My brother and I rebuilt a trailer some time ago. We took an old track and cut it so it would lay flat. We through bolted some open hooks in one end that attached to welded eyelets on the very back of the trailer. Loading was super easy as you always had a traction mat to allow the sled to climb effortlessly up the trailer. Just throw the track on the ground and attach the hooks.
We had a 2 place tip up trailer. On the centers we screwed down some thick rubber mats my brother got on a job site. Both our sleds were studded and this worked awesome.

 

Thanks NHTundra. How did you cut it so it would lay flat? Dremel tool?

 

I think it was just a good size pair of shears that we used.

 

I used a hacksaw to cut the track. It cuts through the track quite easily.

The track will just lay flat. I cut the 121" track I had 3 times to get three pieces of equal length track and then just used nuts and bolts to thru-bolt the track to my deck and that was it.

 

I like the hacksaw idea for any small cuts but I would use a circular saw with an old blade if I was cutting the length of the track into strips.

I've also used my table saw.

Ahh the smell of burnt running lingering in the shop on nice Sunday morning...

 

Smells like---VICTORY.

I used an oscillating tool to cut the inside driver nubs off so that it laid down flat on my trailer ramps. I think I used a saw-z-all to cut the track into the lengths I needed. Then just screwed them down with 1" RGK tek screws.
