Where Should Horizontal E-Track Be Positioned on the Inside of an Enclosed Trailer
Question:
What are typical mounting heights when runing two horizontal runs of e-track 0n each side in a 7foot high trailer bed?

Expert Reply:
One of the great things about E-Track is that you can mount it pretty much anywhere you want (as long as there is adequate support). Ideally you would mount the E-Track to a surface with the most support so if there is a horizontal support structure that runs the length of the trailer that is where I would put it.
Otherwise I would say about 3 feet up from the trailer floor would be a good spot. That is about waist high for the average adult male. If there is not enough support in the places you want to mount the E-Track you would need to reinforce the mounting locations with quality wood or steel on the opposite side of the trailer side walls.
