rakers

Autumn yard workers

Rakers is the plural of raker—one who rakes, or a tool used for raking.

In construction, rakers are diagonal braces that support formwork or shoring, angled to resist lateral pressure.

In firefighting, a raker is a tool for pulling debris.

The term also appears in sawmill work, where raker teeth on a blade clear sawdust from the cut.
