E-Track and D-Ring Recommendation for Securing Cargo in Enclosed Trailer
Question:
I just purchased an I closed trailer that has wooden walls, how would I go about attaching the d-rings to the walls in order to get good tie down. I have event equipment I will be loading into the trailer such as 6 ft tables, a grill and a commercial fryer on wheels, snow cone machine without stand generator and a lite weight soda/water cooler on wheels that stands up about half the height of a grill along with metal chairs. I have supplied pictures of the tables, fryer and soda cooler I dont have the grill yet but just think about a standard size grill height but this has a 22inch flat top on it

I'd install e-track on the walls of the trailer so that you could use e-track tie down anchors like part # 59131 and/or e-track ratchet straps like part # EM59136. The e-tracks give you tons of flexibility in how to strap everything down since the anchors can easily be moved as needed. For e-track then you can use the Vertical E-Track # E19146 mounted throughout your trailer using self-tapping screws.
I attached an install video on how to install the tracks as well.
