L Track Systems

Airline Track Cargo Securement

L-track, also known as logistic track or airline track, is a versatile tie-down system consisting of aluminum rails, fittings, and straps used to secure a range of cargo.

This adjustable cargo track system can be installed on trailers and pickup truck beds; in vans and enclosed trailers; even in utility trailers or vehicles on a farm, construction site, manufacturing facility, etc.

The multiple round openings on the L-track aluminum rails allow for quick attachment of spring fittings. You can create a custom tie-down at any point in the rail!

Rail lengths range from 6” to 96” to easily fit a variety of vehicles. They also have pre-drilled holes for quick and easy installation.

L-track singles are like rails but with just a single connection point. They can be installed on ATVs, skid loaders, garden tractors, etc. to create a spot for a quick connection of logistic track tie-down straps, bungee cords, rope, and more!

L-Track vs. E-Track

Aluminum L-track is designed with a narrower profile than traditional E-track. This design makes it ideal for use with pickup trucks, vans, and other vehicles where space may be limited.

Logistic Track Types

We offer four different styles so it's easy to find a design that suits your specific needs.

Standard L-Track

Standard L-track is our most popular style of logistic tie-down track, featuring the narrow profile this securement system is known for in a range of popular colors.

Painted L-track is great for coordinating straps, vehicle colors, or logo color schemes, and looks especially sharp when used for ATV tie-downs, snowmobile trailer tie-downs, or dirt bike tie-downs. The painted, powder-coat finish also resists abrasions and protects the aluminum.

2" single point tie-downs are also available in both a round and rectangular style. They are perfect for adding a tie-down point if you don't have room to install a full track.

Our standard L-track is suitable for both surface and flush-mount installations.

Aircraft Style L-Track

Aircraft style L-track also features a square profile, but it is made from a stronger, high-quality grade 6351 aluminum. It's ideal for applications requiring extra strength.

This style of tie-down rail was made popular in the airline industry as a way to secure seats, but the versatility of tie-down tracks makes them an excellent choice for many consumer tie-down applications.

Although this heavy-duty aluminum track is still known by a variety of terms relating to planes (such as airline track tie-downs), it's important to note that not all grades are FAA-certified for use in the airline industry.

Angled L-Track

Angled L-track features sloped edges, making it easier to roll items such as motorcycles, ATVs, utility carts, and other wheeled-objects over the tie-down track.

Designed for surface-mounted applications, these tie down rails are made from grade 6061-T6 aluminum for superior corrosion resistance. They also have pre-drilled holes to simplify installation. 

This style is commonly used in the transportation industry as a floor anchor system for wheelchairs; however, ours is designed for recreational and cargo control use only; none of our L-Track is certified for official wheelchair restraint use in buses, vans, and other transport vehicles.

Recessed L-Track

Recessed or flanged L-track is designed for flush-mount installations. This makes it ideal for applications where wheeled items are rolled over the track.

Like angled L-track, this style of adjustable cargo tie-down rail system is popular in the transportation industry for floor anchor systems and wheelchair tie-downs because of the ease of rolling items across it.

It's made from grade 6061-T6 aluminum for excellent corrosion resistance and has pre-drilled holes for easy installation.

Fittings and Accessories

A wide range of L-track accessories help make this system versatile. Most fittings are designed to be placed at any point along the track to create an instant and secure tie-down point.

You can choose from a selection of single stud fittings and double stud fittings, each with a variety of attachments, such as round rings, D-rings, delta links, bolt threads, and more.

Other products such as our flanged end cap and track filler strip make it easy to create a more finished look and allow for even surface installation in your truck or trailer.

L-Track Straps

We stock a large selection of L-track straps which are designed specifically to easily connect to logistic tie-down track rails and L-track fittings.

Some popular options include our 1" Ratchet Strap With S-Hooks and 2" x 12' Yellow E-Track Strap w/ Spring E-Fittings and Double Stud Fittings. Browse our full selection to find the right tie-down straps for your application.
