Compatibility of Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit EM09160 with Brophy Backing Plate BPEZ

Question:

Im very interested in the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit Code: EM09160, but I have a couple questions. Will other Erickson products, like its E-Track Tie Down Ring Code: 59131, clip in to the same chocks? Also, do holes on the E-Track Backing Plate Brophy, Code: BPEZ align with holes on the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit?

Erickson E-Track fittings like the Tie Down Ring # 59131 will work just fine in their ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit # EM09160. Please note you will supply appropriate installation hardware for the ATV kit based on the requirements of the mounting surface where you will install it.

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 a little bit of drilling should be all that is needed.

Tie-down straps must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined WLL of the straps being used. For example, if you are using straps with a WLL of 500 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 1,000 lbs, then you need at least 2 straps to safely secure that load. It is recommended that you always use straps in pairs.
