Forest Machine Track Customisation

All you need to know about our customisation options

Customised Options

At Clark Tracks, we offer a wide range of products designed to suit various ground conditions, working environments, and machine types.

To help fine-tune performance, we provide customisation options on our existing track products. Depending on the track model, these may include variations in plate widths and spiking configurations to better match your specific requirements.

If you're unsure which track is best suited to your application, our team is happy to help guide you through the available options.

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:

  1. Extended both sides
  2. Extended more on one side than the other. Often done where there is little clearance between machine bodywork and tyre side wall
  3. Folded down track plate ends. It should be noted that this is not always possible.

Extra width options are limited by track model and tooling constraints. Please email Clark Tracks technical department to discuss options and availability.

Clark Tracks technical department can advise on options and possibilities.

Anti-Skid Spike

Anti-Skid spikes are designed to stop the forest machine sliding sideways when crossing side slopes. They are normally between 40mm and 50mm in height, depending on track model, one spike per plate alternating left and right from track plate to track plate.

Spikes are available in a range of sizes for welding to forest tracks. Manufactured from heat treated boron alloy steel which is easily welded, these spikes combine hardness with strength.

Welding instructions are available here.

Depending on track model and expected usage, the following options may be available.

  1. No spikes at all - for level ground and forest roads.
  2. Two spikes per plate (one each side)
    - 2A (1+1 Standard Spikes)
    - 2B (2+2 Double Spikes)
    - 2C (2+2 Alternating Traction Upgrade)
  3. Higher and lower height spikes (40mm, 50mm and 60mm in stock)
  4. Spikes welded to different position on track plate
  5. Paddle Spikes – 100mm wide by 50mm high – for ultimate climbing
  6. Road Spike – where the spike is at the outside of the plate, above the link.
