How To Maximise The Life of Your Undercarriage
01
Choose the right undercarriage for your application
Cat® undercarriage is designed to work and wear as a system to help make it last with correct operation and maintenance. Whether you need maximum durability for demanding terrain, or operate in low to moderate impact applications, choosing the right undercarriage will maximise uptime and performance.
02
Maintain optimum track tension
Tight tracks create excess stress throughout the undercarriage, increasing wear on bushings, sprockets, links, and idlers. Follow the tension-adjusting procedures in your machine’s owner’s manual or consult your Cat dealer.
03
Run the right shoe width for the conditions
The extra flotation of the wide shoes used for muddy conditions can actually increase wear and strain on links, pins, and bushings when used in high impact conditions.
04
Prepare machines for underfoot conditions
You can equip the machine to handle the soil conditions of a specific environment. Use center-punched shoes and optimize guarding in muddy conditions to reduce packing and the increased tension and wear it causes. Use extreme service shoes and carrier rollers for abrasive conditions.
