E-Track and Anchors Buying Guide

What E-Track Is and Where It Is Used

E-track is a steel rail with slots along its length. Fittings clip into the slots, so you can put a tie-down point wherever you need one. Straps, hooks, and rings attach to the fittings, and the fittings move when the load changes.

It holds motorcycles, furniture, tools, and equipment in place in trailers, truck beds, garages, and workshops, and works as wall storage. See the E-Track System collection.

Horizontal vs. Vertical Track and Which Lengths Boxer Sells

Horizontal track runs along a wall or floor for long loads and rows of tie-down points. Vertical track runs up a wall for hanging gear.

A single long rail means fewer joints than joining several short rails. The 1 ft and 5 ft rails ship by ground; the 18 ft and 26 ft rails are local pickup only from Boxer's Santa Fe Springs, California warehouse. Browse all rails in the E-Track Rails collection.

Finishes and What Is Actually Sold in Each Length

Galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion, suiting trailers and outdoor use. Black powder coating resists scratches and rust. Silver is a plain metal finish; raw finish is uncoated steel.

Only the finishes in the table above are sold in that length. The 5 ft black and galvanized rails are separate listings with different SKUs, not one listing with a finish choice. The 10 ft horizontal rail is galvanized only, and the 10 ft vertical rail is black only.

How to Mount E-Track

Mount the rail to a solid surface — a trailer wall or floor frame, a truck bed, or wall studs. It needs solid material behind every fastener; thin paneling alone will not hold.

Hold the rail in place, mark the pre-drilled holes, and fasten it at every hole so it sits flat with no gaps behind it, using fasteners suited to the surface. Installation hardware is not included with the 1 ft and 2 ft rails. Before loading it, pull on the rail by hand and confirm no fastener moves. Place rails where straps can run straight to the load, not at a sharp angle.

General guidance only — Boxer's listings state no screw sizes or torque values. If unsure the surface can carry the load, ask a qualified installer.

Fittings: O-Rings, D-Rings, Rope Tie-Offs, and Wheel Straps

Fittings clip into the rail slots and are what your strap or rope connects to, so pick the fitting for the job. All fit standard E-track. Browse them in the E-Track Fittings collection.

O-rings are round; double-stud versions clip into two slots and hold steadier, and the larger ring takes bigger hooks. D-rings are D-shaped and fold flat. Rope tie-offs are for rope instead of straps — the rope tie-off comes in Black or Yellow, and the delta ring version (11" long, 2" wide) is made to order, with a swivel idler that lets the ring turn to meet the pull. Spring fitting clips are the basic clip other straps build on, and J-hooks and U-hooks give a hook point for straps and rope.

Wheel straps hold a vehicle by its tires. The E-track wheel chock tie-down strap, 2" x 8' is a ratchet strap with a wheel chock, rated 4,400 lbs break strength, $10.99. The chock locks around a tire up to 35" in diameter; order one per tire. See the E-Track Wheel Straps collection.

Breaking strength is not the working load limit. Never exceed the lowest-rated part of the setup — rail, fitting, or strap.

Matching Straps to the Track

E-track straps have E-fittings that clip into the rail slots, and any 2" E-track strap fits any standard E-track rail. Pick by length, buckle type, and rating. Browse them in the E-Track Straps collection.

Cam buckles tighten by hand and suit lighter, frequent use. Ratchets pull tighter and suit heavier loads. Triple E-fitting straps give extra anchor points along the rail.

Boxer sells kits: the E-Track Rail Tie-Down Kit ($67.99) and 5 ft galvanized rail kits with 2" x 12' yellow straps ($79.99), 2" x 16' gray straps ($89.99), or 2" x 20' blue straps ($99.99). See the E-Track Kits collection.

FAQ

What is E-track? A steel rail with slots along its length. Fittings clip into the slots to create tie-down points wherever you need them.

Should I use horizontal or vertical E-track? Use horizontal track along a wall or floor for a row of tie-down points for cargo; use vertical track up a wall to hang gear. Boxer sells horizontal rails in 1, 2, 5, 10, 18, and 26 ft, and a vertical rail in 10 ft black.

What finishes does Boxer sell? Black, galvanized, silver, and raw finish — but not every finish in every length. The 1 ft rail is black only, the 2 ft rail is black or silver, the 5 ft rail is sold as separate black and galvanized listings, the 10 ft horizontal rail is galvanized only, the 10 ft vertical rail is black only, the 18 ft rail is raw only, and the 26 ft rail is galvanized only.

What is the difference between an O-ring and a D-ring fitting? Both clip into the track and give straps and hooks a place to attach. O-rings are round; D-rings are D-shaped and fold flat. Boxer's single-stud O-ring and D-ring anchors are both rated 4,000 lbs breaking strength, and the double-stud O-ring anchors are rated 6,600 lbs.

Do E-track straps fit any E-track rail? Yes. Any 2" E-track strap with E-fittings fits any standard E-track rail, including Boxer's rails. Match the strap length to the distance from the rail to the load.
