The company currently carries a line of galvanized steel E-track, as well as green painted styles which will eventually be phased out. Matt Mitchell, US Cargo Control’s merchandise category manager, says the new gray painted line was brought in via requests from customers wanting a more neutral-colored painted style.

“E-track is versatile in industries ranging from small delivery vans to full-sized van trailers,” said Mitchell. “We are constantly updating our selection to make sure we have something for everyone, whether it’s a consumer wanting to transport a motorcycle, or one of our business-to-business customers wishing to create a full tie down system to secure cargo in a fleet of van trailers.”
Both horizontal and vertical styles are available, with various lengths offered ranging from short, 2 ft. track to long 10 ft. track to serve US Cargo Control’s customer base.
