Roof Rock Rake

This professional-grade Roof Rock Rake is built for commercial and industrial roof maintenance. Its heavy-duty steel wire-frame design lets you move, spread, and level ballast rocks, gravel, and debris efficiently while protecting the roof membrane from punctures or tears. The wide triangular tines distribute pressure evenly across the surface, making it ideal for routine maintenance, prep, or repair work on ballasted roofing systems. Compatible with standard 1-1/4" diameter mop handles (handle not included).

Key Features:

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built to withstand demanding commercial jobsite use.
• Wide Triangular Tines: Evenly distribute pressure to prevent roof damage.
• Reinforced Bracing: Welded supports enhance durability for long-term use.
• Lightweight Design: Easier maneuverability and reduced fatigue during extended work.
• Multi-Roof Compatibility: Works with gravel, built-up, modified bitumen, and rubber roofs.
• Handle Compatibility: Fits standard 1-1/4" diameter mop handles (sold separately).

1. Attach a Handle: Secure the rake head to a standard 1¼" handle. Tighten to prevent wobbling.
2. Start from the Roof Edge: Work inward, pulling evenly across the ballast layer.
3. Use Light Pressure: Let the rake move the gravel—avoid pushing large piles at once.
4. Check Coverage: Inspect for thin or exposed membrane areas after leveling.
5. Clean After Use: Remove gravel dust and store indoors to prevent corrosion.

Pro Tip: For new ballast, aim for a consistent 1.5"–2" layer to prevent wind scour.

What does a roof rock rake do?
It spreads, levels, and moves ballast rocks used to weigh down roofing membranes on flat commercial roofs.

Can it damage the roof?
No—when used correctly, the rake’s tines distribute weight evenly to protect the membrane surface.

How often should ballast be leveled?
After major storms, roof repairs, or once a year during regular maintenance to prevent bare membrane exposure.

Can I use it on EPDM or TPO roofs?
Yes, as long as the roof is ballasted with gravel. It’s not intended for fully adhered or coated systems.

How should I store it?
Keep the rake dry and hang it vertically to prevent bent tines or rust.
