tie down systems for enclosed trailers

[summ-it-up]

i just bought a enclosed trailer for work, with the possibilty of hauling a few sleds around occasionally. it already has the d rings in the floor, so the sleds should be fine. but i was looking for a good sytem to attach to the walls of the trailer for hauling other material ect.
any body have an idea what that e-track system at princess auto is like?

. i'm hoping to have removable shelves in the trailer so when i need the extra space they can be some what easily removed. thanks, any other ideas would be great.

E-Track is the only way to go. It's relatively inexpensive and simple to install. The removeable hooks are only $4 at Princess Auto. I run it all along the bottom of the walls in my toyhauler, and I bought 20 hooks, never run out of anchor points tying down the quads and bike.

yep. got my enclosed setup with e-track now. the price was right and the combinations are endless. i even cut off some standard superclamp mounts and welded them to the etrack clips so i can move my superclamps wherever they need to go. you will find the d-rings start to dissapear after a few uses. my trailer came with them and im down to about 2.

Yep in my opinion E track is the way to go. I have a 2 place Karavan snowmobile trailer. I put 6 10 feet lengths of E track down, 4 lengths for 2. 4 wheelers, and 2 lengths center for one 4 wheeler. I went and bought 6 webs that go over the rear tires of the 4 wheelers, enough locks for the E track. The 4 wheelers don't move with the webs on the 2 rear tires!

E track as well. no more tripping over straps crossing all over the place to get to the d rings.

my trailer only has supports every 24" on the floor. but it has a 1" wood floor. i used self tapping bolts where they cross the supports but used about 500 wood screws to fill EVERY hole. think i will have any issues with this?

e-track all the way. I modded one of the 2x4 holders to work with the superclamps. I can move it anywear. The other ties down options are great as well.

Pretty much the same thing I did, no issues yet and I don't plan on to unless the trailers upside down in which i"ll have bigger issues to worry about. Actually had some of the screws pull out from the original d-rings, so i'm very confident in these e tracks.

i did the same thing with some of my tracks. difference being mine were on the wall. my trailer has the 3/8 plywood on the wall and supports every 24 inches. seems pretty tough. went with 4' vertical tracks in the front and the back. like i said, mine is mostly for work, hauling kitchens ect... might get some more and put the 2x4 holders on for some removable shelves.
