E-Track vs. L-Track: Which One is Better?
Choosing between L-track and E-track depends on your tie-down needs and your truck or trailer setup:
- E-track works better for heavy-duty cargo, like securing vehicles or equipment. You can also use it to create decking to increase your trailer space. E-track is the go-to choice for trucking industry professionals.
- L-track is better for light-duty cargo and has a smaller profile - making it perfect for pickup truck beds or other applications where space is tight.
