Special Track Designs & Options
We appreciate that ground conditions, customer preferences and general limitations of use may require a slightly different product from standard. We therefore offer to customise our existing track products to suit customer requirements or, where viable, will consider the design and manufacture of a specialist track.
Standard Options (specified at time of order)
Extra Track Plate Width
It is often possible for us to increase the overall width of the track by simply increasing the length of the track plate during manufacture. We therefore offer the following track plate options:-
- Extra width of track - extended both sides
- Extra width of track - extended more on one side than the other. (Often done where there is little clearance between machine bodywork and tyre side-wall)
- Extended width of track - with folded down track plate ends (not always possible)
Anti-Skid Spike
Anti-Skid spikes are designed to stop the machine sliding sideways when crossing side slopes. They are normally between 40mm and 50mm in height, positioned approximately 150mm in from the side of the track, one spike per plate alternating left and right from track plate to track plate. We can offer the following
Anti-Skid spike options:-
- No spikes at all.
- Two spikes per plate (one each side)
- Higher or lower height spikes
- Spikes welded to different position on track plate (further details)
24mm Link System on Tracks for small machines
Where there is sufficient clearance between tyre side wall and machine bodywork, it is possible to offer tracks for smaller machines with the larger 24mm link system. The advantages are a longer track life and less track tensioning required. (Track plates would be spaced apart wider and would require greater track to machine clearance).
