TRACK MAINTANENCE EQUIPMENT

"East End Engineering's Track Conditioners and Graders are designed to deliver the ideal balance of cushioning, traction and consistency across harness racing surfaces. By eliminating ruts, relieving compaction and maintaining an even racing profile, these machines help protect horses from unnecessary concussion and limb stress while promoting safer, more predictable footing. The result is improved horse welfare, greater confidence for trainers and drivers, and a racing surface that supports both performance and safety every time a horse steps onto the track.

The track conditioner originally developed by East End Engineering founder Graeme Maher became widely adopted throughout Victorian harness racing because of its ability to restore optimum track cushioning and consistency, contributing to safer racing and training environments for Standardbred horses.
