Which One Should You Choose?
Choosing between L-Track and E-Track depends on your tie down needs and your truck or trailer setup. Both L-Track and E-Track are incredibly strong and versatile. However, E-Track tends to work better for heavier-duty cargo with the added benefit of securing tall or stacked cargo items to trailer walls. L-Track, on the other hand, had better versatility and allows you more options to create custom tie down setups.
No matter which option you choose, E-Track and L-Track from US Cargo Control are both high-quality tie down trails guaranteed to keep your cargo safe and secure. For more information on these tie down systems, read our additional articles and resources listed below!
