Hardware for Securing E-track to Wood Trailer Floor
Question:
Are these the recommended screws to fasten the E-track to the wood floor and can they be also used to secure the track to the steel floor supports
asked by: Paul
Helpful Expert Reply:
The # TF01150 screw is meant to fasten a wood floor to a trailer, it wouldn't be my choice for attaching E-Track to a wood floor. I'd use 1/4 inch diameter lag bolts whose length is a bit less than the thickness of the floor. How many bolts you need would depend on what you're using the E-track for. I'd probably want a bolt fastening the track about every 12 inches or so, maybe closer together for a heavier load. Use a self tapper like # FA1131822 to attach to the steel floor supports.
