Could the E-Track Wheel Straps Be Used on Tracks That are too Narrow/Wide for Vehicle Wheels
Question:
I recently purchased an enclosed trailer with e track mounted to the floors from the factory, I will be hauling a variety of vehicles, and I am looking for some type of wheel straps. What if the vehicles wheelbase width is narrower or wider than the e track on the floor? will this style of strap work if the car is slightly narrower or wider?

Expert Reply:
Ideally the Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap # EM58523 would be used on vehicles that the wheels line up centered on the E-tracks. However, there should still be a way to attach to wheels that are a little too narrow or wide.
If they are too narrow for the tracks you could take and route the straps through the spokes of the rims, or if the tracks are too narrow for the wheels you could route the strap around the wheel, through one spoke, and then out through another spoke of the wheel and then back to the track.
