I just installed e-track in my enclosed trailer. Works great, I also made some videos on trailer security.

[@michaelmunoz3757]

What size screws did you use? I know if you go to long they poke out the other end

[@ThriftyGarage]

@@michaelmunoz3757 I have a full e-track install video. Shows what size screws I used as well as how to determine what size you need for your own trailer.

[@likebutton3136]

Just make sure your trailer is level before using a bubble level inside your trailer 😉

[@mrdavebach]

I was thinking the same thing. Probably better just to measure from floor.

[@Allgood73]

Yup, he mentioned that @9:59

Setting the trailer up on jack stands is then easy to level it up, ... then add your level shelving, ...

always refreshing to see a video that actually helps people thank you for your time and info ill be doing this to my trailer

[@TheShackHome]

galbavy21 Just make sure you tap into the frame. this made a huge difference for my customer. He was very happy with the results. Please let us know how your project turns out.Thanks for viewing.

I decided to install e track myself and save money from having the dealer do it. Seems easy enough!

[@TheShackHome]

Charles it is quite strait forward. My only tip would be if you need to really tighten down what you intend to haul I'd also add carriage bolts on the beams. drill all the way through and push the carriage bolt from the outside in just an extra step to prevent the track from being pulled off. Thanks for viewing

[@charlesthomas4032]

@@TheShackHome I just used 1 1/2" #12 self tapping screws on the beams, and 1 1/2" #12 bolts w/ washers and lugnuts on the floor every 3rd or 4th hole in between. The floor will come up before the load!

Break The Chains thanks. I had to watch this again cant believe KZbin didn't catch that. They are so crazy with copywrite issues. I know I've been dinged a few time with music I could barely hear way in the background, Crazy. gotta love them B52's. Thanks for viewing.

[@chrisguice139]

Have you had any issues with the self tapping screws pulling loose? I have been thinking of e track for my trailer but cut out the wood at the support and weld it in.

[@TheShackHome]

Chris Guice if you’re hauling things that are heavy I think that’s a great option. Or possibly drilling all the way through and using a carriage bolt another option. My customer uses this for catering so most are light rolling shelf’s and a few folding tables. It fits his needs. So far no issues.

[@living2learn138]

Hi there, I have a question, at 8:53 you are installing the brackets for the shelf, do the bolts come out to the outside of the trailer?

[@TheShackHome]

50Calx2 no I’d didn’t do anything different I put one self tapping screw into the stud of the trailer just like the T track but you could put a bolt through the trailer . I would but only where the frame is (stud) in the wall . My customer does catering so he really doesn’t have much that is very heavy I added the extra support from the shelf to the roof of the trailer only for the fact that someone may lean against it and I wanted to give it extra strength and stability

[@udavidism]

If the bolt or screw didn't pop through to the outside it only missed by a tiny fraction of an inch. Most of those supports are only an inch thick, most plywood is one quarter of an inch, anything longer than an inch and a quarter and you will be seeing sunshine.

[@TheShackHome]

Lisa Smith if you have an enclosed utility trailer throw up some E-Track and strap it down no more falling. All safe and secure.

@@TheShackHome thank you. I did just watch a KZbin on that I emptied some stuff out into storage yesterday. My back hurts today. I've down some Facebook lives but think I'll do another KZbin soon.

Thank you Electro I do get luck every now and then my customer was very happy so I'm happy. Thanks for the compliment and for viewing.

[@allenpartyof6]

what brand of e-track do you use?

[@papaspizza396]

I live in Temecula, I’m looking at buying an enclosed trailer for catering purposes too. How could I get a hold of you for a price quote? I don’t own the trailer yet, but I’m shopping for it currently.

Papas Pizza so sorry got really busy and side tracked my email is [e-mail] if you still need any help.
