MaxTrak® Slotted Deflection Track

MaxTrak® Slotted Deflection Track and MaxTrak 2D Slotted Deflection & Drift Track let the top of a stud float within the track legs, absorbing primary-structure live-load movement without transferring axial load into the wall studs. MaxTrak 2D adds web slots for horizontal seismic drift.

Worth knowing before you specify

MaxTrak is ordered by leg height and structural / non-structural line rather than by a per-width member code — ClarkDietrich publishes one submittal sheet per configuration, covering every stud width it is rolled for. Pick your wall's web width in the order panel.
