We have after market excavator tracks to fit all types of machines.
Please See The Rubber Track Section.
- Rubber Tracks are just that, made of rubber. They wear and are not meant to last indefinitely. If you are working on rough terrain (including sharp objects, rocks, fallen branches, demolition debris, curbs, or outdoor paved surfaces) the tracks will wear more quickly and you will be lucky to get more than 200 hours out of your new tracks. Operators should work with caution and be aware of terrain that will put more wear on your new tracks.
- Other than common wear and tear tracks should be checked often for material on the inside of the track. Dirt, mud, sand, twigs, rocks, or other debris can cause the track to develop cracks or tears which can lead to premature track failure.
- Properly tensioned tracks are a very important part to keeping your tracks in working order. Excessive tension may cause increased undercarriage wear or even cause the tracks to tear. Under-tensioning may cause your machine to de-track. De-tracking will cause rips, gashes and other damage to the inside of the track.
- If the machine is stored for extended periods of time it is important to rotate the tracks now and again to eliminate stretching, stressing or fatiguing the part of the track in contact with the sprocket, idler, or rollers. The extended stress to those contact points may cause small cracks or tears in the rubber of your tracks. These small defects may not necessitate replacement of your tracks immediately, but they will decrease rubber track lifespan. Small tears can turn into big problems over time.
