My box link cleats are a PITA to install. The key won't turn all the way on one of them. The others are very difficult to get the key to turn all the way. The e-track cleat or strap may be a lot easier.
Dale, thanks for the pictures showing e-track working in the box link.

I have not looked at these in detail yet but was wondering about the strength issue also. Based on appearance I would hesitate to tie down anything heavy as the attachment screws do not look to be attached to anything solid. The traditional corner tie down locations are very strong and dependable.

Agreed! I have E-track in my enclosed trailer, both on the floor and on the walls. You can get all sorts of gadgets to fit that system. Hooks, brackets, etc.
