An equipment mounting system, comprising: a quick mount track for coupling to a surface, comprising: a backing plate having a first plate edge, a second plate edge, a first outer slot, and a second outer slot, wherein the first plate edge, the second plate edge, the first outer slot, and the second outer slot are all substantially parallel to each other and run a length of the backing plate, and the first plate edge and the second plate edge define an outermost part of the backing plate along the length of the backing plate; one or more mounting points positioned within the first outer slot and the second outer slot a plurality of diamond contoured target regions spaced in the first outer slot and the second outer slot; and a plurality of half diamond contoured regions along a common edge, the common edge is substantially orthogonal to the first plate edge (3611 and the second plate edge, characterised in that: the backing plate comprises a plurality of locking pin apertures provided between the first outer slot and the second outer slot, each of the locking pin apertures are in alignment with a respective one of the plurality of diamond contoured target regions from each of the first outer slot and the second outer slot, the alignment being perpendicular to the first and second outer slots (20, 30) such that any forces exerted on a mount (47, 48, 50, 3500, 3700, 3800, 3850, 3900) coupled to the quick mount track are transferred directly through the quick mount track to the one or more mounting points due to each of the locking pin apertures positioning mounting studs of the mount directly over the top of the one or more mounting points. a quick mount track for coupling to a surface, comprising: a backing plate having a first plate edge, a second plate edge, a first outer slot, and a second outer slot, wherein the first plate edge, the second plate edge, the first outer slot, and the second outer slot are all substantially parallel to each other and run a length of the backing plate, and the first plate edge and the second plate edge define an outermost part of the backing plate along the length of the backing plate; one or more mounting points positioned within the first outer slot and the second outer slot a plurality of diamond contoured target regions spaced in the first outer slot and the second outer slot; and a plurality of half diamond contoured regions along a common edge, the common edge is substantially orthogonal to the first plate edge (3611 and the second plate edge, characterised in that: the backing plate comprises a plurality of locking pin apertures provided between the first outer slot and the second outer slot, each of the locking pin apertures are in alignment with a respective one of the plurality of diamond contoured target regions from each of the first outer slot and the second outer slot, the alignment being perpendicular to the first and second outer slots (20, 30) such that any forces exerted on a mount (47, 48, 50, 3500, 3700, 3800, 3850, 3900) coupled to the quick mount track are transferred directly through the quick mount track to the one or more mounting points due to each of the locking pin apertures positioning mounting studs of the mount directly over the top of the one or more mounting points. a backing plate having a first plate edge, a second plate edge, a first outer slot, and a second outer slot, wherein the first plate edge, the second plate edge, the first outer slot, and the second outer slot are all substantially parallel to each other and run a length of the backing plate, and the first plate edge and the second plate edge define an outermost part of the backing plate along the length of the backing plate; one or more mounting points positioned within the first outer slot and the second outer slot a plurality of diamond contoured target regions spaced in the first outer slot and the second outer slot; and a plurality of half diamond contoured regions along a common edge, the common edge is substantially orthogonal to the first plate edge (3611 and the second plate edge, characterised in that: the backing plate comprises a plurality of locking pin apertures provided between the first outer slot and the second outer slot, each of the locking pin apertures are in alignment with a respective one of the plurality of diamond contoured target regions from each of the first outer slot and the second outer slot, the alignment being perpendicular to the first and second outer slots (20, 30) such that any forces exerted on a mount (47, 48, 50, 3500, 3700, 3800, 3850, 3900) coupled to the quick mount track are transferred directly through the quick mount track to the one or more mounting points due to each of the locking pin apertures positioning mounting studs of the mount directly over the top of the one or more mounting points.
