendation to Secure 4 Motorcycles in an Enclosed Trailer

Question:

We will be hauling four motorcycles to Florida from Michigan in a 14foot enclosed cargo trailer with a plywood floor. My plan is to install 9 pieces of short E-Track 3 on each side, and 3 in the middle and secure each piece via the cross members and through the plywood with a metal backing plate. I will then purchase 10 of the Tie off Rings to tie down the motorcycles. Will it be acceptable to utilize one Tie off Ring to attach two straps? where the front of one bike would meet the strap of the rear of the bike in front Attached is a poorly illustrated drawing of my plan, but i feel it explains my question better. Thank you!!

You would be more than okay to run two tie downs off of one the E-Track Tie-Off Ring part # 59131 that you referenced. Each of these has a 4,000 lb capacity which would be more than enough for what you are doing.

Your plan to use 9 of the E-Tracks # EM59150 with the # 59131 like the drawing you sent in would work perfectly. For backing plates you could use the part # e96RR.

I attached an install video for the E-track for you to check out as well.
