Quick Answers
The questions we hear most. Tap one to open it.
What if a bar on my Rattle Track® gets damaged?
You don’t need a whole new unit. The bars on a Rattle Track® can be replaced one at a time. Call the office and we’ll get you what you need.
How much coverage does my exit need?
Each Rattle Track® unit is 10′ wide and 8′ long. Run three together and you get a 24′ pad, enough for a semi tire to rotate about two and a half times before it hits the road. Rattle Grate® units are 8′ x 10′, and custom sizes are available. Tell us about your exit and we’ll help you size it.
Rattle Track® or Rattle Grate®?
Rattle Track® is the standard setup and works for most jobs. Rattle Grate® is for muddy, clay heavy sites where regular bars get packed solid. If your trucks keep tracking mud no matter what you try, that’s when to step up to the grate.
Can I rent instead of buy?
Yes. Renting makes sense for a short job or when you’re not sure how long you’ll need it. Buying usually wins if you’ve got several sites or know you’ll need it again. Call the office and we’ll walk you through both.
Does a trackout device cover all my compliance needs?
It covers the trackout piece, and inspectors know what it is. It doesn’t replace the rest of your BMPs though, so keep your other controls and paperwork in order.
Avoiding Enforcement Actions
Mud on a public street is one of the biggest sources of complaints about a construction site, and complaints bring regulators. Keeping the construction entrance stabilized and clean is an ongoing job, but it pays off by showing you run a tidy site.
Here are the issues that tend to draw regulators’ attention.
- Inadequate documentation
- A weak mix of erosion and sediment control measures
- Tracking offsiteThe one the public can see
- Trash and debris onsite
- Poorly managed washouts for concrete, paint, and stucco
- Poorly placed and managed portable toilets
- Inadequate BMP maintenance
What documentation problems look like
Usually it’s a SWPPP or ESCP that isn’t current, inspections and repairs nobody wrote down, or training that wasn’t recorded.
Of everything on that list, tracking offsite is the one the public can see. Rattle Track® and Rattle Grate® knock dirt off tires before trucks reach the street. Rules like South Coast AQMD Rule 403 and the EPA’s construction stormwater requirements put the responsibility on your site. Our guide to what trackout is and how trackout control devices work breaks it down in plain English.
