ClarkWestern Building Systems is proud to bring you this innovative labor saving system that reduces the number of framing components required to frame a head-of-wall deflection track system.
Performance that stands up to deflection.
For superior head-of-wall vertical deflection, and the added benefit of horizontal drift movement, ClarkWestern introduces two solutions—MaxTrak™ Slotted Deflection Track and MaxTrak™ 2D Slotted Deflection & Drift Track. The MaxTrak 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 also has slots in the web to allow for horizontal drift when seismic designs are required.

Construction Advantages:
- Provides positive attachment to wall framing for overall wall strength with no additional components
- Total allowable vertical (deflection) movement of 1-1/2" (3/4"±)
- Total allowable horizontal (drift) movement of 4" (2"±) (MaxTrak 2D only)
- One-piece system reduces the cost of materials and labor
- Easy installation reduces labor costs
- Fire-rated system integrates with a variety of UL® head-of-wall fire stop systems
- MaxTrak meets IAPMO #0145 Evaluation Report
- Can be used for both interior non-load bearing walls and exterior curtain wall systems
- Guideline at center of vertical deflection slot helps installers correctly position fasteners accurately and quickly
