TRAKLOC® Drywall Framing System
Telescopes in length to deal with variances during installation
TRAKLOC® allows you to order one length member and “adjust” the length accordingly to make up for variances in the slab. The two-piece TRAKLOC® Elevator Stud® member is compressed to accommodate stocking in a building elevator and then can be extended (telescoped) to the required length at point of installation.
Quick Actions:
A revolutionary development in cold-formed steel framing systems. Unlike traditional steel studs, which are cut to length for varying jobsite conditions, TRAKLOC allows you to order one length member and “adjust” the length accordingly to make up for variances in the slab. The TRAKLOC Stud consists of a traditional-style framing member. The adjustable portion allows for telescopic length adjustments and can accommodate variances in the slab, minor wall heights per floor, etc.

TRAKLOC® ELEVATOR STUD® (TLE)
The TRAKLOC Elevator stud member arrives in a compressed position to accommodate stocking in a building elevator and then can be extended (telescoped) to the required length at point of installation. This reduces the cost of stocking long studs on floors accessible only by elevators and stairways.

Web Depths: 2-1/2", 3-5/8", 4" and 6"
Flange Width: 1-1/4"
Lip Size: 0.288"
Material Thicknesses:
- 24mil (20EQ) 57ksi
- 30mil (20ga DW) 33ksi
- 33mil (20ga) 33ksi

Storage Requirements:
TRAKLOC is a dynamic system consisting of two moving parts. To maintain the telescoping feature of this system, it is important to store TRAKLOC studs indoors, free of excessive dust and airborne particulates.
Features and Benefits
TRAKLOC steel framing members come in standard widths of 2-1/2," 3-5/8", 4" and 6".
- Significant productivity gains are possible versus conventional stud and track framing. This results in substantial installed cost savings!
- Less cutting of studs significantly reduces material scrap and waste.
- Less noise, less steel shavings and improved air quality.
Limitations of Use
- TRAKLOC is designed for interior non-load-bearing walls only.
- Do not stack
