E track on roof of sprinter?

[dc843]

Is there any reason i couldnt do this? My idea is so i can use two of the e track load locks run them vertically to seriously block the cargo from sliding forward.

I think if you bolted e track to the floor, you would get better results. I have mine bolted to the underbody and my freight doesn’t slide side to side or front to back. Needless to say I have a 2x6 inserted into the e track holders to brace freight from moving forward. Never had a problem doing it this way.

I plan on bolting it to the floor too. So its parallel with the ones on the roof.

I know its kind of overkill. Im just wondering if the roof will be able to support something like that

I wouldn’t want to try it. I could see the roof being pulled down if freight decided to move when you had to make an emergency stop.

Floor and walls only never ever use the roof.

I'm not sure I'd even use the ceiling. The roof? Not a chance.

I do know the (ceiling) roof is not for load strapping/bearing items. No fun to void your warranty.

Could maybe cause you to have roof leaks as well?
