{"product_id":"24-aluminum-l-track-anodized-finish","title":"24\" Aluminum L-Track | Anodized Finish","description":"\u003ch2\u003e24\" Anodized Aluminum L-Track\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBolt down a 24\" run of anodized aluminum L-track and you have a permanent row of anchor points you can reposition at will. Also sold as airline track or logistic track, the rail mounts once and then lets you move the tie-down wherever the load actually sits, instead of forcing every load to match a fixed D-ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe low, narrow section takes up less room than E-track, so it fits along bed rails, wheel wells, and trailer wall studs where a wider rail simply will not go. Riders anchor motorcycles and ATVs to it; crews use it for compact equipment, gang boxes, and loose material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Anodizing Buys You\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extrusion is 6061-T6 aluminum, which is light and corrosion resistant on its own. Anodizing goes further: the finish is grown into the surface of the metal rather than sprayed onto it, so there is no coating to chip or peel back from an edge. What you get is a harder face that shrugs off scuffs from loading and unloading, plus better tolerance for sun, road spray, and repeated washdowns than bare aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMounting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting holes are pre-drilled on 5\" centers, 6 in this piece, sized for 1\/4\", 6mm, or #12 hardware. A through-bolt with a nut and washer - plus a dab of thread locker - is the most dependable joint. Lag screws or self-drillers into wood or sheet metal will hold, but do not expect bolted-joint strength from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardware is sold separately - the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/airline-style-track-fastener-pack-1-1-2-bolts-w-nut-washer-10-pk\"\u003e1-1\/2\" bolt, nut, and washer pack\u003c\/a\u003e is the usual pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the length or hole spacing does not suit your layout, the rail cuts cleanly with a carbide-tipped blade in a hacksaw or chop saw, and you can add holes with a carbide countersink bit. Read the welding note below before you take any heat to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo Not Weld It As-Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave the anodizing on and this rail will not weld properly. The finish behaves as an insulator and contaminates the puddle, which leaves a weak and unpredictable joint. If your install genuinely calls for a weld, grind the anodizing off the weld zone and a margin around it first and weld to bare aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Much Will It Hold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not publish a single working load limit for the rail, because an installed track is only as strong as the fasteners you picked and the structure you anchored into. The extrusion is made to be at least as strong as the fittings and straps we sell to go with it, which puts the responsibility on the install. If you are unsure what your floor or wall will take, ask your trailer or vehicle manufacturer, and read WSTDA T-5, section 3.4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard L-track, flush or surface mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 holes, 5\" centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\", 6mm, or #12 fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinish the System\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack on its own does not secure anything.
