The most common types of rake attachments for earthmoving equipment are power rakes, rock rakes and harley rakes. Harley rakes are finesse tools used to prepare dirt surfaces for grading or seeding. Power rakes are used for site clearing and bulk material removal. Rock rakes are designed to pick up rocks quickly and efficiently to prepare a site for landscaping or site prep. Each rake attachment has its intended purpose and, when used together, make site preparation, grading and leveling as efficient as possible.

Ensure the rake attachment is at least wider than the machinery it is attached to in order to cover the equipment tracks. Another important consideration is the surface size your crew is working with. Choose a rake that covers as much ground as possible for large open areas. More confined jobsites often require something more compact and maneuverable. Should you require assistance choosing the best rake attachment for your needs, our representatives would be happy to help.
