Did you mount this into the trailer frame, into the plywood floor or with bolts thru the floor?

Drilled goles through plywood and bolted it down. Works great and very secure.

I fist installed and bolted 2X6X8 foot treated lumber onto my trailer frame. Once this was completed I stained the lumber and let dry for a few days. I then mounted the TMS SN0301-3 to the lumber and front of the trailer frame. Works great, and makes the trailer versatile.

I bolted to the floor which consist of 1 5/8 planks. Works great, held my Harley steady during our trip.

My trailer has impregnated deck type wood as a floor and I used long bolts through the wood with extra large diameter thick washers underneath.It works incredibly well and everyone that physically sees it wants to know where I got the trailer from with the bike supports already in it.

I didn't use mine as a trailer mount, although I did mount it to a piece of plywood that is just a bit longer than the length of the bike to where I have it in my shop and drive up on the plywood and then into the Wheel Chock Bike Stand Mount. It definitely needs to be mounted to something, so if you are installing it in a trailer, it just needs to be attached to something that will hold it in place and support the load of the bike that it supports.

I drilled holes into the floor, inserted threaded sleeves that lay flush and then bolt the rack when needed. Be sure to use tie down straps and compress the front forks as far as possible. I didn't do this enough once and my bike broke loose and damaged my wife's tank with my handlebars.

I used a sheetrock hand saw to cut the hole. I cut it from the attic side so I could get the mounting right.

I bolt my straight to my ranger commache trailer with the bracket that is welded straight to the trailer.

Yes, I bolted mine to the floor. I had to get a bolt made for concrete since my house is on a slab.

It already has hole drilled into it. I suppose you could anchor it to a concrete floor if you drilled and put anchor bolts in the floor. I just through bolted it to a long 2 by 12 and use it outside with the 2 by 12 running perpendicular to the bar like a T. I have another one for inside that just fits inside 2 or 3 45lb olympic weights. much easier for inside and no drilling.

There are 2 plastic hold down brackets with 2 screws in each bracket. The strap would run through both brackets at the base of the box. Works good on floors, don't know about trailers though!

We anchored the frame to a treated-lumber perimeter base, and it is very stable! We used thick concrete "pavers" for the floor.

I used the velcro tape. I didnt want to have any holes in my floor. My truck is older so I didnt want to chance it.

We were placing into plywood but used standard deck screws. Out of all the holds there was only one hole that was drilled a little funky and made it tight to get the screw in.

Yes to both. I mounted mine on a box trailer(I haul a track car) up through the floor rather than through the metal wall. No rain can get to it but road spray has never been an issue and I have hauled through some hard rains around the SE. Just use the foam piece and maybe solid bead of caulk and you should be good.

Yes it comes with the plywood floor. All you have to assemble is the side rails and those just get attached. I have one of these in all my trucks

It is your choice where to install. There are no pre-drilled holes. Mine was outed on the trailer tongue.

I believe so, the bottom plate has a hole in it so if the top recessed piece is deeper than your floor is thick it should just fit through the bottom plate. My trailer has 3/4' decking and so this was not a problem for me

I just put it in my compartment in front. or lay it in my truck bed when wet. I have scene it attach to front rails and rear bumper. really depends on your trailer and preference

I just drill out the holes in the bottom where it appears a leg should be and bolted it down that way. This may not be right, but it worked.

I made a 3/8" plywood plate and mounted that to the wall. Then muunted the unit to it. Without a plate I would use toggles to mount it to plain drywall.

I believe my contractor mounted it using the included hardware. That part was not at all difficult. Even if I'm wrong, it was nothing more than a couple lag bolts if I remember correctly. Easy to pick up at the hardware store if they were not included.
