What's the Difference between Horizontal E-Track vs Vertical E Track? Beginner's Guide to E-Track

Watch USCC explain differences between horizontal and vertical E-Tracks, which E-Fittings to use, and which type is best for your application. E-track rails are made up of high-strength, 12-gauge steel rails attached to the walls or floor of an enclosed or flatbed trailer. At its most basic, it can be connected using screws, rivets, or even welding.

You should use E-tracks to provide a sturdy cargo securement system for trailers, cargo vans, moving vans, enclosed semi-trailers, and more. While horizontal semi-trailer E-track is the most popular choice, there are no hard and fast rules about which style you should use.

When using horizontal or vertical E-tracks, we recommend using them for different applications. Horizontal E Tracks can be mounted on the floor or bed of a trailer, as well as walls of trailers and vans. It has slots that run perpendicular to sides of the rail, and provide numerous tie-down points for cars or smaller vehicles. Vertical E tracks, also known as enclosed trailer E-Track, can support cargo of various sizes and heights, and can create a second level for cargo using shoring beam.
