DC Cargo Mall E-Track Plate Installation Kit 8-Pack — Zinc-Plated 6 x 6.5in Backing Plates with Bolts for Secure Rail Mounting

DC Cargo Mall Ultra Secure E-Track Plate Installation Kit is an 8‑pack of zinc‑plated steel backing plates with matching bolts, nuts, and washers designed to reinforce and permanently secure standard E‑Track rails.

If you fit E‑Track rails in a trailer, van, or workshop wall, the right hardware makes the installation more reliable and long‑lasting. This kit includes eight 6" × 6.5" steel plates, plus 32 pieces of fasteners sized to work with typical E‑Track hole spacing. The zinc plating resists corrosion, and the plate layout gives installers flexible attachment points for both conventional E‑Track positions and a few nonstandard mounting needs.

How does this kit improve E‑Track stability?

Adding backing plates spreads load across a larger surface behind the rail, which reduces stress on the mounting surface and on individual fastener holes. The thicker steel and properly sized bolts keep the rail from flexing or shifting under dynamic loads, so tiedowns and cargo anchors remain secure.

• Eight 6" × 6.5" zinc‑plated steel backing plates for even load distribution.
• 32 bolts, hex nuts, and flat washers sized for standard E‑Track hole patterns.
• Plates designed to skip a center rail hole and align with common on‑center spacing.

What surfaces and thicknesses will these bolts and plates work with?

The kit’s 2" long, 7/16" diameter hex bolts provide enough thread engagement for many common mounting surfaces. Accounting for plate and hardware thickness, they accommodate up to roughly 1‑3/8" of material, making them suitable for wood and metal substructures used in trailers and cargo vans.

• 2" long, 7/16" diameter hex bolts for deep thread engagement.
• Compatible with wood decks, plywood substrates, and metal wall or floor framing.
• Zinc plating reduces corrosion where moisture or road salt is present.

Will these plates fit every E‑Track brand and layout?

The plates are built to match standard universal E‑Track spacing with bolt holes arranged to align with rail holes placed 2" on‑center. Additional holes on the plate provide flexibility for some alternate rail positions or custom installations. While they suit most common rails, always compare measurements before installation for nonstandard tracks.

• Designed for universal E‑Track rails with standard 2" on‑center hole spacing.
• Plate holes set 4" on‑center across both sides to match common rail slots.
• Extra drill-friendly holes let you adapt the plate for unusual mounting configurations.

How does zinc plating help in real‑world use?

Zinc plating creates a protective barrier that slows rust and corrosion where the kit meets road moisture, salt, or humid environments. That preserves the finish and functional strength of the backing plates and fasteners, extending useful life compared with bare steel hardware.

• Zinc finish improves resistance to rust and corrosion in damp or coastal conditions.
• Durable surface protection keeps threads and plate edges functional longer.
• Suitable for indoor garage use and frequently wet outdoor applications.

Who is this for: This DC Cargo Mall kit is for professional installers, fleet managers, DIY van converters, and anyone who wants added security and longevity for E‑Track installations. If you transport heavy or shifting loads, retrofit older rails, or simply prefer hardware that reduces movement and wear, this complete 8‑plate set with matching bolts and hardware gives a straightforward, durable upgrade for most standard E‑Track systems.
