A track fitting for securing a structure to a track, the track having an open-top channel defined by two inwardly directed lips and two undercuts to either side of the open-top channel, the track fitting comprising at least one flange member having a flange portion that depends at an angle from a connecting portion, and at least one fastener for connecting the connecting portion to the structure, wherein the connecting portion is a levering portion configured to lever the flange portion into engagement with at least one of an underside of at least one of the two inwardly directed lips and an outside face of at least one of the two undercuts as the fastener secures the levering portion to the structure outside of the open-top channel, whereby the flange member is pre-loaded to provide a clamping force to resist movement of the structure relative to the track.
