Can E-Track be Installed in Car Hauler for Multiple Car Widths
Question:
You can install the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # E19148 in any manner you like, so for a car hauler that has cars of different widths you can place E-track side-by-side, as you can see one of our customers did in the accompanying photo. This E-track is only 5-1/8" wide so you can install numerous different tracks to meet as many widths as possible. For additional support I do recommend using the E-Track Backing Plate # e96RR during your install. This would be the best option and then you can use wheel chocks and tie-downs like the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks for E-Track - Powder Coated Steel # EM09162-2, Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net with E-Track Fittings - 1,166 lbs # 77314, or Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap with Roller Idler and Ratchet - 2" x 12' - 1,100 lbs # EM58523. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
