Owners of hobby cars or small farms have special challenges when it comes to their vehicles. When traveling to a regional race or getting an ATV or Gator to a friend on loan (or to the repair shop, for that matter), you have the choice of a pull-behind trailer or something more durable with room to work, like an enclosed trailer. Enclosed is the way to go if you can afford the expense, one that will likely yield a strong return if you continue the current lifestyle. Hobby cars, ATVs, motorcycles and more have a way of multiplying once you discover how much fun they are!

The work comes in (and so does the worry) when you have to transport the vehicles. By far the most secure, stable way to do so is with the help of e track for trailers.

E track for trailers is a simple solution to complex logistic and safety problems. The system is comprised of lengths of hardened steel with either a galvanized or powder coated finish. The steel is manufactured with openings or slots down the center of the strip. The slots serve to receive fittings which can be used to anchor equipment and other cargo, including vehicles. Along the outer edge of the track is a series of holes to receive fasteners like self-tapping screws. The screws hold the track into the frame of a trailer.

Although e track for trailers can be installed anywhere along the floor of your ride, it’s best to first know the wheelbase of the vehicles you anticipate shuttling around. The track should be installed just inside the wheelbase so that it rests beneath the inside of the tires.

Fittings with d-rings and o-rings match perfectly with the slots on the e track for trailers, providing owners with a lot of versatility when it comes to selecting straps.
