It's funny! I'm planning my own Cargo conversion. I watched another video where the owner built his shelf using "L" brackets. It's funny because last night I'm wondering about using e tracks and how to do it, and here you are! Thanks man! Another great idea!
Appreciate your video. I just bought a 7x14 enclosed trailer with extended height. I put 2 strips of E track down the sides, and now with your video I am going to put 2 shelves up front using the single e track and 2x4 e track brackets like in your video. I buy storage units so having the 2 shelves will give me storage for all my packing supplies and handling items. Thanks again, Tim in Kentucky
Dude! You read my mind three years into the future! This is exactly what I was looking to add to my trailer. Just wasn't sure how to go about it. Being the moron that I am, I never though to look for the "single" E-Track piece. Thanks for posting this.
Now that's how to make a DIY video! Precise and to the point with fantastic and clever ideas on how to make the shelves. My wife has been wanting me to make floating shelves for her for a long time and now I know how to. Thanks so much for posting this video. 2:41
I plan on a very similar nose using vertical e-track basically where you have single pcs and horizontal. I'd like to bring it out to side door and make it so whole shelf can be moved up near ceiling if needed and make cushions for to use as couch or bed too. I'd hide spare and related stuff on floor underneath most likely. Nice though!
Would it be easy to adjust the height of the surface (for ex.) by removing it and then refitting it in to identical e-track hardware mounted higher/lower? Enjoyed this, thanks!
Thank you. Would never have thought to use e track the way you did. Makes a lot of sense. Is that the painted grey e track? How's the paint holding up on it?
Hadn't had any issues with paint, but they're in a "permanent use" setup, if I was continually taking e track accessories in and out I'm sure the paint would wear out over time
Walls are paper thin wood.....only true "structure" is the narrow flange on each side of the steel frame....these trailers are a step above a tarp. If you want to do it right...get rid of luan..Insulate with foam between steel.....sheet with 5/8" ply.

@@artsolis5091 I used a different brand of etrack, so I measured the bottom of the etrack opening. If you use the same brand the bottom plate would be fine! You could use a 2x4 as a spacer also to ensure you have the same distance between them
@@shenaniganswoodworking3678 oh no problem I have been a carpenter for 23 years but I think a carpenter trailer looks tacky built out of wood lol bit the front of a v nose has to be I had a snub nose before I used light steel
I used E-track, you can get single slot E track on amazon or you can get sections of it anywhere, even at harbor freight. I also used the e-track board holders (I got mine on amazon) and a couple 2x4s and some plywood for the shelf.
@@shenaniganswoodworking3678 I can't seem to locate the silver bracket that you screwed in the nose that the 2x4 bracket clips into. What is that called?
I wish I had seen this comment before, I apologize! We recently moved to a new house (Aug 15) and had stacked boxes of stuff underneath the shelf as well as on the shelf all the way up to the ceiling. If I had seen your comment in would have weighed all the items I placed on it! We moved to the mountains in Virginia and the trailer pulled great with no issues with the shelf! I also get on the shelf and I weigh 130.. so I feel confident that itll do well with 135lbs =)
Probably because you can't anchor the Simpson hangers into the small studs behind the thin plywood walls of the cargo trailer, like you can with the e-track.
nice, clean, simple and durable young man....thank you for helping me get started on mine

Well done. Thanks for sharing that!
Looks great, I'm picking up a 6×12 v nose. This is perfect
I'm building this shelf in my trailer this week. Thanks!
You have a nice changing table there
Looks good my guy

We’re all here to figure out how to cut those angels lol you skipped the important part. Nice table tho
Cardboard template. Good Pro tip. 👍🏼
LOVE THIS TUTE!!! 😁 2:52
Nice job.
Very nice

Enjoyed this, thanks!
Thanks!
Ours works great
nice!
Did you ever finish the cabinets in this?
I checked a lot of e-books with woodworking plans. Instructions from woodprix are the best I think.
Nice
NICE THANKS...
Is the shelf removable ?

Thats really nice.
Did you finish the cabinet system for v nose? Would like to see how you did it. Thanks
Hi Brandon,
I did not. We ended up moving to a new place and never got the time to build the cabinets. I have since sold the trailer
Is it able to be easily removed?
self-tapping screws are for metals, you want wood screws to go into any wood and studs
There is metal studs behind the wood walls, that is why you use self tapping screws
Walls are paper thin wood.....only true "structure" is the narrow flange on each side of the steel frame....these trailers are a step above a tarp. If you want to do it right...get rid of luan..Insulate with foam between steel.....sheet with 5/8" ply.
but what size trailer is that
Great video, how high did you mount the shelf?
Hey if I was too install one of these higher on the tracks is it possible to line it up?
Of course why not just measure right
Can you remove table when it’s on e track slots without disassembling it ?
I don't think so since you have to rotate the e-track brackets to get them out.

Awesome job! How did you measure the placement of the single e-track for the v-section?
I measured up front the floor to the bottom of the existing e track and used that measurement to screw the new etrack into the v-nose studs
@@shenaniganswoodworking3678 thank you! Did you place the bottom single track at the same height as the bottom existing e track?

@@shenaniganswoodworking3678 1000 thanks!
We're did u find the 2x4 holds that just screw into plywood I don't want to use Simpson ties looks tacky
The 2x4 holders are actually an E-track accessory, attached to a single slot etrack piece.
@@shenaniganswoodworking3678 I honestly just figure that out after I commented and zoomed in on your project thank you for the reply
@@winteromara7702 no problem, good luck on your project!

What’s screws do you use to drill the 2x4 into the board holder ?
Can you please send me all the Material for a job. I have a 6x12 v nose that need shelves like this old

why didn't u just get simpson hangers and save a ton of $$$$$
Probably because you can't anchor the Simpson hangers into the small studs behind the thin plywood walls of the cargo trailer, like you can with the e-track.
It's NOT Easily removed. Skip the e-trac.
