MaxTrak® 2D-XL Slotted Deflection and Drift TrackNew

Performance that stands up to deflection and drift

For superior head-of-wall vertical deflection, and the added benefit of horizontal drift, ClarkDietrich has your answer.

Quick Actions:

For head-of-wall connections with vertical deflection, and increased horizontal drift, ClarkDietrich introduces the MaxTrak® 2D-XL Slotted Deflection & Drift Track. The MaxTrak 2D-XL System allows the top of the wall stud to float within the track legs. This connection allows for vertical live load movement of the primary structure without transferring axial loads to the wall studs. In addition, MaxTrak 2D-XL also has slots in the web to allow for horizontal drift when required by seismic designs.

Construction Advantages:

  • Provides positive attachment to wall framing for overall wall strength with no additional components
  • MaxTrak 2D-XL is available with offset or inline drift slots.
