Rattle Grate® Trackout Device
Rattle Grate® is our heavy duty trackout device, built for job sites where standard bars just can’t keep up. If your crew is fighting clay, thick mud, or high volume debris at the exit, this is the step up solution that handles it.
You may also hear it called a rumble grate. Rattle Grate® allows more sediment deposit than Rattle Track®. The aggressive design knocks more material off tires per pass, so mud and debris stay on the job site instead of ending up on the street.
When to Use Rattle Grate® Instead of Rattle Track®
Rattle Track® handles most job sites fine. But when the mud gets aggressive, regular bars can get packed solid and stop doing their job. That’s when you step up to Rattle Grate®.
