Polar King Mobile’s refrigerated trailers are designed with versatility and user convenience in mind. One of the standout features of these trailers is their readiness for E-Track systems. This built-in capability allows you to easily secure your cargo, ensuring that it remains stable and protected during transport.
What Makes Polar King Mobile Trailers E-Track Ready?
All Polar King Mobile refrigerated trailers come with wood reinforcement specifically designed to support the installation of a horizontal E-Track system on both sidewalls. Additionally, tie-down rings and other anchoring systems can be utilized on the floor, giving you multiple options for securing your cargo.
However, it’s important to note that Polar King Mobile does not install E-Track systems or floor anchors. The installation of these secondary accessories is the responsibility of dealers or end users. Also, E-Track should only be installed on the sidewalls—never on the front or back walls, or the ceiling.
Understanding E-Track Systems
E-Track is a highly versatile cargo securing system, consisting of mounted steel rails with slots that allow for various anchor points. These rails are ideal for securing heavy or bulky items during transport, making them an essential addition for those who regularly haul goods. E-Track systems come in a variety of sizes and can be paired with numerous accessories to meet your specific needs.
Installing E-Track on a Polar King Mobile Trailer
While Polar King Mobile trailers are E-Track ready, proper installation is key to ensuring both the effectiveness of the system and the integrity of the trailer. Here’s a quick guide to installing your E-Track system:
- Follow Manufacturer Specifications: Always adhere to the E-Track manufacturer’s guidelines. This includes using the correct fasteners and ensuring that the installation does not damage your trailer.
- Prepare Your Tools and Materials: Before you begin, gather all necessary tools, fasteners, and wood screws as specified by the E-Track manufacturer.
- Locate the Reinforced Area: The wood reinforcement in Polar King Mobile trailers consists of 3/4″ plywood. Identify the raised horizontal sections of the sidewalls where the E-Track will be installed.
- Measure and Mark: Determine the length of E-Track needed and mark the installation points on the sidewall.
- Pre-Drill and Seal: To ensure a secure installation, Polar King Mobile recommends pre-drilling the screw holes and applying silicone caulk to seal the wall penetrations. This will help protect against moisture and maintain the trailer’s integrity.
- Install the E-Track: Begin by fastening one end of the E-Track with a #12 or #14 x 3/4″ wood screw. Ensure that the track is straight and level before securing the other end. Continue installing fasteners, spacing them every 2-5 holes as recommended.
Once your E-Track system is installed, you can start securing your cargo or other accessories with confidence, knowing that your goods will remain stable during transport.
