Erickson Vertical E-Track E19146
Question:
Can you purchase the vertical E-Track in shorter lengths less than 4 feet? If you cant, can the E-Track be cut down to size for proper fit. I would like to install the spare tire rack using the verticlal E-Track and the RackEm RA-16H in my enclosed trailer. However for the area I want to place it requires a measurement a little over 2 feet. So again , can I cut the shorter length that I need ?

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, to help maintain the track's weight capacity.
