Will the etrailer Horizontal E-Tracks Work for Securing a Vehicle and Does Every Hole Need Be Used
Question:
Hi, I am interested in the evening trac for towing on my new sure trac car hauler... I will be towing vehicles up to 6500 lbs and want to know if this wil work for my application using a strap over all 4 wheels... And also would you have to screw down in every hole in the track . Thanks

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Horizontal E-Tracks like part # e42VR are a great option for securing vehicles especially when combined with the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks part # EM09162-2 and Erickson E-Track Strap with Ratchet part # EM59136. I don't really have an exact answer for you in regards to the number of screws needed as this has been difficult information to get from the manufacturer sicne there are soo many variables but the closer you are to the weight capacity of the track, the closer you will need to have the screws to one another. I suggest every other hole for most applications just to be safe.
