Trailers in the Fleet have 2 kinds of Logistic Track? These Straps Work in Both E & F Tracks

Posted by Ken Webb on November 30, 2016

A very good customer phoned last week, frustrated their E Track straps weren't fitting all of the sudden. Turns out that some trailers they'd leased for the Holidays have logistic wall posts with Round Holes (F Track) instead of the more common Rectangular opening (E Track).

RatchetStrap.com sells R16EW's to accommodate both types of Logistic Track, they are 2" x 16 ft. Ratchet Straps for Vans, that have Standard Spring...

Curtain Side Box Trucks are Prevalent in Europe - This is the Inside!

Posted by Ken Webb on October 29, 2016

Curtain side box trucks are prevalent in Europe and are close cousins to small flatbed delivery trucks commonly seen in most US cities.
