How to Attach E-Tracks to Cargo Trailer Walls
Question:
What is the best tools to use for installing etrack on the side walls of cargo trailer and how difficult is this to do?
asked by: Barry
Expert Reply:
When attaching e-tracks like the part # E19148 typically people run the bolts through the track, then through the wall or floor they are attaching the track to, through the backing plate like part # e96RR, and then finally the nuts get threaded onto the bolts. For a cargo trailer wall application though you might just use appropriately sized wood screws through all of the mounting holes to attach to the support beams of the trailer walls.
