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.
Also known as 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 — clay-heavy soil, constant wet conditions, or extremely high truck volume — regular bars can get packed solid and stop doing their job. That’s when you step up to Rattle Grate®.
Rattle Grate® is built for:
- Quarries and landfills/scrap yards — heavy material, constant vehicle traffic
- Aggregate job sites with clay — where standard trackout devices get overwhelmed
- Plants and mud-heavy environments — anywhere debris volume is a daily problem, not an occasional one

Built for Compliance
Like Rattle Track®, Rattle Grate® helps your site meet SWPPP, NPDES, and AQMD Rule 403 requirements for PM10 dust abatement and trackout control — but with the extra capacity needed for the toughest conditions. If your current setup isn’t holding up to inspection standards because the mud is winning, this is the fix. If you’re dealing with a trench or open excavation on the same site, Street Plates may also be worth adding to your setup.
