Z-TRAK is designed to be simple and DIY-friendly—basic install takes less than 15 minutes, and more advanced Plus Nut install usually only takes about an hour.
What to expect:
- Basic tools (drill + bit)
- No special skills required
- Step-by-step instructions included
Mounting options:
- Self-tapping screws → great basic option for steel beds, not ideal for aluminum or composite beds. Tested up to 1000 lbs in steel beds
- Plus Nut kit → ideal for aluminum or composite beds and the strongest possible install for all kinds of beds
👉 Bottom line:
If you can use a drill, you can install Z-TRAK.
Or have a shop do it quickly if you prefer.
