Grater Blade Rails

Grater Blade Rails

• common addition in snowy areas
• keep the snow plow or road graders blades from hooking the cattle guard as they go over the grid. 

These pay for themselves quickly if your grid is to sit on a county road where the plows drive 40 miles and hour to clean 300 miles of road in an 8 hour period. They may also be worth the investment for grids on roads with frequent road grating. The hope is that graters would see the large, bright, cattle guard and lift the blade, and snow plowing is the main risk factor for damage.
