I painted mine with floor paint with a package of non slip additive mixed in from the hardware store.

It’s been 2-1/2 years and it still looks great, it’s dirty in this pic but the dirt washes right off.

I painted both of mine with garage floor paint. The vinyl floors get slick and they tear.

This how I installed mine.

Trailer winch 6-3-15 005.JPG
I did the same thing in my garage floor , except I welded the receiver hitch to a 18x18 plate ,

Winching rolling cars into a trailer isn’t a lot of stress .
It’s not like your pulling them out of a ditch or dragging cars with flat tires and stuck brakes .

Just put a chain/strap anchored to the forward most slot in the E-track. Hook the winch in the middle and pull.

If I saw wrong trailer and attributed to the OP - you can do the same with the forward most D-rings that are in most trailers I have seen.
aaaRGH so simple! i just spent the night rigging up a hand crank winch, bolting stuff to the floor. Kicker is, I was planning to add e-track anyways. Wish I'd though of this first. have you pulled a car in using this method? i would think you would have to reinforce the walls first.... thankfully I'm just hauling in 500-600 lb pcs of equipment.

I was assuming floor mounted e track but low down on the wall with at least 45deg sling angle should be ok if it rolls
