 You saw it at the Golf Industry Show 2011 in Orlando or in the TurfNet.com blog coverage of the show. The Shake'n Rake is the only tool designed to power-sift debris from bunker sand.
The Shake 'n Rake utilizes an integral reciprocating motor to provide a powered up-and-down (shaking) motion to mimic manual lofting of the sand — while trapping pebbles, gravel, pine needles, pine cones and other contaminants on top of the screen. It increases the lofting rate to up to 30 times per second. The task of moving damp sand through a screen can now be accomplished without any manual agitation by the user at all, so user fatigue is eliminated and productivity greatly increases!
Available in both manual and lithium-ion battery powered configurations, the Shake ‘n Rake sifts through a rake-full of wet sand in seconds. It easily removes contaminants from low areas or along green sides where pebbles could get splashed up onto a green surface and cause mower damage.
The Shake 'n Rake is intended for regular bunker maintenance and is not for complete bunker rebuilding or screening huge amounts of sand.
 No training is required, no fuel is needed and no extra utility vehicles are needed during the screening process. It completely eliminates manual shaking and sifting, and can be used all day long by the operator – on one charge of the battery.
Equi-Tee Shake 'n Rakes are shaped higher on the sides to keep debris from falling off the edges. Our baskets hold much more than cheaply made competitors rakes so you have fewer trips to the debris cart.
The motorized Shake 'n Rake is priced at $299, including the lithium-ion battery and recharger. They come standard with 1/4" screen size to capture small debris in dry sand or can be ordered with an optional 3/8" screen for damp conditions.
