Shelving Options That Mount to Trailer Wall

Question:

Hey guys how much weight will 1 of the hinged 2 inch bracket hold. Trying to come up with something thats mounts on the wall to hold boxes of downspouts and when not in use swing against wall. Do they make anything like the cone holder but the bar lays flat in the bracket or could the cone holder bar be cut so it lays flat thanks guys let me know. Any help would be great

There may be a solution for you though the Traffic Cone Holder for E-Track or Rack'em Spare Tire Holder # RA-26 does not have a specific weight rating for one of the brackets.

There are a couple options for you to consider like the CargoSmart Rotating Board Holder for E-Track and X-Track Systems # 3481740, which will require you to provide your own shelving. I believe this may have been what you were referring to by something like the cone holder with the bar laying flat in the bracket. It is not the exact design you want but it is something to consider; you could use it with the CargoSmart X-Track Rail # 3481770 and Mounting Hardware Kit # 3481783.

Another option to consider is the Tow-Rax Wall Mounted Folding Table # TWSP45HFTA which has a 100 lb weight capacity and does fold up against the wall for storage; when folded up you can secure it to your wall with something like the Erickson Adjustable Tarp Tie-Down Strap w/ S-Hooks # EM06736. To mount the folding table you would need the Mounting Buttons for Tow-Rax Wall Mounted Folding Table # TWSP30BK.

Something else you may want to check out is the Rack'em Side Wall Adjustable Shelf Supports for Enclosed Cargo Trailers # RA-24 which both hang from a runner at the top of your side wall and get drilled in for added support. They fit 12" wide shelving lumber and though it is not retractable it is a solid option that can hold roughly 100 lbs. I have added photos both of these supports and the folding table so you can see what they might look like for your install.

I have added links to some video reviews as well as links to our selection of E-track and cargo organizers for you.
