E-Track Recommendation for Securing ATV to Utility Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 7 X16 open toy hauling trailer with a 2x6 treated wood floors, will E-Track mounted to the floor under my 4 wheelers to hold them in place work? If so, when should I be using for screws to hold the track in place? Thanks

E-track can easily attach to the wood floor you have in your open utility trailer. This is a very common style of trailer that is used with the E-tracks. I attached a couple review videos that show etracks installed in a similar trailer as yours and what they use to secure the cargo.

The etrack sections like the part # E19148 would be more than adequate to secure your ATV.

The # 59131 is a great anchor to use, or if you want a strap that attaches directly to the etrack we have the # EM59136 which would be great as well.

E-tracks, like the Erickson Horizontal E-Track #E19148 can be cut down to fit your application. We do not recommend bending the E-track, but rather cut or use smaller pieces and lay them in a way that makes up for the bend.

Biggest difference is how they connect to the tow vehicle. The Alpha part #BX7380 slides into a hitch opening and the Acclaim #BX4330 connects to a hitch ball like a trailer does. The preferred method is the Alpha which allows you to fold the tow bar…

I can't confirm US Cargo Control as this is not a brand we carry but the e-track fittings are fairly standardized so you should be able to use any brand designed for e-tracks such as the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Ring part #59131 with the…
