When it comes to securing cargo in enclosed trailers, E-track straps are the gold standard. These heavy-duty tie-down solutions work seamlessly with E-track rails, providing unmatched stability and safety for transporting goods. Whether you're hauling heavy machinery, vehicles, or delicate furniture, choosing the right E-track strap is crucial.
In this guide, we’ll compare the four main types of E-track tie-down straps—ratchet straps, cam buckle straps, J-hook ratchet straps, and rope tie-offs—and explain their unique benefits.
What are E-Track Straps?
E-Track straps are specialized tie-downs designed to work with E-Track systems—horizontal or vertical rails with slots that are installed in trailers, cargo vans, and trucks. These straps feature end fittings that snap securely into the E-Track, providing adjustable, heavy-duty anchoring for cargo.

2" E-Track Ratchet Tie Down Straps
When to Use Ratchet Straps:
✅ Transporting vehicles (cars, motorcycles, UTVs) – Prevents movement

2" E-Track Cam Buckle Straps
When to Use Cam Buckle Straps:
✅ Moving household items (couches, mattresses, boxes)
✅ Fragile cargo (glass, electronics – avoids over-tightening)
✅ Quick loading/unloading (no ratcheting needed)
✅ Short-distance trips (less tension required)
\Why Choose Cam Buckle Straps?
- ✔ Quick and easy operation – No ratcheting needed; simply pull and lock.
- ✔ Gentle on cargo – Perfect for fragile items that don’t require extreme tension.
- ✔ Lightweight and portable – Great for everyday hauling in cargo vans and trailers.
2" Logistic E-Track Ratchet Straps With J Hook
When to J-Hook Straps:
✅ Trailers with E-track AND D-rings (flexible attachment)
✅ Odd-shaped cargo (combines E-track + chain/anchor points)
✅ Towing equipment (ATVs, lawnmowers with mixed tie-downs)
Why Choose J-Hook Ratchet Straps?
- ✔ Dual functionality – Works with E-track rails and traditional anchor points.
- ✔ Secure attachment – The J-hook provides extra grip on D-rings and other tie-down points.
- ✔ Ideal for mixed loads – Perfect for securing a variety of cargo types in enclosed trailers.
E-Track Rope Tie-Offs (Anchor Extensions)
E-Track rope tie-offs are small D-ring anchors that snap into E-Track rails. They’re used for Adding extra tie-down points. When standard straps aren’t enough, these Rope Tie Offs are perfect for Securing tarps, nets, or bungees to prevents flapping as well as creating Custom cargo configurations for oddly shaped loads.
