Securing your cargo doesn’t have to give you a headache. It can be made simple with the use of an E-Track and its accessories. These industrial rails are pretty popular with the enclosed trucking industry, as they offer unique ways for truckers to secure their cargo. 

An E-Track System can help you save space within either your dry van, shipping container, semi-trailer, or box truck. Their E-fitting slots also create various attachment points for various securement tools, such as E-Track Straps. Accessories like J-Hooks and Cargo Nets can help you organize and separate your equipment so you can access it quickly. Best of all, E-Track systems are pretty easy and quick to install. They can be installed vertically, horizontally, or in a criss-cross fashion, allowing you to secure your cargo from multiple angles within your enclosed trailer.

Not only will your materials be protected, but you can also carry various pieces of cargo at one time. After all, you get paid by the number of loads you haul. Organization within your dry van will ensure you work more efficiently, safer, and faster. More importantly, you’ll make more money on the job.

11 Must-Have E-Track Accessories Needed For Cargo Control

There are tons of E-Track accessories to use to optimize the space of your enclosed trailer and provide security for your cargo. Here are the top 11 E-Track accessories needed to keep your cargo and hardware tools safe and secure:

• Cargo nets
• Over-The-Wheel Straps
• E-Track Wheel Chock
• Tool Hooks
• J Hook & U Hook

• Spare Tire Holder
• E-Track Bag & Basket
• E-Track Straps
• E-Track Rails
• E-Track Fittings

1. E-Track Straps

Of course, an E-Track system is only as good as its E-Track Straps. They can be attached to your already-installed E-Track rails and provide a higher level of protection for your cargo. Furthermore, the straps are made out of high-strength and flexible polyester webbing that can handle heavy, shifting cargo. Typically, they’re color-coded to indicate their varying lengths and labeled with their load capacities. E-Tracks Straps can even be paired with various end fittings, enhancing your cargo security.

Even better, there are tons of E-Track straps on the market to choose from. Let’s take a closer look at some of these styles:

An E-Track System will make your enclosed trailer more versatile. Not only will you be able to secure your cargo, but also haul several loads at one time. Made out of a 12 gauge high-strength steel, with a galvanized finish, these rails can withstand the force of even your heaviest cargo. These 2 ft to 8 ft rails will turn your truck or van into the ultimate hauling machine. 

Even better, these E-track rails can be installed horizontally, vertically, or even in a criss-cross fashion, creating multiple anchoring points in your van. Installing E-Track Rails along the walls and flooring of your trailer can help you utilize the space of your trailer, all while protecting your materials. 

1. Horizontal E-Track Rails: As the name suggests, Horizontal E-Track Rails can be bolted or screwed in along the walls, ceiling and even the floors of your trailer. This style of E-Track rails allows cargo equipment to be installed and removed within seconds. Moreover, our Horizontal Rails are made out of hot rolled steel, range in length from 2 ft to 8 ft and width 5-¼”, and have slots sized from 2-⅜” top to bottom.
	2. Vertical E-Track Rails: Though, the Vertical style provides the best results when it comes to protecting your cargo. They prevent the instance of your freight from being damaged by double-stacking pallets. They’re commonly used in dry vans with various pieces of hardware such as Ratchet Straps and Cam Buckles. This style can be installed along the walls of your trailer or up and down. Mytee Products’ E-Track Vertical Rails come in two lengths 5ft and 8ft, provide several anchor points every 2” and come with a long-lasting quality.
3. Cross Style E-Track Rails: On the other hand, the Cross Style E-Track Rails can go either way. They create an “x” shaped slots, allowing for tons of versatility, more so than the other styles. Our Criss-Cross E-Tracks come in three lengths 8 inches, 2 feet, and 5 feet can be used in conjunction with various pieces of E-track hardware. This style of rails is commonly used in enclosed van trailers. Most importantly, they allow you to optimize the space of your trailer and haul more cargo.

How To Install E-Track Rails On A Flatbed Trailer Or A Van 

Installing your E-Track Rails could mean the difference between delivering your cargo in mint condition or damaging it. Here are a few steps to help you properly install your E-Track Rails:

1. First, map out, measure, and mark where you plan to place each section of your E-Track rail. To do this, find your trailer’s studs and joists to know where to place your rail. You’ll have a stronger E-Track installation if your rail hits up against several joists and studs. 
2. Make sure each section is straight and level before you start drilling. 
3. Next, start bolting down your E track. You can use longer screws to drill through thick plywood. 
4. Drill at a slow and steady pace to prevent any stripping of the screw’s thread. 
5. Underneath the trailer deck, add a washer and nut to help lock your screws or bolts into place. 
6. Now you can start hanging your tools and securing cargo to your newly installed E-Tracks.   

3. E-Track Fittings

We have a wide range of e-fittings for securing and organizing your cargo. Understanding which E-Track end fittings work well with the floor or side anchor points of your enclosed trailer will go a long way in protecting your cargo.
