ACCESSORIES

FLOOR TRACK

  • Forms a 1” wide x 1.5” deep groove in the center of the alley.
  • Strong, so it does not wear out, and straight : the double tee profile is extremely rigid and the ¼” thick steel will last.
  • Cables operating in a steel track enjoy substantially longer life than cables running on concrete floors.
  • The steel floor of the track is much less abrasive than concrete floors, resulting in less cable wear.
  • The groove also protects the cable from damage by skidsteer loaders or other equipment that may drive in the alley to replenish bedding, and animals are not endangered by sharp cable strands found on worn steel (or stainless steel) cables.
