Do Tie-Down Points/E-Track Need to Be Installed to Secure Arctic Cat to 4 x 8 Foot Utility Trailer
Question:
Hauling 2001 Arctic Cat 4x4 automatic 500 cc on a 4 x 8 open utility trailer with wood floor no rear gate. Can straps be anchored via the hooks to front and side points on my trailer? Or does it have to have anchor points directly on the floor, such as e-track or floor mounted hooks? In other words, the anchor points would not quite be front/rear of the tires. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
You wouldn't need to install dedicated tie down points into the trailer floor, your Arctic Cat can be secured to the trailer, but I'd rather see you use a combination of the # EM58522 wheel nets and for the front wheels and axle straps like # 88509 and ratchet straps such as part # EM51330 for the rear axle. The J-Hooks from the wheel nets could attach to the front underside of the trailer, and the axles straps and ratchet straps could secure the rear.
