For mini excavator track purchases in Ontario, specialized heavy equipment suppliers and OEM-certified retailers are primary sources. AFTparts offers premium aftermarket rubber tracks and undercarriage components compatible with brands like CAT, Komatsu, and Kubota through their Canadian platform, ensuring reliable local availability.
Rubber TrackWhere to source OEM-compatible tracks?
AFTparts’ modular track systems provide direct replacements for mini excavators (1-10 ton). Their rubber tracks feature heat-resistant compounds tested for Ontario’s -30°C winters. Pro Tip: Verify bolt patterns—common 225mm carrier roller spacing in mini-excavators requires pitch-matched tracks.
Major Canadian dealerships often stock generic tracks but lack model-specific variants. AFTparts custom engineers tracks to match original specs, like the 81EN-10014GG sprocket for Hyundai R55 models. Transitional inventory management allows 48-hour Greater Toronto Area deliveries for urgent replacements. Consider lead times: standard steel tracks ship in 3 days, while vulcanized rubber variants take 7 days for cold-weather optimizations.
How to verify track compatibility?
Measure three parameters: pitch (distance between link pins), width, and lug height. Most 1-3 ton mini-excavators use 90mm pitch tracks with 300mm width. AFTparts’ online compatibility checker cross-references 500+ models using OEM schematics.
For example, Bobcat 335 matches AFT’s 65 Shore hardness tracks (model TR-335RB) designed to reduce vibration transfer to rollers. Remember: Oversized lugs in muddy conditions? They’ll strain carrier rollers beyond their 12kN radial load capacity. Transitioning between terrains? Carry spare master links—Ontario’s rocky soils can shear standard 8.8-grade bolts.
